I have no problem using 160gsm (cca 0.15mm thick in my case) where 110 lb is needed. But as Zathros said it is not buletproof equation. Maybe try to contact designer, Ken West. He should be able to tell what paper thicknes of 100lb he calculated with.

Perfect, I will try to build it in my prefered scale 1:48 someday soon..

Hello friends, new acitivities of some formu membes building their beautiful (and also big) Star Wars models (mainly Tie-figter and alike) motivates me (thank you for that guysthumbsup ) to finish this A-wing build, so I can finish my WIP Tie-figter too :). So here is some progres on texturing...

I would use metal ruler as a guide to make cuts straight

You can use this type of blade and shorten it to be about 2 mil wide. Then you can "punch" four sides of each square quite fast. I saw it done this way (much more then 400 squares) and the guy did it realy precise. It looked like laser cut.

Edit: Sorry I just noticed you need square holes, not round. Possible solution is to adhust old blade to the length of your square side and cut with it like with a chissel. I do not know how big are your holes, but I use this set for punching small holes (0,25mm - 1,35mm)

I have it for 5 years now and have not any issue with smell. Maybe it had some odour brand new, but It was fine to me because I do no remember. It has none now.

I have Olfa mat and I have nothing bad to say.

Hi friends, this is where I am with my Tie-figther design. It is ower the top model for paper model purposes, so that is why it takes me so long. When I started it there was no such accuarte 3d model of tie-fighter that I was aware of, so I took this approach to make him detailed copy of...

These are just old photos reuploaded, as some of you surely remember the model is finished for quite some time :)

Some photos from convention: I will do some propper beautyshots. I owe it to it :)

Hello friends, I would like to upload few photos from the last stages of the build, that are missing from the posts. Maybe one day I will fix the missing images in posts, but I am not in the mood now. Cokckpit details: Closed cockpit: Canons: Wing assembled: Was not happy with R2, so I...

Eaxctly mijob, and joints matched panellines.

I did some test with waterforming, that Zathros and Dan-B-King introduced me to, for my tie-fighter and tie-advanced build and it went well even with printed surfaces. I am able to produce this nice double curved surfaces that wil form the ball and their joints are located at panel lines.

Realy nice diorama, lighting is wery atmospheric

Superb work. Actualy, it was real prop:

That is precise build. Great work.

Thank you for the picturres Zathros. This Viking rudder tiller handle is replica of Gokstad one. I am courious how much detail from this beautiful carvings I will be able to present on my model in 1:48 scale :) This is the original:
