101 SPACE Oddities(comments)?

> This is a rather informal, just-for-fun Painting Club.

To which I know I shall never be worthy, but I would like to request a Part Deux.

Scanning the list, I was disappointed to see not a single entry actually in space, no ship to burn noiselessly in the aether. All handsome, and, oh, Blackwolf, your Fräulein pilot has stolen my heart, but nothing a VACCHEAD can sink his teeth into.

May I suggest a scratch/bash and paint informal challenge. Please note, I think the original build restriction will be good, because many have shown it adds to the creativity of the ships, and I really do fear 101 X-Wing repaints.

Would there be any takers? Froggy, may I suggest your Rikkit dreadnought as a start?

Sure, works for me.  Where would you like me to post it?

[Damas]

I may have something to add.

Oh yea, just sorted out my box of bits, bobs and greebles. Thing is, I think Jim just won with his Y-win conversion.

If Chris doesn't 'take the bait' soon, I'll start another post, copy most of his rules, and Bob will be MY uncle. ;->=

Don't think there are winners, just a 101 players, right?

If I end up inspired by others to build something cool I wouldn't have otherwise I would call that a win.

I'm getting the itch too

Given the proposed informality of the "club" and the very narrow niche theme (spacecraft which must be scratchbuilt or kitbashed), might it not be better to ditch the 101 goal and just have it be an indefinite, casual (probably non-stickied) thread titled "The spacecraft scratchbuild/kitbash thread" or something like that, instead?

I'm going to ask the ugly question, does 3d printing count as scratch building?  Mind I'm going bits box diving soon as my schedule allows.

It seems like underregulation might be the best way to go here.  If you know you're scratchbuilding, you're scratchbuilding.

I could probably do a derelict/pirate fleet from failed prints alone these days.

Definitely scratchbuilding.  I wanna see it.

If you do the work, it's a scratch build. Doesn't matter if the work is physical or digital.

I consider myself humbly corrected. ;->=

I can still HOPE, though. 

As for 3D, vox populi, vox dei. Like a proper scratchbuild or paint job, something I can't accomplish.

Other suggestions?

Good news bad news situation. I started my build for this, and its shaping up nicely. Bad news, its shaping up like it could make a great 28mm speeder bike, and I think that's what its going to be, rather then a spaceship. Sorry vacheads everywhere.
