Been gone on holidays for a couple of weeks. Back now, will try to do some updates early next week.

 

Cool, glad you got some time off.

Just a quick note that I haven't forgot this project...it looks like I will have to put everything on hold for the summer. But Ricky, you can do those fans anytime and drop me a line.

That's cool.

As soon as I get caught up, I'll definitely get those those things done. When I started taking orders, I never imagined I would be as busy as I am.

Summers over and fall is upon us. I have managed to sneak back into the hobby room a couple times. I have decided to redo some of the features on the wings to help strengthen it. Every time I place it on the table on top of the engines, the filler cracks and falls out...too much flex. So I am going to give it a bit more strength and get the bottom of the one wing done before I start on the second wing. Get the kinks worked out before the insides are covered. Unfortunately the paint on the wings will have to be redone as well, but its for the best I think. Quick shot of the repair work.

 

Very cool... I hope the extra supports work out.

Well Got the filling done, now the fun part of having to re-sand it all AGAIN. Found, over the summer, the shipped had a lot of battle damage done to it, so I found the wings weren't the only parts that needed filler.and repair work.









Well that was all drying, I decided to start some of the interior features...like the chairs and the back wall.










Here's how Spock looks in his new chair....only 7 more to go









The Chair is actually adjustable...so it doesn't matter how long the action figures legs are.

 

While I was at it, I also added some interior lights. You can see the row of lighting (like florescent) along the top of the roof. As well as some lights in the rear compartment, that will help illuminate the rear exterior of the ship. Light blocker has not been added yet.







Here's how the doors were made...nothing like keeping it simple.

 

Very cool.

 

Insane! Epically insane!

 

Started on the Interior Controls. These are the start of the interior sensory arrays.

 

I made some small changes, (replacing the chair design to match the original seats). Then my scratch build Galileo is getting closer to being completed. Whats left to do? Well since you asked A New front windshield, circuit board for the 3 strobes, 6 more chairs and some temp engine templates to install and then I think I can seal her up. Then its a matter of filling the seams and making her look pretty.

Amazing.

 

Absolutely great

 

I am approx 95% complete now. Here are a few shots with her lights on.

 

And a couple short videos...

Just a note, this video was taken before the half seams were filled, so you will see some light bleed.

This video is just after the seam was filled but not painted yet.

Nice work! In that first pic, for a second there I thought your lamp was a radar dish!
