I made a Firetail out of paper. I don't really have the time to grind one out in game, so I figured this is as close as it gets. :)

I used the standard Triexporter to extract it, texture mapped it in Blender, then used pepakura to unfold it into a printable format.
Took a couple months of on and off working on it to finish.
Enjoy!

very impressive work there .
i discovered that ship by accident when i was last rummaging through the game assets .
took me a while to work out which one it was .
i found myself underestimating how pretty some of the minmatar ships really are .

i'd be very interested to know how to do that! would certainly kill some time when pos bashing or bored of eve!
Do you know of any tutorials on how to extract the models or, well, just be able to make a model like that - its awesome!

Awesome! Looks pretty scary, it'd fit nicely as some evil robot in a movie. Very good work indeed.

That is awesome, great job! Now, now, now. Sounds like someone's got a case of the poor me's. If you were gonna die, you would have done it by now! Maybe you just need to realize you're gonna to have to live with intense pain |

that's really cool man. I was just wondering though, did you use the existing textures, or did you actually re-texture it entirely from scratch? That looks like a fairly large model, i could see the original maps possibly being sub-par res. for printing at that size. If so kudos on the hard work, and very cool in any event.

Aw, man. I only narrowly avoided grinding for one of these a month ago. Now I have to re-convince myself that I don't need one.

ccp should hire you to craft their models for ships etc. This work is really good imho. i expected something cheesy but that is not the case.
I'd think it was professional. |

There is no need to grind one. Check your contracts (3days) |

I used the existing textures from the game and did some paper layering where I felt there needed to be more definition. The orange highlights (what would be the alpha channel) was white and I used some colored pens to try and make those pop out a little more.
The shininess is from a glossy fixative.

CCP should make paper model kits you put together yourself. Got to be way cheaper than those $125 statues they currently have for sale.
