Hi teamsters, thought you might like a glimpse at my hybrid modelling...ie
paper to plastic...
With the help of Thunderchilds excellent Gunstar kit I am now 70% finished on my plastic version... here's a glimpse hope you like. A lot more pic over at my site (45 at least!) chianna47.webs.com

It's still a model, regardless of the material. And paper is a great material for scratch building or just greebling. Lookin' great!

Yogi (still a lousy detail painter so I'm sticking with paper, where I can print the graphics)

Good looking so far. Are you going to make this a mixed media, Paper, Styrene, Wire, Wood?

Basically it is a full on plastic version of a paperkit, tho saying that there is a little bit of wire holding the front chair mech together, (so it can swivel!).

I'm still in awe of the interior details you added aeryn43, can't wait to see this bird finished! Amazing job! :D

ooooh Gunstar, I've been wanting to build one of those for a long time, I would love to see someone [edit: Thunderchild did you do a paper card of that?] do a paper card of that. Where can I find the kit?

NO WAY!!! Thank you so much Thunderchild!

I used to do a lot of card models when I was a teen (wow am I that old now? 41) That was B.I. (Before Internet) Hopefully it's like riding a bike.

I think I may start with a simple model first and move to the Gunstar.

Lookin' cool. Maybe your next Gunstar can be a 1:32 scale version, heh,heh...

I have the plans for a bigger version, but that means more detail and more fiddly-bits to worry about...having enough problems trying to get the engines to look good as it is!
