Oh but she is gonna look sick. sick. sick.

 

[Unreality]

I wish McQuarrie was still with us to see this beast. You sir take modelling a picture to a whole new level.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Noice!!!

Thanks Scott, I'm just waiting for more drawings from Stinson,...hopefully they'll be here next week,...theres a few bits I'm not 100% sure of till I check the measurements (docking walkways etc)

Wow thanks Unreality....but it's not me.....it's the Stinson....he's the man!!....I wouldn't be doing this (again) if it wasn't for his CG realisation

Noice!!!

Thanks J, I'm also gonna try to make a Vacuum forming box thing,.....to make the bottom hull a duplicate of the top......if this works out I might pop out a few....hmmm

J

 

[JohnSimmons]

Mmmmmm indeed!!!!!! Let me know how you get on with it!

 

[Jaitea]

Still haven't made the Vac Form thing,....still waiting on bits to come in the post.....but.....

....I got more technical drawings from Stinson....WOW!!
.....which were more than I could ever imagine for measurements....so I had to scrap the foamex that I'd cut,....I could have modified the existing one, but I thought that since it was still early in the build, I'd better go back & re-do & un-do my mistakes.....so my next few images don't really look that different than my last post





Thanks for looking
J

 

[Junkie]

So cool man. This is a great one to watch.

Thanks Scott, hopefully I should have something better to show on the next update

Wow thanks for the link unttld, that vid really makes you realise how much his art made the look of the films

[Jaitea]

Just a bit more done....I've almost finished the Vac form box to duplicate (and replace) the top hull for use on the bottom hull, I've made one docking corridor to duplicate as I need 4 of them....same as the turret....2 needed.......heres a couple of images of where I'm at:




Thanks for looking and Seasons Greetings Friends

[Quaralane]

Definitely liking how this could turn out.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Me too!

 

[Constantine]

Anything new yet on this one? So far she looks great! Would luv to see more.

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks Constantine (+ John & Q......from the past )

No, I haven't done a lot to this,....I even made a vac-form box,.....never tested it though,....perhaps testing it made me shelve it for a while

I'm still enthusiastic about the build though,....I'll get back to it when I clear some of the many builds I've got going at the minute
