Scythe

[OcOj]

Hey there,
As a big fan of doing papermodels and addicted player of the Warhammer 40k, I am trying to rebuild the Necron Scythe, which was made by MalikDrako.

I am going to post every step I am going to do and probably will need help from you from time to time, due to my inexperience in the paperworld. I have just built 3 Stormraven Gunships and one Landraider Crussader (both from Potoroch)

Now I am waiting for the files.
Cheers and stay tuned,
OcOj

So I have started with the papermodel and the first 6 pages are/will be easy to handle.
Still few problems occurred due to the fact that the card board should have a thickness of 1mm. I am always using card board from cereal boxes, so I had to glue to together to get 1.12mm. The problem is that it is not easy to cut (or as easy as it would be with just one layer) So I will see how I handle it in further steps.
Here are some pics:

First glueing three party pof the main body, without wasting to much card board


The complete main body with small holes for the skewness-part of the wings:


Fits perfect with the holes without adjustments:


Here is what I am troubling with: The parts are (due to my unclean cutting) not fitting perfectly. Do you know if there is something that I can put on it, so that it will look nicer?


The directions and the PDF are so far perfect and easy to understand. I will probably have trouble with the weapons and the tail and need further instructions for it.
So long,
OcOj

Never tried this but maybe sand all the areas down so its smooth and paint it?

On mine, I used sandpaper and a file to get them even, then glued the edge to strengthen it and ensure it doesnt separate

Is this model available or are you doing a testbuild? I found the original thread but no mention of where to get the kit. I'm not familiar with Warhammer 40K, but this is a very cool ship and build.

It is a test build. The model will be released once this build is finished and I finish the instructions + any modifications from this build.

Any news on this?
