Black Tea for me...no sugar.

So, i got distracted away from the BSC by prepping for Stargrave (amongst other things).  One of the scenarios involves a crashed spacecraft so I decided to whip one up using whatever was on hand.  "Hang on" says me, it's still a vessel, albeit damaged.  So, presenting my Crashed Spacecraft for the BSC 2025. 

This build is never going to be a grand showcase of my modelling skills but rather a quick, cheap n cheerful bit of terrain with a design philosophy more akin to the Cat In The Hat than say, NASA.  So, with my excuses out of the way, here are my current progress shots.

I like your thinking my friend.

Very solid start.  I can now stop staring at the spot.   

[Lost Egg]

That is a cool looking bit of terrain sir.

[Ragnar]

Thanks chaps.

Nice to see another member of Club Spacething 2025 making progress! I l really like the tapered shape you got in the cardboard of the main (nose?) piece.

It might be a challenge along the smashed up edges, but perhaps use light cardstock or styrene to hide the corrugated cardboard edges?

Honestly, I was going to leave the edges of the wrecked end as is, in the name of "cheap and cheerful".  I mean, who's to say that future tech doesn't involve corrugated metals?     Having said that, I'll probably dress up the nose edges with cardstock, at least.

Just glue some bits of wire into the corrugated edges.
Designers love to 'hide' cables in vessel walls.

Amazing for work in cardboard 

[Ragnar]

Thanks for the comments so far.

So, it's been a calendar month since the last update but I got things into gear over the weekend and have finally got the model to the painting stage.  Thanks to has.been for the wires idea; I added wires and bent pipes into the model.

Looking good my friend.

Well, someone's not getting their insurance claim approved...

That's looking really good, especially with the primer on there. I especially love the hanging cables and the overhang; looking properly derelict

Very nice work and the wires and other bits do add to the model as a whole.
