Before I started the Dauntless, this was the project I was working on. It has been shelved for the time being as the welding fx kit and misc lighting costs are holding me back. she's in my closet waiting to be completed. here is what I have so far: http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC00228.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC00874.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01218.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01177.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01245.jpg the shuttlebay http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01223.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01229.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01293.jpg beginning the drydock http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01219.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/brandomack/DSC01220.jpg
An amazing start. I've done some kitbashing, but scratch-building is a whole other level. I envy your talent and especially your patience. It looks like those are working warp engines. Could you use large thin sheets to cover the nacelles instead of strips or is there a method to your madness?
Wow, I can't even begin to imagine how much work must have gone into this and it's not even finished. Hope you'll someday be able to complete this beauty. Amazing work!
Nice! I really like the interior of that shuttlebay. How much of that will you be able to see once it's complete? The mini-astronauts doing construction are cute!
yes those are warp coils you see. The look i'll be going for is about 40% completed, so there will be lots of workpods buzzing about and several welding strobes flashing at different intervals. http://www.miniatronics.com/Merchan...ode=100-201-01&Category_Code=&Product_Count=0 The drydock is going to be a huge challenge, as I have to build a drydock somewhere in between this http://www.neutralzone.de/database/PreFederation/22thcentury/3FingeredDrydock.htm and this http://ncc1701.us/18.html so any suggestions will be enthusiastically welcomed! I will try to keep the sides open for viewing. thank you all for your very kind, encouraging words!
Wow, that looks simply amazing. I envy your patience - it looks like you really put a lot of work into that. Very nice job; I would love to see it when it is complete.
