7 TV ARC and friends
« on: August 09, 2013, 07:21:11 PM »
I am intending on running a 7 TV game at BLAM. We have decided to build a new board. First though while I wait on the foam to arrive. I am starting some of the cast.

The board is going to be a moon base. So first off the cast need a way to get there.
I bought the pegasus hobbies Apollo 27. Its 1/72 scale so I have to convert it to 28 mm.
I have used a crooked dice argo pilot







Some of the rough bits on the black paint are due to a problem I had with the spray paint. But they will be hidden once the rocket is built


Size of the rest of the rocket

Damn, wish I could be there!

Cracking stuff. I've used the Pegasus Kit on a couple of different projects. Works a treat.

Picture of the rocket for scale.
Not sure what colours to paint it?

I'd suggest either "S:1999 Eagle White", or silver overall with prominent RAF roundels. Unless it's for a villain, in which case some death's heads wouldn't go amiss, IMHO.

Here we go. Get's the popcorn out and settles on the sofa to watch the next dose of magic take form.

Took a bit of work. Had to chop the double 1/72 scale seat in two. Added the control desk in front of him

I'd Google Ministry Of Space.
I go to pieces so fast that people get hit by the shrapnel.
