Colonial Shuttle (MK-I)

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here is a paper/cardstock model of the Colonial Shuttle (MK-I) in 1:120 scale. The original template consists of three (3) parts sheet and instructions. For this build, I printed each parts sheet four (4) times, in order to obtain this level of detail.
The template was designed by Martin Saenger. The template is available for free download at www.paperaviation.de

You have the hands of a master.

You have the hands of a master.
Thank you very much! This was a very fun project!
I wish that the template had an interior (i.e. cockpit, crew areas, and storage).

Holy frack! That is amazing! I think I might try my hand at doing this model. Perhaps not to the degree of detail as yours but seems kind of fun nevertheless...

Thanks for sharing!

Could you do larger sections of the shuttle, showing interior structures?

Thank you very much! In order for me to obtain that level of detail, I printed each parts sheet four times, and then layered the parts accordingly.

I wish you the very best of luck with your build. I look forward to seeing how your build turns out.

Unfortunately, template does not have an interior. So, I would have to completely scratch build an interior for it. Now, with that being said, yes it is possible to do such, however, I have not the skills (yet) to pull that one off very well.

Gotcha. I have always wondered what the other sections of the shuttle looked like.

Here is a diagram that I found in the internet:

Granted, it may not be totally accurate, but it is a very good representation.

Yes, I have seen those. I wish we had something with greater detail to go on. Does anyone know of any other schematics or drawings?

Yep. :) http://shipschematics.net/bsg/shuttle_mk1/shuttle_mk1.pdf

Looks like that GIF image may have been based on my original PDF.

Beautiful work on the model!
