    Buran Grasshopper

    One thing I'm a little confused about, there are many photos of Buran/Energia on Grasshopper, in some pics the Grasshopper is green and some it's battleship grey. I know there are two Grasshoppers, both are grey (and rust) now. The grasshoppers were originally built for the Moon Rocket, and...

    Re-scaling downloaded designs

    I had that problem once, and I solved it by making sure the first pic was completely dry, then flipping the paper and reinserting it into the printer. Only works if the pics are less that half the card.

    Buran Grasshopper

    Buran Grasshopper

    Thanks for your reply. I've already been to this site, and downloaded some of the best views. I'm drawing it in Autocad. This is going to be a big project, I hope I have the time and patience to finish it.

    1/48 space craft

    I saw a Mercury capsule in a museum once, and I'm still amazed that those guys were able to squeeze into that thing for months and months training for a short duration flight. Great build.

    All time favorite: ST Voyager. After that, any ST except DS9, BSG (both 1978 and 2004) Space 1999, Lost in Space (series and movie), Seaquest. All the SW movies are watchable, but my favorite is Empire Strikes Back.

    How to protect paper models from dust?

    Do you have any problems with clear coat spray messing up the printer ink on the model? I've never tried spraying on printer ink.
