There is another designer that is planning on making a paper model of this fighter (but it will be quite some time before he is able to get to it though).

Unfortunately, there is not a Cylon version (yet). I do not know if UHU02 has it is the queue of things to make.




@ Amon Ra, Yes it is true that UHU02's work is highly protected. This is something that he wanted. He has had problems with pirates and people claiming credit for his work. Not only that, but his models are some of the most sot after on the net.
Yes, it is a rule that one CAN NOT ask for (or distribute) the log-in and password information in open forum. Members caught doing such will be banned from the forum (especially if that member is passing out the information).
This information is very easy to find. All you have to do is go to the UHU02 Appreciation thread (http://www.zealot.com/threads/the-uh...thread.168265/) and thoroughly read through it and you will find what it is that you are looking for (of course, you have to be a member of the forum as well).
I (for one) am terrible at finding these sort of things, but I was able to do it. So if I can do it, so can you. Yes, I was able to find this information BEFORE I was the site administrator.
You just have to read the thread and pay attention.

Not only that, but if you follow his website, you will see that he will leave the model that he is currently working on available for all to download for a certain amount of time before he locks it in the library.

I am sorry to hear that you think that paper models are lousy (what a shame). You are really missing out on a WONDERFUL side of model building that is VERY ENJOYABLE and GREATLY UNDER-RATED.
I have always found paper models far more CHALLENGING and ENJOYABLE to make than plastic models. Not only that, but there are a GREAT DEAL MORE paper models available than there are plastic. There are many paper models that you can not even find in plastic (or any other medium for that matter).
The really cool thing is that most of them are free.
I love paper models, but I don't like being given an attitude for asking for help because I didn't kow where to start. All I wanted to know was if I was supposed to looking for a picture, a posting, or both.

As for the zealot website, I did register there, but I probably won't be back since it was one of the mods who gave me the attitude in a snotty email which basically said everything I needed to know was on his site and to not ask for any more help and to reply if I understood, which I never did.

As far as I'm concerned the uhu dude can keep his models, plenty more to be built elsewhere. My advice to him though is this: if you're that worried about your models being stolen, then you should probably just keep them to yourself and not post them on the internet for all the world to see because eventually somebody, somewhere WILL steal them - it's human nature.

And it's not even him that was rude, it's all these other people that think their his personal mouthpieces or something. Apparently these people assume that we're all out to steal the models.

Sorry about the rant, but they are, in the end, just paper models.
