ringleheim Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The plumbing looks fantastic! I'm curious though: is that stuff actually on the studio scale miniature used for filming? Or are you just adding it because it looks cool?! I like it either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of it is on the filming model, its all made up. I don't necessarily want the exact same one as on screen and as its scifi I can go a little more sideways. ringleheim, Gazzas and D.B.

Once you decide to not stick 100% to the studio scale model, a world of creative freedom is opened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 You're quite right and I am quite fastidious about not going with what's in the box (some exceptions excluded) I've been asked a couple of times on another forum if I could take some shots with something recognisable for scale, so I just took a couple of pictures with a Tamiya Glue Bottle in front. It's not a small ship like usual - this one's definitely bigger than the Yunagi!! I can lay 2 of them, 1 over each side of that back end alone As you can see, it's got some paint on it and it looks much more tied together now. I think I got the colour right too! Anyways, I've started on the bridge and I shall have pics of that hopefully this weekend I hope the pictures give you a better sense of scale.?

The Madhatter Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Time for an update I've started the bridge and have pretty much finished the face. I may yet go back and add a couple more bits on for good measure. I have most of the holes drilled ready for fibers to go in. I've also made a start on the roof section. It's a little bland for my taste so I've started adding details there to. Again, all made up stuff - no references. It just makes it look more interesting The back end is also now painted and ready to go on. I still have to install the lights but that won't take long. I'll take some lit shots when it's all done Well, that's it for now. I'll update again once I've done something worth showing with the bridge Thanks for stopping in and having a look Si Fooesboy, scvrobeson, Christoffer Lindelav and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 It all looks great. The black background is appropriate. It looks like we are getting construction photos of the real thing out in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 hi all Work continues with the completion of the roof. I'll have the big X thingy standing up I think. I need to start detailing that part and then add it to the roof. The shield generators have been added since these pictures but I need to fix up a few things before I can show you. That's it for now. Thanks for looking Si scvrobeson, LSP_Kevin, BloorwestSiR and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
