At that stage, that kitbash reminds me of Pearl Forrester's "Widow-Maker" from "Mystery SCience Theater 3000".

Thanks all!

Someone over on HobbyTalk is approaching the same subject from the opposite direction.

Cool! Got a link?

I know you meant the styrene kitbash in-line linked above, but here's a page showing what is ldentified as the "the" actual WidowMaker prop used in MST3K.

I've seen a reproduction that employed, ahem, "personal massage" devices as the rocket thrusters. (Yes, I had the gall to use the word "thrusters" in the same sentence as "personal massage" devices.)

Sincerely,

You know, I didn't realize until you said this that scotpens' post had an image in it. Apparently the firewall is blocking it.

These are fantastic. They brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Nothing "new" today, but I posted this over in Forbin's thread:

Some fun I was having turning on/off layers!

Just a demonstration of the different layers I used on the shuttlecraft. Left column has the "lines" layer off, right column on. Alternate rows have the "shading" layer on & off. And the lower half has the "colors" layer on.

It does make for a nice effect with different layers on/off.

 

[Sarvek]

Totally amazing. Great work.

And if you've seen some of my other work, you know I couldn't leave well enough alone!

OhhhhhhhNooooooooooooo!!!!

 

[Redfern]

Which is causing the "gag reflex"?

The thought of belittling Trek with Transformers?

...or...

Maybe he just doesn't like yellow.

 

[publiusr]

Hey, the yellow one looks more like the sub from Thunderbird 2

Went to Boy Scout summer camp for a week as a Scoutmaster, then we had Independence Day, so I got a bit off-track. But here's a new one for today!

 

[Sarvek]

The Doctor is in. Great work, BJ.

I guess I could say, "My other shuttle is the Tardis."

 

[Ptrope]

And THAT is how that interior fit into that airframe!

Daw! You beat me to it, Ptrope!

This looks like it could belong on TAS.

Thanks! Yeah, the simple shading model would fit in quite nicely.

Good new Shuttle there

 

[trynda1701]

After publiusr mentioning the Bumblebee look resembled Thunderbird 4, what about the other Thunderbirds?

Or any other Gerry Anderson craft for that matter!

If you had a better angle to show the roof, you could do a General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard. ;-)
