It needs some textures tough.

PDO are a bane on the Linux users. I need to boot up a windows virtual machine to use the blasted software and print the file to a PDF...

No worries, no offense taken here. My trouble with the Intrepid Class is that I did a 2.5D version, but want to add an actually curved saucer section. Now I started to mix my Intrepid with the one that was already posted in this thread, and hopefully in the end it will turn out like a mix of that Intrepid and my Discovery from Papercuts... However, with several reviews to be written (Polaris RPG, Mutant Year One, Star Wars Destiny) for a German print RPG mag, there's little to no time to work on my personal projects... I suppose you meant mine Intrepid shep? cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/post/54005/threadI have a confession to make, I omitted all the glue tabs that I cut around the curved part of the dish. 20 or so of them, it was a fiddly thing to glue. Also, the engineering section is in the sheet, but it was so fiddly to build that I gave up on it, the ship sits better on a stand without it.

shep: Ferengi Heads as transparent PNGs. I reduced the bodies on by 80% to 60% in the vertical axis too. Cant remember exactly.

Oh, the beauty of simple things... Great minis, very much appreciated! About the Ferengi, maybe hackbarth could post the heads only. Since I have all sets of Retrospace, I can easily identify the bodies he used. So, if he'd post his heads, I could kitbash the minis myself... Can do, you just have to wait a little because I'm in th middle of a moving between cities.

Looks like it could mingle seamlessly with Chris Roe's vehicles. I'll put it among my motor pool from the Ebbles/Genet store.

There's the Song of Blades and Heroes ruleset for modern and near-future SF: Flying Lead. I don't recall it having vehicle rules, but it is perfect, as it's parent ruleset, to repurposed/generic miniatures.

I did print the complete model, with extra wings to make them double sided. I need to build it now.

Ya Know I've always wanted to give the Magnets a go and it looks neat too! What do most of you do, just use a rare earth magnet in the weapon and washer in the body (or vice versa), that way polarity wouldn't be an issue? I standardized my system. The weapons all have the same polarity, and the body of the vehicles and robots the reverse polarity. I use spent blade bits in scenery like tiles an the top of buildings.

Here's the Decon Unit A39 in some far off frontier spaceport. A Federation crew and klingon pirates are having a face-off. The feds won, but they had to trow a shuttle at the klingon boss.

I like magnets better. the joints never wore off, and I can mix and match weapons among my robots and vehicles.
That and I bought a hundred rare earth magnets at once, no need to economize for some time.

I would put the magnets on the top, side panels, and on the hatches bellow, to put interchangeable armament and utility packages, like the underwing stores of the Crotale.
I put them on the Shrike, the Star Wars T-Wing and the Elite Armada Spaceships. I can mount any Ebbles robot weapon on these ships, I printed a page of weapons from the Maginot firebase to mount everywhere I put a magnet.

I think it's the original, from when they where paid models. Worth every cent.

A VU-22 Percheron with my Star Trek PCs. In a hurry to build it, I forgot to put magnets inside :-(

I hardly notice the color of the cardboard through the printer paper, but here I have cereal which uses dark cardboard and cereal that uses light, even white cardboard, and use the dark ones with dark textures, like rooftops and dark grey rock facades, and the lighter ones for more light textures. My real problem is with embossed patterns that some cereal brands put on their logos. Here is an example of a cereal box build from the inside: You can almos see where I used hot glue to reinforce the cockpit, above the two magnets in the center. The magnets where glued with cianoacrilate.

I use PVA glue for large surfaces, like gluing textures printed on paper to cereal box cardboard, to make buildings and large props. To prevent warping i apply it with a painter roll.
To reinforce corners inside buildings, I use hot-melt glue, the kind you apply with a hot glue pistol.
For character miniatures I use two faced adhesive tape.
For small tabs, and for gluing the figures to the bases, I use cianoacrilate glue.

I have a balisong knife for scoring. It's something that I bought when I was a teenager and lost the edge many years ago. Today it's just the right tool for scoring.

Nothing that isn't general knowledge here, but this is a good video to introduce a beginner to the hobby. And a good model too.

I think I have figured out what you mean about the Federation cargo ship hackbarth, but any chance of a picture of the finished model? I'll take pictures, but these aren't printed yet.

A bunch of cargo ships. these are done in 2.5D, so that the top/down view and the side/side view are monted in a intersecting planes. The federation one has a front/back view as well.
