So here is the next step....  ;) (as i've lost :unsure: thr SD card containing intermediate pics :angry:)

And the big shock !


Well, i must admit this resembles to...  :unsure: More or less... nothing !! :lol:
But it's a matter of time, work, and faith ! ;D

A pic with some building explanation :

There's also a lot of miliput..., a lot of sanding, a 1/72 hasegawa panther mantlet (but where ! :lol:)  and still more plasticard ! :rolleyes:

Heh - like the direction this is going in... :thumbsup:

The Panther mantlet is on the back of the upper "fin".

I've got a 1/32nd Revell Hueycobra too, with no interior or weapons now, and I've thought several times about chopping it up into something sci-fi.

Interesting asymmetry on the "arms".

Who said it has to resemble anything? It's sci-fi, it only has to resemble itself! :thumbsup:





I really should get back to my build for the Starship Modelers Spacefighters II GB from................ ca. 2010/11!? :blink:

After a avery long building, the Alcubierre has leaved the space docks a few days ago... <_<

And now, she is ready for the first tests ! ;D



The upper arm homes the grasers and the gravitic entanglement projectors, and the lower arm emits from a round metallic plate a huge flux of dark matter particles to create a black hole just in front of the ship.... ;D
So, the space contracts... But it's just the beginning of the experiment !!! :lol:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Looks like a space crustacean to me, great work
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Ditto.

How big is it (the model I mean)?
I can get no sense of size from your pics.

Very, very good. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:  Has that botched-up look (the concept, not the model!) that testbeds have, a freighter or such with stuff banged on because it's what was available at the time.

Great stuff!
:party:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
