I´ve started working on the http://forum.alienslegacy.com/images/smilies/icon_delta.gif USS SULACO papercraft.
I don´t want to boring you with the details, because the whole project started on the zealot

USS Sulaco / Aliens - Zealot Hobby Forum (http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164963)

simple papercraft pics are situated here:

sulaco pictures by tv1rj070 - Photobucket (http://s274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/)

The whole model will be 1.7 m long and will be ready for download as the papercraft next year..i hope

so..enjoy watching http://forum.alienslegacy.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif .....Jan Alien99 Rükr
----------------------------
I´ve heard lots about Zealot weird practics:eek:, so the thread is situated here...In the place with freedom and lots of papermodels friends and modellers.:)...Ihope that there will be time for updating this thread....I have lots of things to do...Sulaco specially :p
So..keep posting :D

[ThunderChild]

Glad you made it over here, I've been following your Sulaco thread "over there".
Its a simply astounding model!

[Stev0]

Welcome Jan.

Just build it and we will come. =)

[eibwarrior]

Thanks for coming on over to papermodelers.com Jan. I'm a big fan of your work and have been following your progress on Sulaco.

Outstanding!

[NYC Irishman]

wooo hoo Jan made it too

Welcome Jan its great to see your amazing work

John John

[lehcyfer]

I'm simply amazed with your Sulaco work.

I have one question. Is it possible that you publish the model "on the go" - issued in installments like a serial? At this point it seems that you are ready to issue the front. No instruction - the pictures from your thread will suffice.

The reasen in manifold, but it boils down to one thing
- "I want to start building it now!!!" :D:D:D:D:D,
followed by
- "The cost of printing will be divided in part payments - easing on our budget" :)
and after that:
- "As the installments will be affordable, the world will be populated by hundreds of maniacs putting the thing together because everyone will want to make it too." :P

And the xxx'th argument:

"Please, will you do it for the lowly admirer of your genius work?" ;)

[Millenniumfalsehood]

I believe Jan wants to fully build the model before releasing any of it to make sure it all goes together right.

[alien99]

Millenniumfalsehood has right. Iwant to build the whole model and after that it will be released;)

I don´t want to be pushed into progress...:(

anyway...here are some pics...

right side one more time in morning sun..:D

lots of work is infront of me :cool:

[Sushibones]

....zombie jeebus on a pogostick, that's PAPER?

[SJPONeill]

Impressive and great to see that progress is ongoing...with Ken's XB-70 design almost complete I'm happy for this monster to wait a while before being released...will have to have the continuous ink supply system installed before even thinking about printing it out....

[lehcyfer]

I can see that the front part has come together right :D

Anyway, it was only a delicate pleading on my side, and it's completely up to you - no pressure of any kind, only my sweating hands :)

Keep up the genius work !

[Stev0]

Jan ... how was your initial build received when you put it on display? You had mentioned that you were bringing it to a convention.

[airdave]

This is in no way an insult to your build...
but that looks like a very easy build.

Other than the fact that it looks huge...has a very large number of parts...is fantastically detailed and textured and coloured...

it looks like a very simple and straightforward construction!!!
Kudos for building such an impressive model!

if I had the room for such a model, I would love to give it a try!!

[Millenniumfalsehood]

I think this model will be straightforward, but darn time consuming! Look at the antennas and tell me this won't occupy a good 3-4 months of construction time.

This is one of those models that would look good on top of an entertainment center.

[Fargo]

simply brilliant... I'm speechless... one of my favourite ships of all time... I'm moved, really! keep up the good work!

[Zathros]

It's like looking at one of those guys jumping 100 feet into the air on a motorcycle and saying, "I can do that", Why is it the well executed stuff always looks so easy? Fantastic work.

[Simmo]

Ah...I'm glad to see this over here. I have no reason to go back to Z now....evar. PM is complete.

[SEBRET]

This is going to be so much fun to build. Such a well thought out model.

[Millenniumfalsehood]

Noticed at Z***** that the sci-fi section is completely gone now. Nice that all the builds I care about are over here. :cool:

[cdwheatley]

I think you'll find that it's still there actually.

[ThunderChild]

Yup, still there...

[alien99]

Jan ... how was your initial build received when you put it on display? You had mentioned that you were bringing it to a convention.

I was.. The sulaco was displayed in wooded display case...the whole action was really well done, but we are small country and we have few aliens fans only...visit rate was weak....:(

and one really nice model from CRAP spain movie NEXUS (1993)where czech modellers maked the models of spacecrafts..really nice design

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/fesival%20fantazie2009/P1090508.jpg

Sulaco was lightely damaged due to transportation, so the next and final place will be in my living room....hmmm ok I will take "her" to my ALIENSPAPERCRAFT CUP 2010 for last display...If u want to see her in real , you have a chance next year in Brno (Luzanky area)Czech republic
20-21.2.2010....(and there will be some bonus maybe;))...see u there

[Stev0]

Wow ... great displays!!!

I hope the damage wasn't too severe to the Sulaco's front end. I have noticed that you have finished two other projects it seems.



The Renovatio Boat
Pistol from Ultraviolet


...again, I'm always impressed with what you can do with paper/card.

[matineematt7]

Impressive!! I'm truly awaiting the full release of this one. I plan to start work on the Endorifle soon, and i'm still hoping to see the release of the Terminator Endoskeleton as well. There is, however, one build that I hope to see the most in the near future as far as the Alien Universe is concerned. I refer of course to...

THE ALIEN ITSELF!!!

Actually, there are two versions of the Alien I hope to build eventualy, the original creature from the original film, and the Queen from Aliens. The Queen would probably be the most detailed of the two. I look forward to the challenge of building these two models if and when they are released.

[Rhaven Blaack]

I am quite impressed by your work. You are doing a great job.

[kjev]

Alien99, what is the ship in the final picture of your post? I've never seen it before.

K'Jev
:cool:

[alien99]

It´s a movie prop from real movie modeler. But the movie itself was real crap.
The czech side was involved into this project as decor (prop) section and there was some our actors...but the spain directing was really bad.:mad:

Nexus 2.431 (1994) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107677/#comment)

....more pictures of the model can be found in czech thread there are more pictures from the last event..

Papírové modeláøství CZ :: Zobrazit téma - Festival Fantazie Chotìboø 2009 (http://www.papirovemodelarstvi.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6005)

[Millenniumfalsehood]

Nice T. Rex! Is it yours? There's a resin kit out there, but I'd much prefer a paper one.

[alien99]

that T-Rex is TATA´s build;).

[Rawen]

Už několik let sleduju tvojí tvorbu ale stále mě nějak nenapadlo co na to říct abych neopakoval všechny ty výkřiky úžasu a nadšení. Celkově strašná brutalita a nebál bych se říci že to nejlepší mezi scifi modely z papíru co je na netu k vidění.

[cdwheatley]

Pardon?! :D

[Rawen]

I dont know how to say it in english:-) Its nothing secret - some words about perfect work of Alien99. He is from czech republic, like me.

[Stev0]

We enjoy ''Czechs-pertise'' in cardmodel design.

... a play on Expertise. ;)

[alien99]

Well... it looks like multilingual thread here. :D

I have no news now , because we are reconstructing out home..the hallway especialy.:mad: Lots of mess everywhere etc...
So the major thing I can do is unfolding other groups of sulaco parts...so there is always some job to do...;)

Rawen: Co říct ..díky moc ;)

[Stev0]

So what your saying is your working on a 1:1 project right now. :)

[alien99]

(*not out but our:D...in previous post)
___________________________________
That´s right Stev0...this is a 1:1 project.:rolleyes:
I am painting the walls and tomorrow some guys will change the floor cover.:cool:

I hope that , this week will be the last break in my SULACO building:mad:

[nothing]

i am so glad to be able to follow this here! stunning work as usual. great displayes.

[sherban]

Hello Alien99!
Are there any paper model of the ships from Nexus on the czech paper models forums?
I am aware of some plastic models issued by Smer (I have two of them even if I did not watch the film because i did not kew much about it and one of them is very much alike one you put some pictures)

[COURSAN]

I am to impress by quality of the models,beautiful work!! :eek:

[the hermit]

any updates?

[bigfan321]

Just wait, He's probably adding some kick-arse detail to the sulaco so's he can floor us all with his awesome papercraft abilities

[Stev0]

He said something about having to add on to the house so that this model will fit with all the details.

=p

[alien99]

Sorry guys,:(
Sulaco was holded for one month because of the unfinished flat..the livingroom especially....:mad: there is no place for gluenig such a big model..
I hope that the worker do their job in this week,.,,and then...finally.
Sulaco will be continue:)

[ARMORMAN]

Well....worse case scenario, you could finish the model and move into that ...;)

[lucien]

that's my plan

[nothing]

no worries. we are patiently waiting. hope you get youre flat done:)

[alien99]

I hope that this my design become true in short time:)

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/stna001.jpg
As u can see, there is plenty of space for my papermodels...Uss Sulaco specially.:D

[Marco Scheloske]

we are patiently waiting.

Just speak for yourself - "patiently"... pffft! ;)

[nothing]

hehehe. well as a designer myself i understand what jan is going through.

[Marco Scheloske]

hehehe. well as a designer myself i understand what jan is going through.

Yeah, I understand that too - I made several models for the german SF-novel series "Perry Rhodan" in the last years (just working on another) - and designing paper models with a fixed delivery date is even harder.

I just wanted to say that I have to confess to not be patient regarding this wonderful upcoming model... can`t wait to start it by myself. :D

[bigfan321]

are you going to create a stand for the Sulaco? from the look of that CG mock-up of your entertainment stand, it would seem that all that weight on the bottom control tower-thing would cause the model to deform under so much stress.

[Millenniumfalsehood]

Perhaps he's reinforcing it?

[ARMORMAN]

foolish mortals! He made the bottom section out of paper laced with upsadasium! ;)

[Stev0]

Ahhh the trophy case.

Yes nice, very nice!

[Millenniumfalsehood]

foolish mortals! He made the bottom section out of paper laced with upsadasium! ;)

I thought it'd be made out of unobtanium. Y'know, the stuff that gets harder with pressure and heat. ;)

[samhain]

Anything new?

[Darth Windius]

I hope that this my design become true in short time:)


As u can see, there is plenty of space for my papermodels...Uss Sulaco specially.:D

Errrrg... Two problems Jan:

- I don't see the dropships anr armor vehicles, nor the Hadley Hope's Colony. You have to re-build your living :D:D

- I thing that you have to change your TV. It looks too tiny compared to Sulaco :D:D Or is it also a paper model ?;)

Seriously, you make a fantastic job. Even if I too are not very patient on having the modef buid-able on my desk (just have to add a small-enterprise-sized room for all the giants model comming :D), take your time, life projects are more important than paper modeling (Ouuups, I'll be banned for saying that).

We all know that we will have a fantastic model:)

[Vortex_4200]

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/fesival%20fantazie2009/P1090693.jpg
Awsome work :eek:, wish my wife would let me do that in our living room :D
That black spaceship model, what is that? and is there a download of it somewhere??:confused:

[Mirco]

The photo is from the Fantasy Festival, not from a living room ;) .

That black ship is probably some design experiment of Martin Zhouf. From what I saw live, it doesn't look 100% paper and I've never heard of it being published as a kit. Nice design, though.

[Ing. Spendlik]

The black space ship is a plastic model from sci-fi movie Nexus (very poor quality). You can find more pictures from this Fantasy Festival here (http://papirovemodelarstvi.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6005)

[the hermit]

any updates?

[Darth Windius]

any updates?

Jan is in Paper Model Holidays. Some "real life" projects to finish. He will be back on January...

[Stev0]

I was told that Jan was updating on another forum.

[Darth Windius]

I was told that Jan was updating on another forum.

On "anoZer" forum ???:(:mad:

[Darth Windius]

I was told that Jan was updating on another forum.


THE "other" forum, but only for his "come back" announcement:

USS Sulaco / Aliens - Page 31 - Zealot Hobby Forum (http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164963&page=31)

And he is finished with his living and PC corner.:)

He also have to finish the Sulaco for at latest autumn 2010!!!:eek:

[Stev0]

I don't think we need links to the other forum here, or pics from there.

[Ing. Spendlik]

Jan Rukr is very busy man.
One of the reason why there is no "visible" progress on Sulaco is also an offer from ABC magazine. Jan is working on a few simple models (http://papirovemodelarstvi.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=907&start=30) (top of the page, post from Tomys) for this czech magazine.

Please be patient :)

[Darth Windius]

I don't think we need links to the other forum here, or pics from there.

It was just to gie news from Jan, and Sulaco. Many people here want these news, and not all want to register on ZH.:cool:

If I can help them, I'll do. Maybe without naming "the other" forum - even if I think we have to cease this war -, as Gixerg as done - and is still doing - for Uhu's work knews, whose quite everybody knows that he is posting on ZH (just look at the first page of the PDF).;)

I prefer giving links to the original posts, ad copying more or less stupidly the posts from "there" to here.

Except if Administrator or Moderator say anything (I wish to have these advices), and of the discussion.:cool:

Of course I will. Jan has already said that he will go again with Sulaco on January, so it's only a few little weeks to wait, and seeing the quality (and the size!!!!) of the beast, it's worth the time waiting...;):)

[SEBRET]

Truly! This thing is gonna be a monster!

[alien99]

Hi guys,
after four long months of no responding I´m back :D.
As Ing. Spedlik told, there ale lots of comercial projets that takes some time.:(

BUT, the USS SULACO must be finished.:cool:..the deadline is October 2010.
So...here is some progress:
___________________________
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/progress102.jpg

This is the "core structure" or heart of the sulaco. It´s a main building stone of the middle section of the ship. U can see places where the side cannons will be glued. There will be the dropship bay in the bottom of this structure...:rolleyes:

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/progress103.jpg

those parts u allready know :D

more soon....I hope:o

[NYC Irishman]

Welcome back Jan we missed you

[Stev0]

Yeah no kidding. Good to see your back doing what you enjoy. :)

[Goncalo Mendes]

Nice to see an update!!!

Many thanks!

G_Mendes

[Darth Windius]

Nice to see you back. I suppose that the "home projects" are OK, and I hope you'll have an Happy New Year 2010!!!!:)

I am tuned again....:cool:

[Tirick]

Awesome, Jan, its great to see progress on this monster build!

Thank you,

Not true. Checked yesterday and today. Posts with links to papermodelers (and any other remotely relevant site) are not blocked, nuked or whathaveyou and have not been since shortly after ekuth took over as admin. :)

But I feel very good here....

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :)

My sincerest apologies, Ekuth. I admit, I tried it at the tail end of the "civil war," and haven't tried it since.

I also apologize for misinforming everyone else.

And thank you for making it work again!

[alien99]

Now back to the model :)

I have more cubes here;)

Awsome and GREAT model!!! Thanks Jan...:)

Truly spectacular!
That cannon could be released as a model on it's own!

[raiderkilo]

Problem find place for models

[kjev]

Problem find place for models

Ummm.... I think something got lost in the translation my friend. Do you mean you can't find where Jan hosts his models or you can't find a place to host your own for others to download?

[Wulf111]

Ummm.... I think something got lost in the translation my friend. Do you mean you can't find where Jan hosts his models or you can't find a place to host your own for others to download?

i think he might mean finding a place to display his models after they are done? especially one of the scale of the Sulaco that Jan is building.

[Vortex_4200]

I would have to agree with wulf on that... you have to admit that is one monster of a model, I'm already picking spots to put mine. :D:D:D

[Blackronin]

No place to put the Sulaco?!... Ah let me see...


mmmmm...

My house?!... :rolleyes:

[Zathros]

I also will take any finished Sulaco models that members do not have room for.:D

[Blackronin]

Zathros. I have cue nº 1, sorry. But you are next. :) :)

[Tars]

I didn't want to put into the sci-fi category, but I thought I'd let you know about it: http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/pasa-paper-aeronautical-space-administration/7315-mini-space-shuttle.html
I built a space shuttle in "sulaco scale", 1/430 that is. Turns out rather small and fits nicely into my dropship series!! :D

[alien99]

hi there,
Long time I didn´t reply....:D

Because there is lots of work to do instead of Sulaco, but don´t worry It still have priority No.1...The side cannons are boring me, so I´ve started the Top railgun - probably most difficult piece of the Sulaco....

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/progress116.jpg

Thank you for the new pictures!:)

You got damn right :D . . I need a vacation right now..:p
It´s really hard to complete this beast :cool:

Awesome!! I hope that dropship pilot realises that isn't the landing pad before someone lights off the engines...

[gomidefilho]

Wow!!! Amazing Jan...

and...front view....the place where the reactor and cooling will be glued...someday:rolleyes:

[NYC Irishman]

I cannot believe it is legal to look this good

Well done

John John

[scarmig]

yeah, my wife has already said I am building this for her as soon as it is complete. Fantastic work.

[Vortex_4200]

um... how long is this thing going to be when its done???
I mean size not time wise.

[jeanma]

i have ever done the mini dropship 1/2 scale, i will do the same thing for the Sullaco... :D
... if i show that to my wife, i will finish in the garage with all my models :)

[airdave]

Thought you guys might enjoy this, Sulaco being part of the main storyline.

[DesignR]

Sorry, I may have missed it but will this be available as a PDF?

[hawkman67]

Jan Holy smokey Batman!!! that is just Awsome!!! I really can't wait til she is done and ready for us to build.....DR, I am sure once it is completed, like all the rest of his models on his site.
Jeff

[alien99]

Here i am with few new parts. Everything around me take my time for sulaco away (u know - family, friends, home etc...)

anyway...here are some new things about the reactor section and cooling tower.today I´ve added some support structures around.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/progress136.jpg

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/progress141.jpg
and here is the whole thing how it will be look together with the rest of the engine section...looks fine

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/tv1rj070/sulaco/progress142.jpg

the format for the sulaco will be pfd container with the pixel images. Like the tiny (1:430) dropship released year ago.

Sad thing is about my web pages...the upload of new informatios or models has low priority for me. But who knows...there will be some new model in bonus section in the autumn

[alien99]

and overall view :D

wowness...

[Tirick]

That is one serious monster-ship, Jan. It looks nearly complete too! Brilliant work, absolutely stunning!

[The Orange]

Holy jeebus...



*Losing conscience...



*Five hours later....


Incredible build and design Jan! The detail and the everything is just...

*Head explodes, unable to continue typing...

[Davitch]

Must say it is coming together nicely!

[Squirrel]

man... i am not going to be able to afford this...

[rickstef]

man... i am not going to be able to afford this...

Psst, the kit will be free

[Squirrel]

FREE!? that's... well, that's generous, to say the least.

i am happy now.

[gomidefilho]

Awesome!!!! Is a beautiful build!!!!

[rbeach84]

Such work really makes me want to learn how to design...

Great job on this, A99!:eek:

[ltla9000311]

Technically we still won't be able to afford this...........the cost of printer cartridges is awful!

Is that going to stop me from building this beauty?

Uhhhh.......NO!

Thanks Jan for soldiering on with this amazing model.:)

[scarmig]

I'm trying to find some kind of reference on any lights this thing has. Not much need for them in deep space, but I seem to remember some lights on the outside. I guess I'll have to subject the kids to a screening in order to refresh my memory.

[Millenniumfalsehood]

IIRC, all the antennas on the front have anti-collision lights on them, but I can't remember any others.

[alien99]

Finally...I´ve gued together the top railgun - probably the hardest part of the sulaco :-P

[Vortex_4200]

Awsome work!!!!

[fruiz]

Wow :eek:

Excellent work, when you publish on your page my friend, to build the model that is very good and detailed.

Congratulations

[Paperbeam]

Groundbreaking design work here, Jan!

The textures and the parts fit look super-realistic - I'm sure others would agree that it

looks fully suitable for a film production model!

Terry

[Millenniumfalsehood]

looks fully suitable for a film production model!

It would be, till the halogen stage lights cause the paper to burst into flames. :D

[gamera]

Epic creation.

[alien99]

Hi everybody ;)

thats all :D

[bigfan321]

Holy crap! nice work, jan. Do you also plan on releasing a "crashed" version in the original scale of your EEV?

[scarmig]

Awesome! Now.... to-scale queen alien and Ripley in Cargo_lifter! Ahahahhaha!

[NYC Irishman]

Amazing piece of work

and

IIRC, all the antennas on the front have anti-collision lights on them, but I can't remember any others.

For this theme I can say only this: You can make an Alien3 version of SULACO or the PATNA carrier. The model has some ligths in the end of the antennas and some landing lights like Nostromo. It´s a pity that the lights decored model is only in two shots....:mad:

[bf109]

PLease just tease us..

How many pages total?

and catridges :)

[nothing]

cant wait!!

[alien99]

must place this discussion on the right light. so.....

there is sulaco (http://www.sulaco.cz) website. ...correct
there is countdown, which is ending in cristmas eve....correct
that´s all official known things:)

The countdown leads to start of the sulaco (http://www.sulaco.cz) website.
There will be only FEW PARTS of the Sulaco model available for download for now. Reason is simple, U.S.S.Sulaco papermodel isn´t finished yet.
Lots of modelars are horny;) for this ship, thats why I´ve deciced to start separate website (instead of Alienspapercraft) to publish this unfinished project now.:cool:

I´ll try to update this website with new parts of sulaco every 14 days regularly.;)
must finish my sulaco first...:)....then all necessary parts will be publised...so stay tuned whole next year 2011.....IT´S A HUGE PROJECT:eek:

[NYC Irishman]

You are my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John

[Tapcho]

May I joint the fanclub too!

[Stev0]

IT´S A HUGE PROJECT:eek:

That is an understatement.

[Greg R.]

Man, I really hate slackers! ;)

I just joined up and thought I,d cruise in here to see what all the hub bub was about...

OMG!! :eek:

That's truly has to be one of the most incredible/coolest things I've ever seen! I,m still trying to wrap my head around the size and scope of this undertaking.

Un-freakin-believable

[jeanma]

jan,
your model of alien starship is the first paper model i did few years ago.
It's impossible for me to not build the Sulaco.
but i will make it in alf size (i ever did the starship in this size :p) and probably use led and many open part or details.
... but i will wait the end of your project first.
thank you for all your models :)

[alien99]

Ladies and gentlemen,
the U.S.S.SULACO website is OPEN....:cool:

i can stop to wait now!! AND A VERYY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO

[piginapoke]

incredible. i love the addition of the other vehicles

[Rubenandres77]

Thank you very much!

The site has a great design. And the model is really wonderful.
Every detail adds a lot to the beauty of your work.

[Stev0]

Nice website Jan. =O

How's your place doing? You were working on a home project as well?

[alien99]

the place is ready....everything is ready, but the model.:rolleyes:

[silveroxide]

Cool site Jan. Fantastic job on the Sulaco. It has enough details to entice a great build, but it also has the potential for more enhanced details as well. You lured me in with the Cheyenne and I am still working on that project. If I start on the Sulaco, I may spend more time building it than you did in designing it. Thanks for all of your efforts in designing this modeling project. I do not know when I will get around to building it but I need a break from the Drop Ship first. See you around the forums.

[Zathros]

Super. Brilliant and anxiously awaited!

[alien99]

Finally ...I´ve completed the antenna array left -less known- side.;)

Just to advise, Section 5 is available for download, What a piece of art....

Thanks Jan

Regards
John

[Zathros]

So far I have section "sulaco3_-_02", and Sulaco3_-_05" . I believe either I am missing sections or have not figured out how it's being released. Are sections referring to the ship sections being released, so in fact I am caught up? Or is it something else? Thanks.

[NYC Irishman]

Its just the order he is releasing them....

I dont think you have missed anything?

John

[Marco Scheloske]

Meanwhile I should be familiar to the look of this wonderful model (at least because I started to build it on my own), but I'm amazed everytime again!

[NYC Irishman]

Thanks again Jan, I finally got access to a good printer so I will kick-off Assembly of mine this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NYC Irishman]

Just finished my 1st section of this delight!!
Thanks Jan

[southwestforests]

The whole model will be 1.7 m long
Whoa! That's not for the faint of heart.

[Dented Rick]

I just went to the Sulaco.cz site, and it says access forbidden. Is the site closed down? What happened?

[NYC Irishman]

its back up and a new section available for download...

John John..

Hey 1.7m??? Oh dear, Im in real trouble....

[Dented Rick]

Yet already?!?

Wow...

[Mixx]

Oh my stars.....I was wondering how this project was going

I can safely say this one is beyond my skill sets

[SJPONeill]

Group 09 has been released...Spodní skladištì / Bottom depot (http://sulaco.cz/skupina__group_09.html)

[Zathros]

The first .pdf of Group 8 came up as an invalid URL. I don't know if that was intentional or I missed something. I have been trying to keep up. Anyone know?

[Dented Rick]

The first .pdf of Group 8 came up as an invalid URL. I don't know if that was intentional or I missed something. I have been trying to keep up. Anyone know?

Ive been downloading them as they become available, 8 isn't working right now, but I already got 8 in all three versions

[NYC Irishman]

I am kind of regretting printing this baby out using an A3+ printer...it scaled it to 154% on a 13" x 19" sheet...

But I am loving it otherise, Excellent kit Jan
Thanks
John

[NYC Irishman]

Section 3 is up and available, An imense amount of work on Jans behalf, Thanks and well done to you Jan.

This seems to complete the 1st 1/3rd section of the ship to now be available. I am loving this project!!!

John

[Dented Rick]

Did he change the delay between downloads to a month? it used to be every 14 days. why the change?

[SJPONeill]

No change, you must have missed the one at the end of March

[Dented Rick]

No change, you must have missed the one at the end of March

I got the one at the end of March. I was refering to the fact that the countdown clock right now is at 3 weeks, 4 days, and so-so hours. it used to count down from 2 weeks, but has been counting down from a month now.

I was just curious

[SJPONeill]

In the past, real life has intruded on Jan's work...possibly OC Home Command has insisted on a bit of quid pro quo around the house now that spring is hitting the Northern Hemisphere or maybe he's simply off on holiday...if anything it may be a respite for those who need to play catch up in their Colonial fleet building programmes...

Cool. Although im itching to get all the pieces so I can build this wonderful ship, I never let hobbies intrude upon real life. Thanks. like I said, I was curious. :)

[red-5]

Jan. very impressed. cannot wait for complete files.
you are an awesome engineer.
estimated date on the rest of files?

[SJPONeill]

Jan. very impressed. cannot wait for complete files.
you are an awesome engineer.
estimated date on the rest of files?

The plan is that they will all be released by the end of the year...real life notwithstanding (as it has this month), Jan hopes to maintain a fortnightly release schedule...which probably paces those who are building one of the three Sulaco-class versions he has available...

[Dented Rick]

Group 13 has been released. (theres a numbering issue, so group 12 is on hold, so to speak)

Jádro / The core (http://www.sulaco.cz/skupina__group_13.html)

Very impressive. Such good detail.

I have worked up a review of Jan's english translation on his latest page - now just need to know if he wants it and how to get it to him (text file format.)

Thanks!

[spaceagent-9]

looks great!
jim

[Zathros]

I had these files spread out over 3 computers. Good thing they are all still available. This will be (is) a legend in Paper Model history.

[Vortex_4200]

This will be (is) a legend in Paper Model history.
There is only ONE model that could out do this and I have yet to see it done and that would be the Cygnus from the movie The Black Hole.
I have entertained the idea some time back.... but the superstructure alone :eek::eek::eek:

[Dented Rick]

Group 19 is available for download now :)

[Dented Rick]

Anyone know whats up with the latest download? Everything alright with Jan?

[SJPONeill]

He says on the site that his PC has died and he doesn't have the ready cash for a replacement at the moment.

[Dented Rick]

I couldn't find anything about it on his site....but im sure I just wasn't looking in the right place. Glad to know he's ok, and its just a technical error.

Thanks

[SJPONeill]

It was buried away in the site and I only found it by accidentally while having a browse around to see what else was there...hopefully only a short-term problem for Jan...

[Dented Rick]

Yeah, I hope its only Short term. Im REALLY looking forward to building this spectactular Ship :)

[duditz72]

OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! Great another model that I must build :) I can here the printer starting up. This will be a great interlude between other models. It's great that it is released in small "bite" size sections that you can do between other projects. Not that it matters but does anyone know why it skips from section#13 to#19 are the sections in between to be released later? Like I said not that it matters just curious.

[Dented Rick]

Does anyone have an update on the site? anyone know if he got his computer working Yet? any way we can help?

[Falwin]

Jan, You have been doing miracles for us, so its just fair that we do one for You!
What and/or how much do You need?

Robert

[duditz72]

Went to kinkos and printed my first section. Out of order though I only had enough money to print one page so I started with the top rail gun. I need to finish the suspension on my king tiger first then I'll do the rail gun and post some pics in a few weeks. Thank you so much Jan for making this available to us sic-fi nerds. Alien is still the best horror sic-fi fi of all time!!!! :)

[gamera]

And thank you sir!

[DEATH ANGELS]

Group 09 has been released...Spodní skladištì / Bottom depot (http://sulaco.cz/skupina__group_09.html)

[Neptune]

Agreed, that's some awesome graphics works. I really need to build this model.

[Vermin_King]

I don't know what I would ever do with it if I built it, but it sure screams out 'Build me!'.

I truly admire the work that has gone into this, and the level at which it is being done.

[rewalston]

I have the same problem as Vermin_King has...but it will definitely be built. I'm collecting all of the parts and once it's all collected THEN I will build it. No idea yet where it will go but go it will :).

Rusty

[eagleclaw4935]

Havnt had the time to build this beast yet.But it is on my too do list.

[enigma]

if i print this model at 140%

does any one have a idea what scale this would be from the original.

i am quite bad with math..
thanks


enigma

[alien99]

if you think about priniting into the A3 format, then,,,it will be somewhere 1:320.

[rbeach84]

!:320 scale! Then it could be parked next to a Enterprise (spaceship? or aircraft carrier?) in 1:350 scale - crazy cool!

[Neptune]

This would fit nicely in my Man-Cave!

[alien99]

FINALLY, after 4 painfull years the U.S.S.SULACO papercraft in 1:430 scale is finished. The project is closing....Final parts has been released 8)

Thanks so very much for staying with the project until completion. I have been following for the past two years or so. Will I build it? I like to think that I will attempt it someday. Time will tell. Again, Thank You.

Jan:

Many thanks for the great amount of work you put into this model and for making it available to the paper modelling community.

May you have a very Merry Christmas with all the blessings and a very Happy New Year.

If there is ever been a man who could lead a community it was YOU!
You got us passing by 21-12-2012 with the Gift of this Spaceship! :)

It was certainly worth the long thread and gave this group of people a goal, an aiming-point, a dot on the horizon.
And now it's up to them to give you the finest moments: many builds of this Beast!:cool:

Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas and a Happy Newyear.
See you in the future.
