Bad news
As You can see in the following picture, I put the paper machè directly on a cardboard disk, but the dryng process is different from center to the edge.
Thereafter the disk bent itself irremediably. :( Now i covered a new disk with a plastic and aliminum sheet and i put a new cover of paper machè on it. I know that when we procede using a trial&error process, we waste time&money, but we gain invaluable experience. Best regards, Nando :o

Moonscape done
The second trial was worst then the first, therefore I went back to the first and I flattened it. The result is acceptable for me, so i glued it on the base.
Now I have to get dirty my astronaut and I am nervous ...

Nando,
Wonderful project. Just go extremely slowly with the lunar dust. You'll do great. |

help needed
Hi. I'm new to the hobby and I am buliding the 1/48 LEM. I would also like to scale down to 1/48 the astronaut to go with the LEM. Could you please help? Thank you

With the pages scanned You can resize them, reducing them at 1/3rd. Be aware do not to share the scanned images for do not violate the copyright. Otherwise, if You have a printer that give You the possibility to scale down the output, you have simply to print at 33%. I hope this could help You. Nando

Nando, A nice result! The astronaut and the base look really good.
A tip for the base: If you would have made the base paper disc wet in advance, it might not have curved as much as it did. It looks like it is made of beermat-like paper and that's very absorbent. The papier-maché is wet and its humidity gets sucked into the rest of the paper. That causes the whole to dry irregulrarly. Now, when you keep the outsides wet, the thing might have dried a bit more evenly. An other idea you could use is to make the papier-maché underground a bit bigger and on a flat, non-sticky surface. Like a mirror or something like that. When it has dried, you cut it out to its specific shape and glue it to your base for strength. People who make aquarel paintings (Watercolour) do something to stretch their paper to prevent wobblyness. They first make the paper they are going to work on completely wet, so it expands. Then put it on a straight, flat background. They use a paper sticky tape, much like the lick-strips on an envelope, to glue the paper in position. When it dries it has been stretched. When they start painting, the paper won't wobble. Just some tips. @ Lillorizzo: Be aware that when you scale the astronaut down to 33%, most parts are unbelievable tiny and very hard to cut out, fold and glue. When you, as you say, are new to the hobby, you have chosen two very hard subjects to start with. The LM is a elaborate piece of work, (especially U-Don's one). The astronaut is a very cool piece of work, but to scale it down that far, even though I myself like working in the almost nanoscales, looks like a very big challenge. However, I wish you good luck with the build! Show us the results! |

Awesome result, Nando...can't wait to see how you dirty up the suit...be brave, your trial run earlier really looked superb!
Cheers! Jim |

Jim, be patient with me. I'm still fighting with the base. Now I glued the paper machè on the wooden base but it doesn't want to stay flat ....
