Something different

Sat Mar 14, 2009, 7:25 AM
Some of you may know, some may not, but I have another hobby besides drawing, for which the base material is paper - paper model assembling / papercraft. I haven't intended to post any paperwork here, but I will make an exception; mainly because of
:iconbellaelysium: being curious and
:iconmartinux: giving away a nice model - the spaceship "Ebon Hawk" for free to everyone. Thank you both!
Another minor reason - I think I won't be doing any new drawings for some time (2-3 months), most of my time is spent by studies or related projects currently, and it's easier for me to find time for fiddling about with papier pieces :D I have something to post at least.

I hope I'll be able to post new shots at least every two weeks. I decided to merge a few small work-in-progress photos into one big one, so I won't spam you with tens of photos. Hopefully I haven't made the small photos way too small, but just in case - if you want to see some clearer, bigger shots, just say so and I'll post a bigger photo.


Clubs I'm in:
:iconslovakia: club of artists from my homeland! Thank you guys for managing this one for us.
:iconportraitpencilart: I'm a pencil portrait junkie, that's it.
:iconapocalypticsanctuary: 'cause I've been listening to Apocalyptica's music for years and I still like it as much as years ago.

Life is like beautiful lyrics, only it is pretty messed up.
:iconimclod:
Sorry I kept you waiting for so long :D
:iconmartinux:
Thanks very much and great work so far dude. :)

I think your final model will outlast my prototype by a few years, you've really went all-out on reinforcing it and no white-edges in sight. ;)

Keep me updated (at your convenience); if you run into anything that you consider to be poorly described or difficult to follow please tell me and I'll attempt to clarify.
:iconimclod:
Thanks :)

Coloring the edges makes a big difference, but takes a lot of time too. Actually, I haven't reinforced it much - I only cut all the original tabs away and use thin paper strips instead (or no tabs at all). And I cut two holes into C part, I want to deepen the outlets.
It'll have a long live, if no one steps on it :lol:

Only real problem I had was caused by my printer: when I was printing onto a thick paper, I noticed the print came out shorter by 2 mm in vertical direction. Quite of an issue when fitting larger parts together, but I was able to cope with it so far. I wrote down some remarks about a few parts; I'll pm you when I finish the side bays.
