Romulan Warbird from ST-TOS
It's been a while since I last touched Metaseq, Pepakura and Inkscape.
But fortunately, I was able to convince myself to start anew. This time around, I chose to do a star trek model. I've always been fond of the Romulans. Originally, I wasn't sure I'd see this attempt to the end. As such, I wasn't able to take the usual screenshot logs of the design process. So I can only show the finished design: For texturing, I used the ever reliable Inkscape. I based the textures from the 3-views that I got from this site. And as always, I used Pepakura to unfold: Once unfolded, I proceeded with the build: Anyway, I hope I can keep the momentum this time around, and bring back to life the other unfinished designs that I've left in limbo. |

I was looking through your work on blogspot and am really impressed by your Luft46 work. That period and the "mid century" jet / space designs are unique. Their combination of imagination and naivete always catch my attention.
Thank you for bringing them to us. P-lite |

Thanks for the kind comments!
I shall be making this available on the downloads section as soon as I finish annotating the diagrams and making a simple set of instructions. In any case, what's the usual scale for star ship models? Currently, I'm using 1:400. I based my measurements from the 3-views provided here: https://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcar...rd-of-prey.php :D oh... and I realized that I incorrectly called this a warbird, when I should have called it a Bird of Prey. |

Looking forward to it!
FYI: Roddenberry denoted Warbirds as the large vessels that he used in the Next Gen series. As new writers and producers took over, the term was somewhat generalized.
