1:4000 Battlestar Galactica

[scyeige]

Hi, I've printed out Gearz's Battlestar Galactica template at 66.9% to get 1:4000 scale (original template is 1:2676 scale).

Anyway, managed to fit 2 pages into 1 page A4 size print out.
When scaling, I noticed the pages were set to US Letter size... in any case, I resized and rescaled it (see pic)...

When I have clear coated it, I'll start the build...

Watch this space!

OK, initial thoughts -> seems easy enough... BUT NO, the side walls and top flap are kinda fiddly!!!

DID NOT like the way it turned out; but since it's my first attempt at this model, I reckon it's not too bad.

If I were to build another Battlestar, I would, however, change the steps (at least for myself) and make the joining of the side walls and top easier.

Anyhoo... as they say, a pic is worth a thousand words

On the home stretch now... once the sticky stuff has dried, I'll post pics of the finished model.

A small model, a great modeller. It is admirable, fit a model reducing it in size shows your great skill

Thanks chapuzas100, coming from you that is a great compliment!
But the model is not that small... See the final pics below.
