I like that suggestion for the thread title, I think I shall use it! :) & Thank you for the compliment! :)

Thanks for the compliment! :) As for the Excelsior, my progress on her has been slow. I may not post any more pics of that particular build, my printer wasn't working great when I printed out that model & I've had some frustrations with it. However, I have been seriously considering starting a...

Here is a teaser "Glamour shot" of the almost finished model, with another space background I've been experimenting with. More to come soon! :)

I thank you for that! :) Unfortunately, my chubby, arthritic fingers sometimes make it extremely difficult to work on the smaller parts.:headbange: I have however received some very good advice from my fellow Zealots on how best to use straight pins, nails & tweezers as well as a great deal of...

Thank you Rhaven Blaack! I haven't been able to work on her much in the past few weeks, just nibbling here & there where I can. The bow section won't be as presentable as I would prefer, but I'm very happy with the way the mid & back half turned out. :)

I can't wait to see this model finished! No hurry! No hurry!:drinksmile: & then I am eagerly anticipating what "Greebling Goodness" you will bring us for your next model build.No pressure, No pressure.;) :fireguy::)Claphands

I was having some "dimpling" issues in the bow section, & having difficulty getting the seams to line up right for me. So, I started making my own "panels" to cover the bow mid-seam. The pic doesn't really do it justice though. It looked much worse before.

Just a few more progress pics. First, some sensors, or guns, I'm not sure which. Whatever you wish them to be I suppose.:) Anyway, they were so small, I had to print them on thin copy paper. Then, I glued & rolled them with a straight pin. The pic shows the approximate positioning. How to roll...

Then the nose is glued to the head. That is as far as I've gotten this evening. Will post more progress pics soon. :)

Part 7, wrapped in part 9, then faced with part 10. Then wrapped with part 8 to complete the nose. For the head, part 11a is formed into a cone, part 13 into a tube, then 11a is glued into part 13.

I'm almost finished with the Geminon Traveler, I am currently very patiently working with the smaller parts to finish it, & will post some pics soon. In the meantime, I have started working on Revell-Fan's Colonial Movers ship. Thought I'd add some color to the fleet.I opted for the smaller...

Thanks Zathros! Yeah, the thought had crossed my mind that the name of this thread would at some point sound a bit silly. When I first started it, I guess I was drawing a blank for an original thread name, thus Beginnings. I am still in the beginning phases of the fleet, only having built 5...

Thank you for that spaceagent-9! I sincerely hope you are feeling better, & I am happy to see you back with us!

Hey everyone, I haven't had any progress on the Geminon Traveler in the past few days, though I am trying to finish it this week. Hope to post the finished pics soon. I may not be posting much in the next few weeks. I am in the process of a major house remodel & will be moving, hopefully within...

I agree, I too love the " shock factor" when I tell people "Yes, it is paper." :) & then the questions ensue & then I warm to my subject. :)

Here are a few more pics with all 3 engines now mounted. It's getting really close to being finished. I might add a few more greebles toward the front. I also need to assemble & mount the communications array, as well as 6 small thruster cones, 2 for each engine. I also have a puckering issue...

Thanks Rhaven Blaack, I do see some potential for more greebles on this model, but I'm ready to wrap this particular project up so I can move on to my next build. :)

I think I had a little tear try to pop out of my eye seeing these new pics! The work you're doing here is just amazing!:Bravo: I was just wondering if I was overdoing the greebles on my own Geminon Traveler build, but seeing the overwhelming success of the greebling you've done here & reading...

& a few more greebles & parts on the rear of the ship. The dark conduit looking pieces are very small, I had to print them on regular copy paper instead of card stock to get them to roll. They were exasperatingly difficult for my fat fingers to work with. I finally called it "good enough", but...

The left engine mounted, with a bit more greebling between the upper & left engine. I will do the same on the right side. Hope I'm not overdoing it with the greebles.
