Giant TOS Spacedock Kitbash

[Forbin]

Been working on this one for a loooong time.
The instant I saw the Moebius Derelict model, I knew what I wanted to do with it.

Lotsa pics:

It'll be a while before I get to putting it in some space scenes and giving it a proper webpage.

I can't think of a better word.

What scale are those ships?

 

[Albertese]

Are those starships based on the old Lou Zocci minis?

Fantastic work as always!

I'm gonna need a banana for scale. But nicely done!

 

[BorgMan]

That's awesome. But is that hatch big enough for Constitutions to pass through?
Also, if that's OK with you, I might want to do a 3D model of it some time in the future...

Nope. Just whacked some Gamescience mini parts together at random.

Gamescience minis - 1/3788, IIRC.

 

[Santaman]

Again an outstanding model, love the weathering, looks like she's been in space for a long time already.

Damn, still a sizeable model. Did you ever do anything similar with an AMT Death Star?

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Very nice work

 

[Wingsley]

Your station reminds me a little of Flint's M4 hoverbot.

 

[fireproof78]

That's amazing.

It's that general TOS feel.

My only encounter with that deathstar model was when I walked into a hobby store where a friend was building one for display. He tossed it to me across the lobby, we played catch a little, then he put it on its stand and called it done.

Okay, some quick measurements:

It's 17" high over the antennas.
At 1/3788 scale that makes the station 5,366.3 feet tall (over a mile!)

Without the antennas it's 13 3/16"
or 4,162.85 feet

Distance across the arms to the tips of the pods is 16 1/8"
or 5,090 feet

Good news! We're BOTH right! Lou Zocchi is the guy behind GameScience!

Great work as usual.
