Oh hey, a new one to add to the existing line of Herc 1, Athena, and Orion (?).
That is, if I ever get the patience to make one.

Neat. My favorite bomber. Careful with these threads, though. I stated one a while ago with disasterous results...

That's because the site you posted had already been posted several times. This is one he made himself, by the looks of it.

Looks pretty cool.

That might be true. I never searched through the board to find an earlier one, I just found them on the web.

In the event of more of these being produced in the future, I feel an epic paper space battle might be in order. Multiple lighters and firecrackers will proudly give their lives in the line of duty upon that day...

That'd be cool.

So'd you just UVMap the original vanilla model?

I imported the vanilla model (minus debris and LODs) into Pepakura Designer: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ and then unwrapped it. I hadn't registered the program though, so I installed Primo PDF: http://www.primopdf.com/ which creates a false printer that converts anything "printed" to that printer to .pdf and created the file with that.
I suggest you use card for your own models, as paper is too flimsy

the Medusa is at 1/230 scale, the collossus would be about 23m long at this scale

How long would the Icanus, Gigas and Gargant be then?

How many kilometers long would the Icanus, Gigas, or Gargant be in actuality? Just scale that with the ratio of the actual length of the Orion (about 2km) and its scale size (about 23m). That should give a pretty good estimate. For example, knowing that the Hades is a little over 3km in length, I bet at 1/230 it would be about 35m in length. Which is an OBSCENE amount of paper. Cross-multiplication is great...

:wtf:
I said collossus...
Besides, it's easy to work out, just open up the model in PCS2, take a look at the bounding box min and max, and then just divide the bounding box size by 230, and boom, there's your answer.
and my original figure for the colly was a typo (meant to write about 26m)/error due to taking it as exactly 6km instead of 6117.462646m, it's actually about 26.6m to scale

So, what ship do you lot want next?
I'm thinking another bomber, or possibly a cruiser...
Any ideas?

If you're daring, a Mara or Seraphim. Those would both be devilishly hard to make.

A Deimos shouldnt' be too hard, and it'd look pretty cool. Don't bother making it in scale with the Medusa though.

Fenris, Leviathan...

Simple geometry, cool detail.

As far as Shivan ships go, someone did make a Basilisk. I think it was in the same thread as the Orion.

Bumpity bump. Finally got a not-complete-crap camera (though still not far off) so I figured I'd get pics of this up here:





It's about 2 years old now if not more, and so a little dusty and saggy, and is still held to the wall by two 'tempoary' pieces of coathanger wire. :\

Roughly 65cm long, and yes the turret barrels were very fiddly. :p
