Ace
I had a go at building your unfold of the Hiigaran destroyer the other day. Like you said the bridge structure is pretty tough and I'm considering carving some balsa wood to shape and gluing the paper pannels to its surface.
OK Ok thats cheating. Guess what? I don't care....
As with most large Hiigy ships its the damn engines that are the major problem (why oh why did they abandon the classic Kushan design......)
Anyway, I noticed (my powers of observation must be failing me) that there are no gun turrets on the .pdo. did you ever manage to unfold these. IIRC the equivalent turrets on Jossips cruiser were a sod to build.....

The link is still here
www.republika.pl/ehacetfl/higdestroyer.rar but I haven't checked to see if it still works. Its on a single page and so would be about 13cm long once built. I've increased the size in Pepakura and printed off parts that would be about 26cm long when built. Needed some juggling of the parts but it'll fit. As I said, there are three main problems that I can see 1. There are no gun turrets 2. The bridge is "tricky" 3. Those damn Hiigy engines.... |

ya, it stills there
anddddd, I came up w/ this at pepakura:
Click DevelopedViewWindow
Click Scale Development to Specified Size
U can then scale the model to an EXACT size, wonderfull tool, great to make proportional fleets

remember when using pepas resize facility that you will have to use the move and rotate tools to get the parts to fit the paper correctly. Otherwise large parts will straddle two sheets. That isn't necessarily a problem - see Ent Es instructions for building the Vaygr Coms station. You will need to find a way to join the large pieces togther. Unless I'm desperate for a HUGE model, I try to scale models so the single largest piece fits one page. Of course you can scale the model down as well. I'm taking as my "baseline" the Qwaar Jet cruiser and trying to get the other models to a similar scale. That has meant bit of artictic licence. I've pasted JPEG parts for a Taiidan Assault and Ion Cannon frigate into word and used a drag technique to resize so the final model is about 11cm long compared to the Qwaar Jets 26cm and the Saarkin Cho being about 30cm. Those scales are probably a bit off but at least you get a sense of size.  Next up is to use Pepa to rescale Frutose Kushan Carrier, Destroyer, Cruiser and Frig (and corvette.......) to a scale that matches the Qwaar jet.... |

You need to merge some models in the Deep Exploration stage. I if you look at step 2 in my Homeworld 2 tutorial, you'll see what I'm talking about. It takes a bit of work to get all the parts together in a HW2 model. |

Well, I guess. I'll base the work off Ace's and just add the cannons. Shouldn't be too tough. |

i never sad Higgy Destroyer is cool unfold. In fact i hate higgarian ships (damn engines). About guns.. i just forgot to unfold them. Now its quite hard to add them to unfolded one, and unfolding it one time again is painfull..
im sorry about my low activity. My old mashine smashed up, and i just buy new. I still dont have files.. i need to re-download all.

I agree with Hig ships. I had a torpedo frigate unfolded, but I accidentally saved it when I undid the pepakura work for some reason and I never went back to unfold it. A total pain. I want to do a carrier, but it's pretty complicated and would take a long time.
