    did you download my annotated version of the pdf, it should help, first because you can reference the parts that you don't understand by numbers and second because I wrote about what each are for. I'll post more pictures

    thank you. Here is the current status (I could put back the previous stand for the talon and like you paint it one color and add a nice name plate at the bottom)

    as I don't have a clear rod underhand I'll try with the flutes that I just bought. The idea is definitely to make the craft look like it is flying I'll also need to do something for the bottom of the base. About the welding rod, I don't weld so I wouldn't know but isn't that metallic, not clear?

    any suggestions to improve on the base (short of buying one from GW). I am currently thinking about painting it light blue, another idea I have floating in my head is to use a clear plastic throwaway champagne flute.

    pretty much done, the only thing is that I still couldn't figure out what parts 29/36 are for. I'll paint and pretty up the stand, it is still in rough cardboard. Of course the turret and the engines can rotate. A note, I found a much nicer and less labor intensive way to make the rivets...

    engine done with one engine. I had some fun with the nozzle, I decided to detail the louvered side openings (not sure why they would be there, maybe someone can come up with an explanation but they are cool). Anyway tell me what you think of the result

    A4 Card Stock in the US?

    there is one, it is the A standard from A0 to A5 and beyond... It is just that the USA don't use it. To be fair the paper size standard really make sense if you use the SI system as it starts off with a 1m2 (or as close as possible) sheet in a proportion such as if you cut it in half you keep...

    No I contacted him by email and the answer was: "I have no problem with that. " Once I am done with the model (in a few days) I'll have annotated most parts and it will be the good time to put it in the download section

    A4 Card Stock in the US?

    This solution will be simple enough if you don't care about the scale which will be slightly off. I know Peter has manifested interest in some war40k models were the scale is important

    progress from yesterday: added some air intake on the top of the craft and the tail "horizontal" plane (the quotes are there because they are in fact slightly inclined. Also finished the chin gun mount and the vtol thrusters. Left: Main engines, gun turret, missile launchers, antennae (kept...

    No it is fairly easy and it is only 3 pages. You do have to guess how to put it together though. To do so the pictures of the assembled model on newobmij's blog are of great help.

    stormtalon by newobmij

    thanks for the rotation, as usual it is more the modeler than the model which is a problem. If you look at the template, many parts are glued to the main hull using tabs. The way it works is that the part will be for instance in the shape of a pyramid without a base. The bottom of the pyramid...

    a few more pics, I have added the tail boom and vertical plane as well as the chin gun mount. I am not so happy with how my raised rivets look but I'll finish the model that way. Also had some difficulties gluing the tail boom flush to the body. (UPDATE: I don't understand why the picture in...

    stormtalon by newobmij

    Hello, I have just started building the stormtalon from newobmij template. I have just built the main body and canopy. I have printed everything in double and I am making all the details in the texture pop out by cutting them out of the extra sheet, edging them and gluing them to the main...

    I don't think you come out bad, it is a legitimate warning, that glue has use but not for everything. For the photomount you know for how long I have been doing paper modeling (not a year yet), which means I don't have the required 2+ years of experience, I hope I wont have bad surprises
