Francine Dingleberry	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:00:00 - [1] Well I finally finished my Kestrel paper model. Took longer than I expected (had a slight Warhammer Online detour) but it's done now. Made of card stock and is about 2.5 feet from tip to tip. Comments are welcome! Here is the full gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pupumonkey/sets/72157611974522881/ And a preview:
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar MasterBlasters Inc. CORPVS DELICTI	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:02:00 - [2] It's bad and you should feel bad! Haha, it's awesome ---------------------- Putting the sensual in nonconsensual
AkRoYeR Amarr	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:02:00 - [3] Awesome!
Evelgrivion Ignatium.	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:10:00 - [4] That's awesome
LegendInMyOwnMind	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:18:00 - [5] That is very impressive. Could you give us some insights into how you got the dimensions for it? How you set about building it?
Francine Dingleberry	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:25:00 - [6] Originally by: LegendInMyOwnMind That is very impressive. Could you give us some insights into how you got the dimensions for it? How you set about building it? I start by extracting the models from the actual Eve files using triexporter. I fiddle with the texture mapping in blender, then I use an application called Pepakura that takes the raw model and unfolds it into a printable version. Pepakura isn't that smart, so you have to basically assemble the ship all over again (sometimes poly by poly) in order to get a print out that doesn't look like a jumbled mess. Once you have the print out, it is fairly straight forward as long as you use pepakura as a guide to what flap goes where. Once I get a major piece assembled, I go over it a second time to emphasize the details you see in the game that you get from the specular mapping. At the end, I glaze the entire ship with spray enamel to give it a plastic/metal look. ta da!

Those models are the best cardstock ones I have seen - they certainly look better than the models produced from plastic kits. Excellent work :)

m3talc0re X Caldari Heavens Gate Consortium	Posted - 2009.01.02 12:50:00 - [26] Could you upload the template on eve-files so we don't all have to register on some unknown forum? Looks awesome btw. -------------------------- Wait, what now? Yes, I was Anubis Assassin, this will be my new main XD
Neth'Rae Gallente Decorum Inc HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:01:00 - [27] That looks sick! I'm impressed with the small details.. I do Sigs, Banners and other Graphics for ISK. Click Here!
WarlockX Amarr Free Trade Corp	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:08:00 - [28] I bet you would feel like **** if you lost that ship! ----------------------------------------------- Free Trade Corp - Flash page "I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation."
Ghoest	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:22:00 - [29] Thats really cool. It looks like a sick amount of work though. If you think corp is different than a guild or clan you have some insecurity issues.
Murk Loar O.W.N. Corp	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:57:00 - [30] That is extremely impressive,Im amazed at how much detail has gone in to the smallest of the humps and bulges. May I ask how long it took from start to finish,and also just the assembly time alone?
