    Saucer Playhouse Project

    J2 Blues My thanks for the kind replies, and trust me the J2 from LIS has been a serious consideration but the potential size-cost issues have been a deterrent. I'm realistically looking at an area available for any project not to exceed perhaps fifteen (15) or twenty (20) in diameter, the...

    Saucer Playhouse Project

    Greetings all, I'm working out a project to build a playhouse for my second generation (gen-2) nephews, what I've discussed with their dad is a kid-scaled flying saucer as a playhouse-playfort. So now begins the design process which I'm doing as a series of paper models to best illustrate...

    Cardboard Structures everywhere

    I do cardstock-cardboard modeling for projects other than MRR and care to pass on one of the techniques-tools I find handy. I have several different sized 'ink-depleted' roller-ball tip pens I use to score materials before cutting with a traditional blade, the steel or ceramic ball-tips work...

    Colonial Landram from Battlestar Galactica

    Armor Scale Beautiful model, may I suggest scaling such in either 1/48 or 1/35, as both are very common AFV-armor kit sizes, finding figures and other accessories to add to the Land Ram-Snow Ram would be easily achieved. That said, many might like 1/72 as that is a most popular hobby kit scale...

    Model Of The Week: Thompson Machine Pistol

    Homebrew Mind your experiences and results may differ from mine but I've had fairly acceptable results with making my own 'filler' paste. Try mixing dry corn starch with any water based adhesive, white glue, wood glue, etc, pretty much need to 'eyeball' the ratio of dry to wet as to get a...

    Warhammer 40K Vulture

    I like how you 'integrate' 40K designs to the more 'conventional' world, not really been a big fan of the aircraft until your project has made me give such a second look. Just curious if you apply similar treatment to any of the 40K armor and related vehicles ?

    A truly inspired build and a most clever interpretation of a 40K vehicle, Kudos !

    Outland Shuttle Build

    The shuttle is one of the greatly overlooked gems of 'classic' science fiction film designs, ugly as a stump but so charming in just that aspect.

    Question about getting detailed building drawings

    Libraries are excellent places to locate books on architecture, commercial or residential, invest a bit of time at your local branch to see what's available on the shelves. Also while on the subject, speak to a reference librarian, such a conversation can be most rewarding and worth the effort...
