That one diver looks like he could have been the model for these astronauts BTW -- the dome needed fold lines, but then needed grey edging along the cut lines to keep it looking right. I also put the tabs on along the bottom exterior triangles.  |

The suits would probably be better for deep sea diving, but not too deep. Notice in the first photo how the sleeves are scrunched up to the elbow. Not good in space or at extreme depths The real killer though would be the bare hands  No it's fine, there's no air on the moon's surface but the weather is actually quite temperate.  |

I still need to find time to finish the Lunar Modular Transport.  And I still need to know whether there is a page limit for hoard entries, as the LMT right now is friggin' close to 50 pages, and I think the page count will rise further, once I re-arrange the parts onto the hoard sheet... Perhaps, I should put some of my Space:1999 corridors and rooms here instead, even though they're already in my projects folder. |

Perhaps, I should put some of my Space:1999 corridors and rooms here instead, even though they're already in my projects folder. Page limit: Yes and no...there isn't an actual page limit but for a multi-page model I would request a build picture with a neutral background that can be used as the preview pic on the downloads page. If you sent in a 50+ page model with no picture it is quite likely to just appear as a download link with no picture. So yes, picture please!  |

And ... is that 50 pages of parts or 50 pages of parts and instructions?

OK, I got some stuff in progress that is at least sci-fi themed, if not moon-specific. Possibly pink. Good news: if this gets done, it definitely won't be pink. Bad news: it may not get done, I have been busy with other gaming projects. |

It's 50 pages of parts... and so far, it only exists in Photoshop, since I have not built it myself, yet... However, once the last module is done, I will carry the PDF to the copy shop at the corner and have everything printed there. Then I'll set up my camera and will (most likely) have my wife take pics of every step of the building process. Once the model is done, I'll take a final pic in front of white background...

If you like popping bubble wrap, you'll enjoy doing all these little folds  |

Well, it's bedtime, and I didn't finish it, but I started at the top, then did the solar panel level joins, then the Chrysler emblems, then the rest of that white layer. Partway done with the lower blue level and it is looking good EDIT --  It works out to just a tad over 3 inches across. Now to do the Tommygun inspired base. All the textures on this are variations on his textures. I'm going to continue with that on the lower building. EDIT #2 -- The dome will sit on a 3.5 inch X 3.5 inch tower, that is textured like his outpost. An L-shaped building with geometry and build from his Big Building, will be textured based off his Hex Buildings and Sci Fi Building 2, with lean-to's based off his greenhouse hex buildings. Since Tommygun went by the name tommygun17 at other forums and his website was Sector 17, I snagged an image of the tower from Killjoy's Red 17 Arkyn base, which will be incorporated into the tower. Worked on cleaning up and straightening the image last night and during a webinar today.  EDIT #3 -- I had a picture of what I want to do in my head, but thought maybe Tommygun had something more appropriate. cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/user/731/recent . What surprises me is that with the Photobucket and PostImage issues, there are a lot of images still showing. There are a lot of 'bits and bobs' stuff in there. I will have to go through it tonight |

One little stupid thing about the dome -- It was one I found on DeviantArt, but was actually part of an educator's website in the Science section. There was no photo on the Science website, and the one on DeviantArt looked like it was one of the builder's first paper projects (not her fault since the only instructions were to tape the edges on the inside). I did this partly because I wanted to see how it would sit. I had added bottom tabs to the centers of the sides to attach it to the top of the roof. After the dome sat all day, it settled. The dome doesn't have a round footprint, but a pentagon. The sides are straight, three facets to a side. Now, I'm trying to decide how best to handle it. I'm thinking to just have some reinforcement strips going along the inner edges. Hmmm

Hmmm If the footprint of the dome is a pentagon, you could just as well create a pentagon-shaped building as the base, with airlocks/doors on all five sides from where the overall building could expand into secondary side buildings via some kind of corridors. Much like Alpha Moonbase in Space: 1999... |

But since I am trying to come up with something that looks like Tommygun would have designed if he were still around, I decided not to go that route. But I might go back to that... |

Short day at work. Should have gone to the store, but all my partially completed stuff seemed to come together.      shep, you have your five-sided building, optional air lock entrances and your connectors to go to other buildings. I liked the blue on the locks and connectors, so I swapped out the darker blue for the brighter blue I wonder if Sirrob01 would mind me doing an attempt at Tommygun's version of the Sand Gecko next time a hoard like this comes up, cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/post/24461 |

So I found that the English version of the poster has one full figure. I figure the whole poster may still be under copy right but if I cut out a tiny portion of it and modify that, that would be OK?  |

In the USA, you need to modify sonething at least 30% different from the original if I understand correctly. |

If I remember right, the movie was 1964. Fifty-four years. If you put 'Fan Art', you should be okay, but I'm glad you were considering the legalities. Do you think a helmeted version might happen? I'm not familiar with the poster. With what elements are available from the full figure, and elements from other posters, would more be possible?

The Hoards are our monthly themes, and artists (such as yourself) and non-artists (such as myself) are free to participate in them

In the USA, you need to modify sonething at least 30% different from the original if I understand correctly. Yes, I think using far less than 30% of the poster, adding tabs and a (mostly) original-to-me back (if I can figure it out!) I can call the use "transformational". Fan art is not actually a "fair use" defense but since this project is non-for-profit and this use would not inhibit Columbia Pictures from making a profit on their film or even on sales of the movie poster so that is another "fair use defense" covered. H.G Wells has been dead for more than 60 years so (in Canada) his creations are in the public domain. Yes, I want to add two different helmet styles. |

Did a test build during the KC Chiefs game last night   I haven't done the connectors, since I don't have anything to connect to in the Hoard, yet. I was looking at @tomygun's hex buildings and the sci fi building #2, and I think it should look good. I was also thinking of doing a 1 1/2 story version of this without the dome. Probably not, but if someone wants it, I might. I should do a full roof anyway, for those that don't want to mess with the dome |

 Lunar Lander based on the Soviet one man lander. It's a bit over three inches high. BUT...I can't fit it on one page. Two would work and leave plenty of room for instructions. Too big? |
