Colonial Viper (in paper/cardstock)

[Rhaven Blaack]

I know that it has been awhile since I have been on here. However, I would like everyone to know that both my family and I are doing well while dealing with this whole COVID-19 issue. I hope and pray that all of your OK as well.

TO show you what I have been doing to keep myself busy, while in quarantine, I just finished a beta test build of a paper/cardstock model of the Colonial Viper (from the original BSG).
Here are the photos.
Yes, EVERYTHING that you see in these photos (to include the launch rail) is made of paper/cardstock.

Everything has been sent back to the designer for review and revision. Once he has finished it, then it will be released.
There are other variations in the works as well.

I am continually amazed at what can be done with paper. Nice work.

Thank you very much. Even though paper has limitations, there is quite a bit that you can do and make with paper.
Paper/cardstock model building is something that I have done for a very long time. Paper/cardstock model building is considerably cheaper than most other mediums (to include plastic). Not only that, but there are more SCI-FI models available in paper/cardstock then all other mediums combined.

Yo pal, great post of your bird! I'll be posting my Alpha build as well soon. (Yep, I designed the template for this bird in association with Rhaven; the opening canopy is his work .)

Howdee, fans! Since my dear friend Rhaven Blaack has posted his take on the Viper I thought it would be good to show you how the project started. Rhaven and I are die-hard BSG and Buck Rogers fans and especially fond of paper as a medium for model building. My first paper model in years was...
