Subject: More paper models

Tripped over this while websurfing tonight...

http://aliens.humlak.cz/aliens/Aliens_papirove_modely.htm

This is a Czech guy who does really, really cool looking paper models,
mostly of Aliens-movie stuff.

He's got a big Aliens USMC APC, a 1:1 USMC Pulse Rifle, and a lot of little
paper models of the colony of Hadley's Hope.

The Hadley's Hope stuff is 1:148, nominally, which means it's huge for DS &
pretty small for 15mm SG (but the building might be usable there.). The
texturing & printed detail is amazing - this guy really knows what he's
doing!

15mm is roughly 1:100, so it shouldn't be impossible to scale this stuff
up for 15mm scenery - you might have to be able to run 11x17 sheets thru
your printer, though.

Check it out, anyway. Very cool stuff.

Forgot to mention: these card models are all archived in.rar files (fancy.zip,
basically), and the password is a little bit hard to find.
All the Aliens models have the pw of ALIENS - just to save everyone the
trouble of rummaging around the site like I did!

I've never heard of.rar, and apparently, neither has my operating system.

Could someone give a brief explanation, including if regular Zip programs
work.

RAR is another compression scheme; some utilities which will expand ZIP files
will also expand RAR. I don't know what OS you're using, but here's a RAR site
for Windows:
http://www.rarlab.com/

The easiest thing to do might be to go to www.zdnet.com and search under
Downloads for a RAR decoder for your system.
