Well, I saw a bunch of you guys going crazy over those paper models of game characters. So I decided to get started on some paper ships I found for Homeworld (PC, 1999), an outstanding RTS.
My recent completion is a Kushan Heavy Cruiser (minus the lower Ion Cannon as that thing is hard to put together).

I started work with the Taiidan Heavy Cruiser which was a lot harder than the Kushan HC and I kind of screwed up the middle so it seems kind of sucked in at the middle. I haven't gotten around to putting the rest of the cannons on this one.

I started the first one with using scotch tape and it works but putting it on the outside sucks. With the Kushan ship I used Scotch Glue which has a precise applicator and works well on paper. I only used tape on the Kushan ship on the side to keep it tough. The results are outstanding.
You can find these paper ships through Google and there's even ships from Homeworld 2 and other various Sci-Fi franchises. However some ships come with decent guides while others are a bit lacking. Also, from the Taiidan Cruiser, Read the guide before starting. It'll be a bit easier and less time consuming.
