One can never over engineer a paper model. :mrgreen:

Was that Patrick Stewart doing the voice-over ?

Should anyone be interested, the film is based on the book Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny, a good read on it's own stead.

Maybe I'm old school-caveman primitive but depending on the model I've had fair success with a wash of thinned white glue mixed with finely shredded/chopped paper fibers. Such applied on the 'interior' face of said individual pieces.

My builds are either prototypes of my own designs or rescales of 'established' models by others, in either case I often incorporate such things as coffee stirs, cocktail straws or wooden chopsticks as reinforcing 'stiffeners' to ease assembly.

I believe there were a set of A-Team figures made in 1/64 for a die-cast vehicle set, definitely a George Peppard available there. Also Galoob did figures back in the 1980s.

A bit of a pre-digital dinosaur myself, cut my teeth on those tactical-strategic board games of the 1970s, played a lot of tabletop and RPGs at university and now find myself developing chess variants and other boardgames for my Gen2 nieces and nephews.

A most belated and heartfelt Happy Birthday wish Z, I do hope the attached image excuses bad manners.

How tragic, never ever toss out designs or drawings no matter the circumstances if such is avoidable.

As with all good things, well worth the wait !

A most unique yet still very brilliant model, grain elevators have a subtle understated charm all to their own design.

To paraphrase a quote stated by a star-faring Zen master, "I'm have more faith in what you don't know than in other peoples facts."

Thanks for the link for that, preparing to teach my nieces and nephews about tabletop gaming, the scenery will be most welcome with their 54mm soldiers !

May I suggest a steady regiment of green tea with honey for all to avoid the colder season's near-unavoidable colds and coughs.

Why of course such have a purpose, they make the otherwise simply cool look awesome !

Simply an insane, brilliant and well executed model, many thanks for sharing such !

I'm wondering if the Landram-Snowram shared the same chassis below as did the Chariot from the Lost In Space TV series. Not saying that would have been a bad thing by any means.

My understanding is that Ralph McQuarrie originally submitted the Thunder Fighter to ABC for BSG but the design was dismissed for the iconic Viper aircraft.

Kudos on that amazing landing leg assembly, I might just 'wuss out' and do the model here using Lego bits and Plastruct for the so-delicate looking paper pieces my man-paws would simply destroy. That said, I think the Aries 1-B influenced a generation of SF and gaming fans, the 800 ton...

Good things are well worth waiting for, this model in particular proves that rule !
