That is ridiculous! I'm damn impressed, especially if that is your first attempt! I'm just starting to look into the model building, and this really makes me want to look more into the pepakura stuff. Wow, just wow... Going to make a big Galactica next?
I never did watch the Galactica series. Heard lots of good things about it but never watched it.
What I would like to have is a big Cerberus Normandy model and a big Prometheus model. Having the latter would be amazing. I watched pictures of it and wondered how I could make one but it's just too complex right now.
For anyone interested: my current projects (excluding school) are pepakura based Witch King helmet (nearly finished), Zangetsu from Bleach, District 9 Assault rifle and making a CNC router.
I did all of the measurements by eye. I sketched a lot of the details directly on the model until they looked right and than took the measurements off that.
I cut all of them with scissors or an xacto knife, nothing fancy here.
I cut holes in the front of the engines with a dremel, than I made paper cones/cups (pep style). I made that center nipple thingy (how's that called anyway?) with some balls I picked up in the art store. I glued a paper collar on the ball and glued that in the cone. The "blades" are just strips of thick dense paper. The panels on the engines are also paper.
I printed this on cardstock just with a laser pritner. I used 200 gram paper/cardstock (which is 2.5 times heavier than normal printer paper) and it went through just fine.
Ziga, can you please measure your Serenity nose to tail and let me know how long she actually is. I have heard 90 and 80 cm stated....but is it actually 81, 82 83 cm etc?
