it'll be nice one if you do two things
first try to make it priettier(it looks ...ehmm.. strange with that "protruding"white paper, so glue it once again, but now in patience).
secondly, what the **** is Time od Defiance, forgive me, but I'm a bit late with new games and films or stuff like that, or it's an old one and I just didn't came across with it .

it will probably have to be changed a bit, the fold lines on some parts are a little hard to see, on others, there isn't really a way to push the paper together more I'm currently working on another, shadoo crystal moss distillery, probably it will be a lot better (wth, why is it splitting the word shadoo) |

That was a little harsh Gremdek! How would you feel if you'd come to the board, to show off your first model, and offer it to the community, and someone just tells you that it's assembled poorply! Not everyone has the skills to assemble paper models flawlessly (including me).
Hello to You jrmiii. i also don't know the game this ship belongs to, but it's a cute lil vessel. If You make AI's i post it on the site.

Hey, I can't assemble models without white lines, either. Sorry for the rather hostile welcome you got, jrmiii. We're usually a lot better than that. So, ah, welcome!  Yeah. And that's a really neat little ship. I wish I had something to compare its size to. If you held it in one hand, how big would it be (palm size, etc.)? It seems really tiny. Which would make those little cylinders marvels of modeling to me, because Nerath + details = lots of crumpled and glue-drenched paper... |

Just wondering, have you all heard of edging. It is a technique that uses some type of colored pencil, or marker (felt), to color in the white parts at the seams of the joins and folds. Prismacolor felts are the highest recomended, but also the priciest (though they are also sold in individual felts), sharpie has also released a broad line of new colored markers. This will solve any exposed white spots you may have (just do it before you glue). I use it for all of my builds (I'd show you my pics gallery, but they don't have much to do with Sci-fi, more fantasy, and modern at this time).
Btw, nice build Jrmiii.

On Topic @ dragon:

Off Topic @ jrmiii: *sees my Mover, Autogun and Taiidan Mothership* *Respect +1000* any comments on them? thats the first of my motherships assembled that I know of. autogun should have a flat piece of paper in between it and the ammo thing so you dont have to glue the edges order for the mover AIs should probably be changed a bit (engines before closing center section so you can put your hand inside to make sure the engines meet the center correctly) some parts on the taiidan mothership tend to "cave in" when you barely touch them, but that could be because i used standard printer paper |

yep, cardboard aaaaaaaaaaall the way... I made the autogun before learning how to work in Meta, so, no mesh editing.
And most of my AIs are made by Auris, hes our pro AI writer here, you should contact him about the AIs for your new model.

Hi, jrmiii!
you've got an impresive fleet! To have built mines and missiles is a cool thing.
In the last model I built (B5 customized starfury) I painted the edges of the cardboard pieces. However, due to the standard glue I used, many places did not keep the new color.

That's some nice model collection, jrmiii.
and for coloring edges, i prefer oil pastelles - You can easily mix their colors and they're quite resistant to glue.

There was a topic about coloring edges and things like that.
your flleet is nicely done. not as mine(which is destroyed currently and rumour has it that it will not change)
...and I wasn't so harsh...
