I would love to see construction pics of these little wonders. These are such awesome models. Your dioramas are great. Build threads is something I believe many would like to see. ;)

Your garage floor is so clean. Just how thick is that concrete, being able to support a tank like that? I call shenanigans, I'm having my doubts this a real tank, it must be some kind of hologram! :)

The interiors you put in these models makes them pull you in deeper and deeper. There's no sense of scale and with so much detailing, it's shocking to see how small they are!! :)

The use of the balloon is brilliant. You may have single handily increased the balloon sales demographic!! :)

So much information. Well chosen pics means less words. Excellent, the "show side" of the model is movie miniature quality. ;)

Man, I know about having rough years. I lost a lot of family last year, and won't even go into my health issues. I'm also happy you are back and continuing with this project. It's coming out great. The greebling is really making it pop! You could use some Popsical sticks to make the walls a...

May he have a speedy and full recovery. This thread is great, thank you Rhaven. I think many have built his Viper. It isn't overly complicated, and you end up with a great model you can look at or play with. :) :)

I don't think a sphere made ot of paper can be done any better than you have demonstrated. Your thread is so instructional, it should be an inspiration for other types of models that can benefit from this kind of detailing. Excellent, all the way around!! :)

Your Millennium Falcon is excellent! :)

I picked up a set of Scissors from "Micheal"s Craft Stores' that have various radii built into the set, small to large scissors. They too can be very useful. Excellent thread!! It's a "STICKY" now. :)

For a long time, I had a small drafting table for measurements, French Curve set, string, "L" shaped Square, compass, lots of pencils. I made some my finest ships hulls then. We're also here to help, so go for it. ;)

There are many edges in the figures, but there are many edges in the actual Anime' that the figures come from. Figures are the only model that I am of the opinion Pepakura does very well. With some extra work, I also cut the parts so the lines are gone, that way you just have color to color...

Awesome figurines, the painting is excellent!! :)

One way is to download models and study them. "Kitbashing", putting models of different types to make something different can give you a real feel. As far as software, that kind of depends on your general background. A compass, rule, and square, a set of French Curves can get you a very long...

I really like the movement of the Fox. I can imagine a Horse done similarly using 4 strips and having them going to the legs diagonally. :)

It can work, but only with water forming the parts after you glue them together. This means you must use a Pigment based Inkjet printer, and waterproof glue. :)

No instructions, but if you know the model, or look at enough images, you should be able to figure it out. :)

Balsa Wood framed Paper Airplanes are covered with tissue paper (a special kind) and when they are glued to the Balsa Wood frame of the aircraft and wings, they are pulled a tight as possible without tearing the tissue. Once dried, the tissue is "doped" ( Nitrocellulose Lacquer) which is a...

WTF! I have never seen such devotion. Will this be a sphere when you're done? Won't you need a zoning permit to keep something like that in your yard? Incredible!!!
