Romulan Warbird from the Star Trek ToS era

 Woah!  It's been a while since I last touched this blog! 😆

Anyway, I was re-organizing my apps, trying to see if there were any programs that I could uninstall, when I accidentally clicked on Metaseq.

When metaseq started, I got a notification that there was an update. So I went to the metaseq site to download the latest app.  After playing around a bit, I decided to 'try' and make a quick design.  At that time, I was binge watching ST: ToS.  

So there, I decided to take a shot a the Romulan Warbird.

It's been years since I last used Metaseq.  It was kind of a struggle to get up to speed again.  But luckily I was able to get up to speed.


For texturing, I used Inkscape.  It was a pain to get the bird's wing design to align properly.

Once done, I fired up Pepakura.  


After doing a quick unfold and trying to make the parts fit on 4 sheets of card stock, I was ready to print and build.






And it's done!






Hopefully, I'll keep the momentum and start re-visiting all the unfinished designs I have.
