Kuun-Lan with engine and support modules (Finished

[GreatDane]

Hi psychohistory!

First of all: Welcome aboard! I hope you'll enjoy your visits on this forum! Feel free to wonder around this site & forum threads; you might find other paper models (related to other Sci-Fi or PC-games perhaps) that might sparkle your imagination or enthousiasm as well.

As for different color schemes for the Kuun-Lan, here's a bit of advise that might get you started:
Both Yessmasster and Fructose have a blue/white version of the Kuun-Lan hosted on their sites.
Apart from that, they also have tutorials there which explain how to add color to (or re-color, for the same matter!) the textures. You'd need Paintshop or Photoshop to do that. And the texture files; extracted from the game files, off course.
Ask around; I bet Yessmasster, Fructose or Auris at least have the textures... I don't, not yet.
As for paper: I know Auris favours 160 gr/m2 (metric) paper (:that's 0.0074" thick), but I doubt that he used that for the antenae on the front?

Hope this helpes you out a bit?

GreatDane.

Uhh, yeah...

Yessmassters site is here:
hwmodels.ovh.org/index.html
And Fructose's site here:

And don't be too shy to show off any models you have, or are, building! ;D

Cheers,
GreatDane.

Am I the only one amused/puzzled about how the hangars in Homeworld are either bright blue or green? I remember hearing that modern aircraft carriers use red light because it's hard to spot at night...

Not that I'm trying to nitpick or anything, I'm just mostly talking to myself. Please continue.

You are quite correct Yoji. Especially if its really deep dark space with no ambient star light. Most of the space nebula's I see in Homeworld are  red, yellow and orange though. So blue or green hanger/cockpit bay light would still be okay for sight to become maculated but red is the best because of the light spectrum for the naked eye's iris to adjust longer from white light to dark. Military starlight NVD are green too when viewing through them and its not wise to use both eyes viewing though them for long periods of time as you will has a sunspot type effect if you view instantly into the dark. Especially the goggle type where you are viewing with both eyes. That"s why most are mono-type so you have one good eye exposed to the dark (or red light) at all times.
