1/700 RAN HMS Prometheus

I came across this concept ship ages ago while browsing the web. I believe it's a supply ship and like the shape of it a lot.


Lately, I came across a real life ship that could serve as a basis for this what-if making. The forward section of the ship has some similarity of the concept ship above.


I don't think I can make it exactly like the concept ship but I can make a what-if inspired by the concept

I've done some cutting and gluing. I have to extend the hull (aft section) as the concept ship looks to be a lot longer than the donor ship. The progress is slow as I have not completely decided what to make out of it. The donor ship is an amphibious transport ship. I don't want to completely discard that role in this what-if. For now, I'm working on the idea that its main role as a supply ship with a secondary role as light amphibious transport. It's evident in the current progress. I snatched the similar scaled V-22 and F-35B from other kits. I'd imagine that the ship will have at least one F-35B as its protection measure among other measures like CIWS. The V-22 and the hovercraft could also serve in humanitarian aids as well as transporting military vehicles.

The V-22 and F-35 certainly give an idea of size

I don't know why but the images in your first post have disappeared.

I had the lower one to start with, then it, too, disappeared,

Don't know if the image in your 2nd post is going to do the same, but it does have the same URL format.




Edit: And now they're all there!    



Design looks intriguing. be interesting to see how you approach this!

Ok, this is something worth looking at over the course of the build. I like the concept a lot

Some small update. Painted the docking interior and planned to include some simple lightning. First time doing it, will see if it would work out.
