Thanks for the heads up!
Been following his build. Is an impressive model.
I'm very interested on it.

Downloaded.

24 files. Each file is a separate page.
Page #24 must be printed on the back on some of the pages.

In total 590Mb !

All with the usual clean vector graphics that UHU makes so well.

An incredibly detailed model. Very nice indeed.

UHU says it is 1:500, but I will probably up-scale it to 1:400 to make it match my Titanic and a robot I have at that scale.


Thanks a lot UHU! It is a very beautiful kit.

Most probably due to the complexity of the artwork, and the very heavy detail he puts on every part. The vector graphics he uses are over the top.

Once I opened a page of his X-Wing in Corel, and found that one single part on the engines had (literally) thousands of vector objects, textures and shadows. I have no doubt this is just the same. Even the rivets are represented in great detail.

The downside of this, is that some slow computers with little ram will probably have trouble opening and printing pages that heavy.

To save some time and bandwidth in downloading, replace (i.e. copy the link address and paste it into the address bar, then edit it) the links on his site with the following:

NOTE: added spaces to prevent linking directly, so remove the spaces if you do this

https:// docs . google . com/uc?id=<id>&export=download

where <id> is copied from the original link address, e.g. for page 1:

https:// drive . google . com/file/d/0B604qx8E9d_jd2tNMVpUdlZoeUk/view?usp=sharing

becomes

https:// docs . google . com/uc?id=0B604qx8E9d_jd2tNMVpUdlZoeUk&export=download

The original links load the google drive PDF viewer, which, for files of this size, will run quite slowly, and you'll essentially end up downloading the entire file twice. Switching the url as above allows you to download it directly to your drive once, and then use whatever PDF viewer you prefer.

Magnificent work from uhu02. Congratulations!

My computer:
- Windows 10 Pro 64-bit;
- Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz;
- 8,00GB DDR3 Ram @ 668 MHz;
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650.

"Acrobat Reader DC"; it works with difficulty.
"PDF-XChange viever"; It has problems to open large files.
"Foxit Reader"; is the one that handles better, almost normal.

Orazio.

I downloaded the 1st two pages and a couple of assembly files. Decided as an amazing and beautiful model it is, that its not my thing and would probably never finish it, if I even started. Hope to see some people give it a try.
