Yeah the textures/models on the protagonist are not likely to support such a large scale. Are all of those models in the shots your builds? That looks like the Moldy Crow available here. I've not yet had the time to put that beaut together myself.

That build looks brilliant mate! The pictures in the snow really make the model seem lifelike. I made one just after it came out, although I scaled it down to 1:50 first. As a point of reference, 1:20 is the same scale as the 3.5" figurines, although you'd have to chop the legs off at the knee...

You are very, very brave.... :mrgreen: With a laser printer Jan's textures will pop in all of their gorgeous glory. Those will look incredible once done, of that I am certain. Tirick

I still have not found magnets to suit. Have to hit some more stores after the holidays. In the meanwhile I'm working on the torso and legs of the model. The torso is now complete, although building six at a time was a bit arduous. I think I clocked somewhere around 12 hours on the lot, so maybe...

After building the open cab, I realized I had sufficient parts to build three armored Sentinels cabs as well. Once I completed detailing the cab, mostly just using the detail provided (built up of course), I build the extra cabs and printed leg and weapon components to match. I actually...

Because of pepakura's limitation I usually break each part down into separate textures. I usually gauge about 100-150 dpcm on a print (250-400 dpi), and setup the textures accordingly, keeping the resolution on a 1:1 (or even higher, often I get 2:1 or 3:1) pixels:dots. This keeps nice crisp...

Ugh... super long update delay. Started as a paint shortage and slipped into a full-fledged distraction. Nevertheless, the Chimeras are now painted. With the onset of winter it may be a while before they are coated, and so I might yet add an insignia as well (a silhouette of a raven in...

Emplacement rough-ins are now built. I have an upper deck section, but for display I may use a clear acetate panel. Aside from some minor adjustments to the door, I'm nearly done. All of the components are modeled and printed, I hope to build those over the next few days...

There are no words to describe how awesome that looks! Brilliant build and re-engineering of Jan's excellent work!

A bit late for it now, mate, but the 1:24 APC scales down quite nicely to 1:75 (1:72 should be easy). I was trying to scale it to 1:50 years ago and bolloxed up the measurements (didn't figure it out until I built the main box). It is a LOT more detailed than the 1:148 you are using. I can snap...

Hello, and welcome! Not much into trains myself (although as my boy gets older, I may if his interest in the topic stays). Can't resist saying hello to a fellow Canuck though. I'm just 'down the road' from you (read, 300 km down the 401), although my wife has family in Brockville. Have to say...

Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, or maybe Akira. Really hard to pick 'favorite of all time', there are so many to choose from.

I'm glad I could be an inspiration. Were I tackling that I would likely start with a 12-sided tapered cylinder, easy enough in a 3d modeling program (I use Blender). I have some texture tweaking to do (I'm not happy with the carriage), but all of the modeling is now complete. I've attached...

Hate to ask... I cannot find any canon dropship on Jan's site other than at 1:148 scale (in the Hadley's Hope area). I don't speak Czech, could you post a direct link to the download page? I've been looking to scale a dropship to match my 1:48 APC (Jan's rescaled) and 1:72 would be very sweet...

Where did you find this model mate? Is this Jan's model?

I've been playing around a little this morning, and I have a rough mock-up now for the cannon emplacement. It's not textured, but will serve as a good tool to showcase the gun and the blocks/tools that will be included (not yet modeled). I'll eventually clean it up and texture it, perhaps...

I've finished the full assembly (of the modeled components), and aside from some minor tweaks, I think it works quite well. I've included some pictures with a 35mm Reaper miniature for scaling. As 35mm is very close to 1:50, I'm certain you'll get the idea. The entire model is about 5cm long, or...

#3 is great, as it offers both two principle languages, and also allows a google-translated page the chance at translating from two sources of language. That said, whatever works easiest for you is best.

I've finished the carriage assembly, and all that awaits are the wheels and struts. Sadly the carriage alone puts the guns to high to mount in the Maiden but they still look fantastic. This has been one of the easiest of my prototypes to assemble, and comes close to the top in my list of...

I've aluded to this project in other threads, but as it is very close to completion I think it a great time to show some teaser build shots. This (like most of my models) will be available in 1:50 and 1:35 scale, and will eventually be accompanied by an appropriate British Naval crew. The...
