(TOS) CYLON RAIDER (designed by murphyaa)
Hello Ladies and gentlemen,
I remember I had posted an inquiry about the Cylon Raider designed by @murphyaa a while ago. Since no one else has given it a go, I have decided to try my hand at it When I first printed the templates, I noticed that all of the parts were crammed tightly in the upper left hand and against the left edge of the paper. Therefore, losing some of the parts (or pieces of parts). So, I extracted the parts from the .pdf files into .png files, and centered everything. Here are the new parts sheets.  With page 5, I had to re-arrange the parts and even put some on another page.  Starting with the internal formers. I laminated the parts (1-5) to about one millimeter.    Moving on the skins now.  I attached the formers to the bottom (center) skin.  Bottom outer skin.  Bottom outer skins are attached.   Please stay tuned to your local Colonial Broadcast Network for further updates as they come in.

It will be nice to see a build of this kit. I wanted to do a re-draw/re-paint, but want to see some build photos.
Your doing a great job. Keep going. Gary

On to the top skins now.
Here are the side walls for the main body. I laminated them to about one millimeter.  The side walls are attached.   I attached strips along the front and rear edges, so that I can attach the top skins.  Here are the top skins.  So, I have encountered a bit of a problem. The top skins are too long (about a centimeter).    Since I had extracted these files from .pdf to .png, I am wondering if that may have distorted the parts. So, I am going to take a bit of a break for awhile, then I will see if I can adjust the print settings on the original template, so that I can print the parts (as-is). I might end up printing this at a smaller scale.

It still looks pretty nice to me. It's coming along great.

Since I have ran into this problem, I have reprinted everything (from the original templates) at 95% (so that I do not lose anything). I am going to start the build over (but continue on with this thread).

SO, just a quick note to all. I was able to print everything directly from the original .pfd at 100% (without borders).
Once I catch up to the point where I found the issue, I will continue posting my report on this model.

I'm actually in the middle of redrawing this one. The original model was hand drawn a few thousand years ago, then scanned into Microsoft Paint on a Windows Me computer. Once I get it done (I want to add some layering on the underside) I can send it to you.
