Looking for Star Wars Rebel Blockade Runner
Hello everyone, new here, Long time paper hobbyer and fan. Still getting used to the place.
Just wondering if anyone is working on or has posted a paper model of the Rebel Blockade Runner. Can't seem to find one anywhere. Thanks. |

Awesome. I've been reading Star Wars: X-Wing books lately, and just finished "Iron Fist" where Wraith squadron captures and uses a Corellian Corvette as a pocket carrier. Might end up having to model that...
Now to just model the interior, find scale xwings and ties, and.... all the other things I have to do... |

If that's the pepakura model I think it is, it's a horrible model. Geometry clipping all over the place. Looking at it in Pepakura viewer showed the fins didn't terminate, they just went straight through the hull. Important stuff that should have borders had none.
It's a rip from a 3D model or perhaps a game (XWA Update perhaps?) and will be most bothersome to build. I wish folks wouldn't just rip from 3D models like that. IMO that does NOT equate to a paper model! They need to shape the parts so that they actually fit where they should. There should be NO geometry clipping! That's what makes it a paper model vs a digital 3D shape with a texture! /rant off |

I agree with you on the issue of bad modls ripped from games, RM. I have the same complaint about many different models out thre, including some from people who should know better.
That said, I just took a look at my copy of the above file, and I don't think its the "Bad" one. Of course, I haven't tried to build this one yet, but I know I've seen another one somewhere that just looks unbuildable, and this isn't it. Atomgas, I think this one's worth a shot, and anyway, the pdo is unlocked, so you can do your own editing and/or rearranging as desired. Scott K. |

This is a good site for free smaller SW ships that would work for you I think. StormDragon. Momir Farooq's homepage Look under starship battles on the left and then starship battles Expansions. Let me know if they are suitible. Did anyone find a good quality CR90 Blockade Runner? |

I have a PDF of one. It's not very big, but it is the ship. PM me if you're interested.

Ha, I was just viewing the AWESOME gallery we have here at this site.
Look what I found. CR-90 Blockade Runner - Paper Modelers Gallery Funny, how I go and search the internet and can't find her any where, and BLAMO, when I am not looking there she is. Sadly it is from a Defunct Starwars site. |

Also known as the Tantive IV, which a studio scale model was built here: Tantive IV - Studio scale - a set on Flickr and discussed here: Studio scale Tantive IV by the same guy. Hope that the details will help.
