Hi Mijob I did quite some research on tie fighter and I am working on a 3d model to be paper model. This is comparison with original. And I am the one discucing the scale in your link to papirovemodelarstvi. So be aware that If you choose to use Bandai dimensions/scales (= length of...

That would be great

Maybe. My experience from paper model convention is that lot of great detiled models siting next to each other is not as striking visualy as one great detailed model in the room. But it is just me. :sticktongue::bulgeeye:

Uhu did it according to original model miniature. Full scale cockpit set has it as you did it. So both configuration can be seen in a movie :)

Marcel, YOU SOLVED ITt, great idea - the window can be rotated by pilot (or automaticly). thumbsup :) That is why it was rotated diferently in movie. And if you rotate it realy fast the parts of the frame of the window will disapear to the eye so almost no obstacles in view from cockpit...

Hi friends finaly cutting some paper. This time I do not use waterbased glue for the frame and laminating. I will use it later on planking. Because the keel and stems have variable thicknes I did inner structure by layering the paper. then I covered it by skin layer: I scribed the edge...

Thanky you for update Marcel. Starbuck, you are building it? No build thread?

I love when someone builds SW models. It makes me want to continue with mine, at least for a while :).

Big beast :) . Nice work, geometry is great.thumbsup

Please do, it will improve the model greatly.

Great - Star Wars stuff :). And pictures finaly :). I would love to see it with some objects in the picture (hand for example) to better admire the size of it. I am curiouse how you will solve the wing attachement to the body. I am looking forward to get ispired :). As you wrote wing ara quite...

Nice to see some Star Wars stuff on the bench :). Great start, are you planning to color the edges?

It is beautifful!!

Little progress with modeling. Some historian said to me it is possible that rowers sat on deck beams, not on the chests, so I did some tests to see in what position rows would be to the rowers. It looks like realistic option. All functional replicas I know of use chests for rowers to sit on, so...

Thank you. So painting technique seems to be fine, but I am still thinking about the colour of the paint. I am using Roskilde museum replicas as color reference. All their ships have this dark colour, but I recently find out that they use modern chemical - Hempel's Classic, which has copper...

Thank you boys. I would like to represent some wear and tear but shouldn´t it be more uniform and not so rought, for the paint of the ship?

Hello friends, I did test paint. It should represent tar and linsen oil paint. What do you think, does il looks right?

Thank you Gandolf50. It is one of the plans I am using. It is from Nicolaysen, archeologist who dug up the ship. I have all his plans and drawings of the ship. This plan is arecheological piece - it is from year 1882. I would like to know how these plans were made, how the ship was measured...

Thank you :) Planking is finished. I am quite happy with it, It is quite close to the original.

Nice article about it from viking ship replica build at the museum is here: http://www.americanshipwright.com/blog/2016/8/16/bending-a-plank-with-fire
