Maaaann.. I have GOT to catch up on lotz of missed reading ~ This is Absolutely Brilliant stuff Lex. ~ My Nirvana 'Holy Grail' of developments has an anime figure with it, and I had no idea how to even start. Its way over my little potato head skill set just yet, so this tut is going to make all...

Let's take 'er down. lol ~ I'm looking forward to re-enacting that bit using the model ~ With full vocal sound effects of course ! :razz: lol thanks Doc ~ no pressure eh lol ~ You were the Big G instigator that led me to this great forum, so I can't break from tradition ~ I'll make sure...

??!...Its a shame the pulling bit is so small, the gantry arm would make a nice mounting bracket for a larger model.

Thanks Péricles ~ I wish ~ Fame, Fortune and Dancing Girls!. sign1 progress ~ Mmmmm.. The perils of P*** Poor Planning. Had to go back a step and properly mate the mini-stromo to refinery's platform. * I should have developed them as a single unit in the first place. The Nostromo...

:eek: Excellent first effort wlock ! Your build of the ''D's' saucer section is one of the cleanest I seen. Most excellent ! :thumb::thumb:

nothing ~ There are a number of ways to make textures like these, I've noted the basics for the method i use, for Knight when he was working on his detail set for Skips Sulaco < on this page > with the exception that this is for texturing the 3D model, and I leave the panelling ON the base...

nothing ~ I use META itself, and a bitmap editor ( PaintShopPro V4) * give me 10 minutes and I'll whip up a 'did it this way' gfx. CJTK ~ Hehe.. 5 grams of fat or less.. I guess that makes the Nostromo an h'orderve for the refinery. 9 ~ Thanks mate, I wish my teachers had said that to...

Thanks guys, yep Its going to be a cute little sucker. Progress ~ nearly finished texturing the main hull. I figure a few ppl would prefer to just build the Nostromo without the mega refinery, so I've spent time making an insanely small under carriage ( just 2d shapes) the main nose...

CJTK ~ good idea mate ~ but more coffee needed lol.. Problem ~ Problem ~ Problem Thanks stackw ! :mrgreen: Doc ~ I hope it won't disappoint you, the Nostromo by herself is going to be pretty small.. Ok, the Nostromo's engine is build-able at this scale ( if I can do it, anyone can)...

All righty then, I'll put the whip away ~ crime paid for in FULL ! Those arms definitely look like the business ~ I love the plating on the sides. Is it laminated onto thick cardstock/cardboard ? All it needs now is the engine pod and few wisps of steam coming off it. *Oh Nooo.. i just...

Duncan !! very disconcerting news cousin. As parent of a child with a disability, I can understand how traumatic any problem with a child's health can be for a family ( Even if its only a scare) Its a real roller coaster ride of emotion for quite a while. Your family will be in our thoughts, and...

??? :whip1: many days... no pictures!

Yep, can do. I haven't grabbed many of the Nostromo, because there's so much reference material on it floating about on the net. I'll get to clicking and grab + post some that may be of interest. Progress ~ Uggghh.. the parts for the Nostromo's engines are TINY! I didn't even get past the...

lol maybe your right, cause I can't help myself ~ there's to much juicy stuff here.. Here you go ekuth, a mini Raider for your Big G .. sorry only spent an hour or so on it and I didn't have time to test it, so I have no idea if its build-able, probably a few flaps missing/ misplaced etc.. +...

mmm... 1/2 ~ 2/3 isn't toooo bad ~ not microscope material! For your production line you could place the engine tubes/textures in one long continuos line, like soup can labels, and just slice em off per engine.. lol + a few teeny tiny Cylon raiders would be kewl as well.. A super detailed...

Hot4Darmat ~ Yep I was a little concerned as well, although the print test proved promising. I printed the parts on standard letter paper @ minimum print quality and they came out reasonably well ~ Win ! The Engine, printed from the pdo on A4, will build to approx 6 cm ( 2 1/2 " ?) ~ the...

Yep.. missed this one, ~ well done! he looks great .!. You just need a production line now, so you can spit out a squadron or two for your Big G.. Have you done any calculation for scale ekuth ? as in how small would a Viper need to be to match your MEGA. G..? :thumb:

Well said Duncan ~ creativity, satisfaction and FUN.. all the things a hobby should be. ( Well... Disregarding Dev stress :mrgreen:) :yep:

Yep good advice, I'll concentrate on the Nostromo for a bit, something for the refinery will present itself. Had a more productive day working on the pulling bit, I managed to reduce the engine pontoons down to approx 10 (+ -) main parts, some of which may have to be assembled with butt...

Maybe difficult to build but boy they look good! eeerrrr.... ummmm.... Ahhhhhhh....... At risk of having bricks thrown at me by the hoovers, I'm certainly looking at a model that would qualify as ummm... *commercial* quality. :yep:
