=3 I'm a big fan of an almost decade-old PC game called Homeworld. *pokes avatar and profile pic album* It's the Mother of all 3D RTS games, and it shocked the gaming world when Relic released it in '99.
However, the game hasn't caught the popularity that games like WoW or Halo are known for. This means no marketing, and has left the Homeworld (HW) community at a loss when it comes to desiring models of their favorite ships from the epic fleet game.
Lucky for us, some people have resorted to extracting the 3D models from the game's .big archive. They've been able to use these models as blueprints, and some sites have released downloadable, printable paper models. They're essentially free, and can be assembled by anyone.
Or almost anyone.
XD I'm very very new to this subject, and therefore have no experience in it. I printed out the parts for a ship that can be found http://www.ericksmodels.com/paper/models/models.html <-here. However, the files that you download there are required to be opened via a program named Peparkura, which can be found http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ <-here, and is absolutely free.
I'm currently trying to assemble the 'Kushan Heavy Corvette' that is listed there. The assembly instructions show enforcement board that you cut out and glue to the back of some of the actual ship parts. I printed out the downloaded file, and see no cardboard reinforcement pieces.
All this boils down to one question: Where do I find the reinforcement pieces?
