If you remember, i finished few weeks ago Firestorm frigate https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/784746.page

and now, i want to make a new frigate - Gladius.

templates are unwarped using pepakura designer

then export to autocad and all other work is made in autocad: final templates, instructions...

**bhaad**

Slowly testing and collecting all together

soon will update post

**Warboss_Waaazag**

This is cool. The level of detail is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

**bhaad**

Slowly, but making some progress:

**bhaad**

The work-progress is soooooo slow
so, im making the most boring part - instructions

**Meer_Cat**

I'll chip on what Warboss said- the level of detail is incredible! What a fantastic build this is shaping up to be.

**bhaad**

All instructions are ready, but building is critically slow :(

**bhaad**

Mistakes! i had a few!
working on second part of ship, correcting mistakes

**bhaad**

So slow...

**bhaad**

All ready, now time to paint :(

That is absolutely incredible. It's really out of paper? Amazing crafting. Thanks for sharing.

**bhaad**

Yes, paper 200g/m2, cardboard 0.5mm, 1mm, toothpicks

**Commander Cain**

That is some seriously impressive engineering! Thank you for spending the time to make the instructions,depending on how long I am trapped inside I might have to give building one of my own a try!

**bhaad**

I can wish you luck. Im currently painting, im not a good painter, so it will not be the best thing in internet

**bhaad**

Lets call it ready
