Oooohhhhh, that workspace... Man, you have a fantastic setup. Most of my models were built on my parents' dining room table :-) Also, I have friend who's a huge 40k fan and has a few miniatures he's busy painting. Will definitely send him the link, he'll enjoy your work tremendously.

Interesting... So that means plastic sheet, I would assume. Never worked with it myself, I went all-balsa when I started scratch building. Note to @ChrisReid; This isn't a paper model as per your front page post.

I've been playing AoA for a few weeks now. Still a bit rough around the edges in some ways, but it has the makings of a solid RTS. It certainly scratches the "blow stuff up with tanks" itch I've been having.

Here's me! http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994723138/

So, this may seem like a silly question to ask at this point, but is this going to be a papercraft model?

Haven't downloaded a new version in a while. I think it's time again!

All I can say is, well done! That's part of the fun and the beauty of scratch building: You use any tools at your disposal, and whatever approach you are comfortable with. I'd say this is a great first pass. The overall proportions look spot on to me. As you mentioned, you need to get the scale...

OK, so I've done a bit of thinking and come up with a few basic tips and examples you can use. These are just suggestions, so if you want to take a different route or try something simpler, that's perfectly fine. I'm very pedantic about details and I enjoy making detailed drawings, so for me...

Jip, that's a mighty fine collection of stills you have there. They ought to come in handy. As for the measurement ratio, you've got the idea. Don't worry so much about the 32m fictional length; that will only come into play if you build additional ships and want to ensure that they scale...

Fair point; it's tricky to try and measure anything from a video frame unless the ship is aligned along an axis. That's why I would work from something like the Warbirds poster primarily, and then use the videos for spot checks and to discern fine details. As for how to determine the dimension...

Indeed, love that video. It should do nicely for some detail shots. I went a bit nuts, and downloaded a tool that can do frame by frame decomposition of a vid into jpg files. You end up with thousands of pics, but it's better than hitting pause or print screen.

Oooh yes, this one grabbed my attention right away! Thanks for the call, @Whistler. @Adm_maverick, welcome to the wonderful world of scratch building! Always good to meet a fellow model enthusiast. The snaps of your workbench above made me smile, I can tell you. :) I've been cobbling kits...

Amazing work! Any chance of importing anything into Armada instead of vice versa?

Fingers crossed... Age doesn't matter when you are doing mocap and voice work, but even so, he'd be great as a more senior officer this time around. Either way, it would be fantastic to see Mark back in a CR game.

I don't suppose you've had any luck tracking down those high res models used for the cinematics in WC3 and 4?

Waiting with great anticipation... :-)
