I'd really like to build a model of the ISV Venture Star, Dented Rick, so I'd definitely encourage that! It'd be incredibly fragile (they mention that the structure would collapse without weightlessness). I guess you could print a lot of the fine structure onto transparencies to reduce the...

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll probably have a stab at the Samson afterwards, if I can get some reasonable references. I think I saw that someone online made an impressively detailed mesh for one, which was of much better quality than I would be able to achieve. I believe I saw a post of his...

Hello everyone - Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I'm pretty new to the forums, although I've been doing papercraft for a while. I enjoy building my own 3D models from scratch using Wings 3D, a free, open-source program which is quite simple, but I find very intuitive. I'm pretty...

Any plans to release this? It looks really good. Incidentally, do you know if you can extract the game files from the xbox disc, or do you need the PC version?

It's a great shame that it's not written in Java, because then it'd be very easy to port to Mac and Linux. You could even put it on Android without too much fuss. I'd have thought they would lose a fair share of their market by not supporting Mac - I notice almost all vector, bitmap and 3d...

I'm not sure what I've got that on - it may well have been due to impatience, and not letting the ink dry. I'm in the UK but thanks anyway for the tip about the website. EDIT - I actually varnished the first paper model I ever made, a helmet from the marines in Halo: Combat Evolved - but...

I tend to find that if I've been building a dark model, my fingertips are quite black after a while, which can be a problem if you don't watch it and avoid handling light parts. I'd also like to experiment with finishes. You can get artists' fixative in matt, satin and gloss, and I'd like to get...

Has anybody ever tried using a fixative spray on paper parts before they are cut and folded, to prevent the ink loss that you get, particularly on mountain folds, during assembly and subsequent handling? I know that they're available as artists' fixatives and also specialised inkjet fixative. I...

Do you know if there's one of the Casspir? I don't recognise that one at all from the movie. The one that van de Merwe travels to District 9 in, which has the helpful announcements like 'a smile is cheaper than a bullet,' is a four-wheeled anti-mine APC with no turret, called a Casspir (see...

I think if you recorded the design process, and then edited together 15 minute sections, perhaps even tutorials on specific topics, with a commentary about why/how you did what is currently being shown, answers to questions people had asked, etc., and placed it on YouTube, that it would be a...

Ah, OK, it's a little quieter around here than forums I'm used to so I didn't bother to check the dates and didn't notice. Sorry!

Any particular ones you're after? A lot of his illustrations of machines are either quite boring, like the spaghetti-extruding machine, or very intricate, or show horses or people, which are hard to render convincingly in paper... The tank would look very nice in paper though, I'd be very...

Oh right - Thanks! Not sure how I missed that! I think I actually prefer the aesthetics of the incomplete one, plus I must have seen 2001 at least ten times but 2010 only once, so I might try working on a 2001 'conversion kit' once I've had a little look at it.

That Scorpion doesn't look too bad but when I built it I did notice that it isn't terribly accurate. I'd like to have a go at the Samson. Does anybody know if it's possible to extract the meshes from Ubisoft game files? I had a go with a 3D screen capture programme a little while ago but it just...

I seek an immensely detailed Rivendell diorama papercraft... Do any ground plans or birds-eye views exist?

Does anybody know if Uhu plans to make Space Station 5 from 2001 any time soon? I've got some basic geometries worked out but I wondered if it would be worth pursuing it to fruition or if I should just bide my time.
