Mirco's Detailed Shuttle - Firefly Universe

my first paper model, people. here's the original thread with schematics and instructions - Firefly + Shuttle.

definitely nothing to be proud of build-wise - guess more of a 'i made it, let me into the club' sort of thing

the model is very nice - very clever. i had some difficulties but surely due to my lack of experience not poor design. i'll admit i didnt build the entire cockpit interior, just the dashboard - since everything else wasn't great investing time in this seemed pointless.

few pics:

That's diving into the deep end of the pool, getting started with that one. I haven't done it, but now I might.

Excellent first effort.

That's a great first cardmodel! Don't look at ant time spent as a waste, because each model is a learning experience. Keep up the good work

Oh, I built this model recently, and it was challenging, so you didn't start with a simple one at all.

It warms hy heart to see new people sign up and build the same ship I'm building and at the very same time at that.... You'll have to check out my thread. I'm doing quite a bit of work on three of the main Serenity models.

I find myself coming back to look at this one. I think it is going to have to go into my ever-deepening To Do stack.

wow, guys, thanks so much! indeed i spent a lot of time, maybe 2 weeks all in all - but i loved the process. so i'm very much looking forward for the completion of Serenity itself.

again - very cool that you are all so supportive and encouraging!
