1/72 Traveller Type S Scout starship

[MartG]

1/72 starship based on the Type S design from the Traveller roleplaying game

Scratchbuilt from plasticard, with a few homemade cast resin parts











Opening cargo doors


With its baby ( 1/350 scale ) brother

It's a fair old size



Cockpit interior - though you can hardly see any of it in the finished model

nice  looking model, the orange really suits the mission, and at 100 Dtons, its quite dinky  smallest ship you can put a J drive in, its not like an Ashanti high lightning, or a battle rider 
which versions  plans did you base it off?  T4 or 5?  as ( if I remember correctly) the earlier versions were simple aero wedges, without the turret mount box.  The underside fuel scoops and the twin turret on top are nicely worked and look right for it.
Oh and which faction is the original supplier?  with Solamani writing but no faction symbology  it doesn't look particularly 3rd imperium.

It's kind of a mashup of several Type S versions - as you may be able to tell from the pic below 



I also used Ian Stead's ship book as a reference source http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/170801/Ship-BookType-S-Scout-Courier?src=hottest_filtered

lets see,
ISS ship files,  black box ship / floor plans, unrecognised 3d
mega traveller?
full colour T4? I cant remember which version had the 3 floor version, dang it. ( was it mongoose ver1?)
and Mongoose trav for the drive through book. 
yup that's certainly a good mix to pull from, and will give a fine blend of the classic  lines for her.

yes I a Trav fan, though ive read lots, and own multiple versions, ive never managed to get a game to run for more than a couple of sessions.
do you have any more? or planning on any?

Wow ! Excellent job on this one ! The port at the back is cool, makes me want to play with it. And is it ever huge ! How much does it weigh ?

How much does it weigh ?

Errr - not sure - I've sold it and it's now in the US. Under 2kg anyway - as it's hollow it's fairly light for its size.
