Inspiring scratchbuilds

Hi to all,

A bit more progress. The underside detailing is pretty much done. I still have to add a bit more gubbins to the engine section. Here's a few pics.

As you'll notice, the main elements have been glued together. Here's what it looks like from the "good" angle.

There's a few gaps here and there, but they'll disappear once the upper hull plating is in place. Engine section is next on my build list. Hope you guys like it.

I refuse to believe what I'm seeing

Fantastic!

Have you started to think of colour schemes for this beastie?

Sir Dryden · « **Reply #66 on:** April 28, 2019, 10:13:58 PM »

Thanks for the positive comments. Much appreciated.

Hey Andym, I started this project with a few quick sketches and color tests. Here's what I had in mind.

In case it's not clear, I'm going for this kind of look.

Earth circa 1975 feels and looks very much like Rebellion-era Star Wars...

I've also been able to work a bit on the main engine bell. It's still at the skeleton stage, and even that isn't finished.

More to come soon.

This is just so good...

Excellent work.

Okay, time for a small update. I managed to find a little time to work on the engine section this week. Here are the results.

The engine bells are a little crooked. It kinda bugs me, but not enough to start over. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. It's not finished, but so far so good. You might notice the two "struts" that I added to the section in front of the engines. I'm really happy with those. It's a super simple addition, but it improves the ship a lot by streamlining the silhouette (when seen from the side) and creating some negative space, making the whole thing "pop" when seen from other angles.

Here's a shot of the whole thing so far.

The pics are kinda crappy, I'll try to post better ones soon. As usual, comments are welcome.

Amazing work! May the fourth be with you.

Splendid

As to colour schemes, my favourite is the small one in the top right corner.

Andym · « **Reply #72 on:** May 04, 2019, 09:59:31 AM »

Wow!

Colourwise, I would have said top left or bottom right. If you're wanting that truck look, anything with writing on adds to that aesthetic.

Amazing!

I managed to work a bit on the sides this week. Here's the results so far.

The lighting in the pics makes the panel lines look deeper than they actually are. There's still a lot of detailing to add, but it's a start. More to come soon.
