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!

 

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.

I couldn't agree more.  Once you decide to not stick 100% to the studio scale model, a world of creative freedom is opened up.

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.?

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

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.
