That's some nice plasticard work. How do you get it to hold its form so well?

Would you say it's... ludicrous?

No, it was jammed.

The ribs are 1mm thick and I just use a sheet of 0.5, keep it bigger than the final shape, hold it over the form and use a light underneath to mark the touching points and then cut to shape. Each curve is only in two planes though so it's easy to bend round and glue.

Also, always use a sharp scalpel. I'm cutting enough at the moment that I replace the blade every other day.

If anyone is interested, I get my 1mm and 0,5mm sheet in about A3 size for less than £2 per sheet from:

Wow! Great work!

And thanks for the tip!

Ok, here's the next bit as I have been away for the weekend and came back to a nice delivery of fighters from shapeways.

(Please excuse the naff photos, I can't take pictures for toffee.

)

A pair of Y-Wing Longprobes.

TIE Recon and TIE Vanguard.

A very fuzzy shot of T-65BR X-Wings.

I've also knocked up a bridge for the Strike cruiser and started a little bit of city-scaping.

Here's some more body work and the main shape laid out now.

I've started kitting up the engine area in true ILM fashion!

Um, procrastinating? Collecting My Little Pony figures? Getting a tattoo of Nick on your buttock? Building a Golan II space station?

Any of these close?

You could be just as close with all four, I reckon.

Despite my laptop dying and having no idea how an I Pad works, I have managed to get a couple of new photos up.

Here's a quick shot of the main hull with lots of detail you can't see.

Here's a close-up of the main bridge.

There's lots of detail on the underside, lots, and lots.

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #191 on:** 08 April 2016, 09:23:25 PM »

Well, take some pictures then

cheers

Looking good so far....

I'm only jealous because I can't do anything for Star Wars until after Salute

cheers
