Terri has asthma, and shortly there after, she was having an attack, maybe it's not related, but better safe than sorry the next time around. :...: |
Mike, pieces look great!
Gordon, THAT may be a good article for the Articles section as well ;) |

Great article...
Thank you Gordon... I really appreciate the article. What I can't believe is that there was no mention of this in the instructions that came with the molding and casting kits!
I didn't think anything of it when I had an asthma attack later because I've been having them a lot lately anyway. They had almost stopped but then I got pneumonia earlier this year and my lungs haven't been right since. Last night after we did the casting, I vacuumed the whole house, upstairs and down, cleaning baseboards, under the beds, closets, etc. I figured that overexerting myself had caused the attack. I'm sure the fumes didn't help any. Thanks again for the article! :salute: |

Can't you not have the same thing in the US? Best, Peter |
Battlestar Galactica (GREEBLIES) for detail of the finest sort. Buy, what I had to go through to get these important bits. These will also be offered for sale. :salute: And yes, that is my (blood) in the left hane corner...OUCH! :rotf:

I recognize one "greebly".....
It's on the bottom just left of center. It's white, with four round bits with a stick-like projection holding them all together. It's an antenna from the Apollo Spacecraft Service Module. I built so many of those when I was a kid, I would know that thing anywhere! |

No disassemble Terri! :eek:
That's all a part of what I was trying to warn you guys about w/the stuff being considered hazardous, especially for disposal purposes. Don't even think about sanding the stuff w/o some sort of face mask and eye gear! It gets in the lungs and you can cough it up hours or even days later. I know of a couple of guys who've said they were sick w/teh stuff and continued blowing it out their nose for the better part of a week once. |
Mike and Griff,
Total novice question but I've been interested in this stuff for a while. Where would the total novice go to start learning how to do this? Sandy |

Hi Sandy,
This is Terri posting for Michael. Just wanted you to know that Michael said you could call him about this. I sent you a private message with his number. Terri :salute: |
For an online tutorial, I recommend visiting Starship Modeler.com's Site Map. Scroll down to the "Scratchbuilding" section. The fifth entry down is Molds & Casting For Beginners which should help a lot as well.

Griff,
Thanks. Terri, Thanks and looking forward to talking with you guys again. Sandy |

BTW....can anyone help with studio scale Cylon Raider Dimensions? What might it be in comparison to TOS scale? Wing length tip to tip, Front to back? Or if one of you CGI guru's could do a size comparison sketch of a raider to the studio scale, would be a big help. :wtf: |
He's gonna make it I think!
Michael will finally get to post something in the Artwork - FINISHED section before long! :viper2:
This is a big accomplishment. He has spent countless hours on this project. :D |

Will do the renders and get them off to you as well. If you don't get them by the end of the weekend, kick me in the butt and remind me. Sandy |

Trying to get some things finished on the DeSanto and cast. Next project that I'd like to get cast, and the body is finished, ie the DeSanto advanced Raider. I'd like to start by monday finishing her up. Will wait for your renderings and measurments. You'll LOVE this Raider model, and want a few! That's our next project folks, and it'll be BIG! New Raider, and it's already started. :salute: |
:colonial: HERE'S SOME SHOTS OF THE MASTER BUILD-UP WITH THE STUDIO SCALE! :colonial:
this is a pic showing the master parts being test fitted and side by side with TOS studio scale. The detail is really being added now, and only a couple of days work left till completion. Thanks to all of you for your help and inspiration to pick this project back up after over a year gathering dust. It was almost thrown away a few months back. Thanks to Mark Bradley, for talking me into dusting her off and offering her to all of you. :salute: http://tinypic.com/i1wsae.jpg http://tinypic.com/i1wsd3.jpg http://tinypic.com/i1xxtz.jpg |
