Hello,
I'm experimenting with my first weapon, the
NSP by Hoborginc.
I printed the template on 160 gsm paper; in the past I tried with 240 gsm, but its too much for the smallest details, so I aborted that building.
A note about the template: it's made of 6 PNG images that fit in letter format. Since I have A4 sheets, I rearranged the parts in each page so as not to overflow the smaller width, since I did not want to scale the model down (otherwise I should have scaled my hand down too for when I'll have to hold it once finished
).
I scored and cut all the parts, these are the first I built as now:
- side faces
- slide corners
- slide rear walls
- sights
I glued the hand grip strips on the side faces one by one, but it would have been better to cut them as a scallop to keep step and slant and then cut the "dorsal junction" away at the end. Perhaps I will redo them this way.
More have to come, stay tuned!
