prowler0000 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That's REALLY well done! I followed your WIP, & thought it was very accomplished as you progressed...... Will the next one have guns on it, tho? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Great build mate. And to think that it is all paper and card too. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gn Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm not sure about the next one - maybe an older battleship, or maybe a supply ship. what I need to get sorted is how to roll tiny tubes of paper accurately (i.e. 1mm or 2mm diameter). I ended up peeling the back layers of paper off these bits to make rolling easier, and then forming them around a drill bit... but then how to stick the edges together easily? Still a lot to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginvicta Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I enjoyed following your build and it's a great looking model, Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gn Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ta very much. Here is another pic I just took of it together with a £1 coin for scale (as requested by someone on another forum): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Very nice! Papermodels are fun to build, and you did a nice job on the Wuppertal. I'm building the Bruno Illing right now, about the same size from the same manufactuer. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That's really quite incredible - would never have believed it was a paper model if you hadn't said! What material are the laser cut railings? Are they paper or card too? I have to admit that I've long had an aversion to paper models that goes back to the dark ages when I was young, when I used to have terrible results whenever I tried to make one - & my parents would insist on buying me a book of paper models every Christmas it seemed! So I don't think I would ever get a result approaching yours! Tremendous model Doc.! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gn Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Alex, the Bruno Illing is another model I'd like to build - what is its difficulty rating? Keith, the railings are thin card, laser cut. Very delicate as you can imagine, so I painted them with thin pva to stiffen them. The model is very well designed and the fit is great. You do have to be precise with cutting out though! Thanks for the comments guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's considered as "difficoult", but I'm sure you can handle it! Fitting so far is good, some very small things to take care of. http://h-m-v.de/index.php?id=103&L=1 Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
