The files are already down. I was sharing for those that showed an interest in my process. Poor judgment on my part.

http://www.papermodelers.com/
If you need to get them in some other way, let me know.

Cool that you pulled off the curves on the Pegasus. That's certainly not easy!

The easy way, I left the back open until the last and used a pencil with a well rounded eraser to shape the curves.
That should make 21 ships all together. Now I just need to do the final refinements, import them into ...

Does anyone know much about layered pdfs? I am getting close to finishing the Hydrans and I wanted to create a pdf file with layers so the different fleet colors may be displayed and printed? I've managed to make a test one that works but I've lost some of the details in doing so.

Another update. Here are test builds of the smaller vessels. The Stinger fighter, Harrier fast patrol, Gendarme Police cutter, Hunter Frigate, Buffalo/Rhino Hunter War destroyer and the Lancer/Knight destroyer.

I've enlarged the hunter and Buffalo hunter to about 30mm. I'll also have to enlarge the ...

Superb stuff - is that the kind of thing ham-fisted gamers (i.e. me) would be able to make from a kit if it was ever manufactured?

Thanks :D
manufactured kits, you say? hmm...Your the second to suggest that this could be the start of a new product. If I thought I could make a little off my hobby ...

Thanks. I appreciate all the input. Work has picked up and it may be a few weeks before I can get back to correcting a few things and continuing on with the Hydrans. Is anyone interested in getting the pdf files to print their own Tholians and Kzinti fleets?

In his defense, he did say he was playing with the sizing. Ignoring the sizing issue, he looks to have build the Archeo-Tholian ships correctly, including the CA, DN, and BB. (Incidentally, the BB is five PC hulls, not six.) Once he decides on the scale for the base PC hull, I figure the other ...

Those are wonderful.

I'd highly recommend putting the pictures up in a way that gets SVC's attention (or emailing them to him). You could have the makings of a new product line there (printed or e23).

Believe Me, if I thought I could start my own line, I would jump at the opportunity. However, I ...

Thanks, The DN is pretty close to what the final will look like along with the Kzinti and the Tholian.
I didn't know if any of you guys would be into paper as a construction method. I know some can be a little purist about their minis. My thoughts were, I can print up and make a fleet in a really ...

I finally have something worth looking at. They are actually paper models. They have a little Adam Turner inspiration. These are not finals but test builds.

While I'm at it, does anyone know how to get the pics to show instead of just the links?
