That just looks amazing

Thanks guys

I was lucky to get some free time this afternoon, so I took some pictures of where I am currently up to

I have been working on this as well as the Batmobile and have actually got quite a bit done. I have cemented my base plans and I'll show you a picture later on of what I have in mind. So, I have been casting multiple copies of my very expensive 3D printed DS tile ready to layout on the sheet and that has consumed a fair amount of time so far, but TBH, it's not hard to mix up a batch of resin  and make a copy while waiting for the spuds to cook or what have you.

The surface detailing is coming along nicely. The main concentrations have been finished and now its just time to fill it out and then crack on with the side walls (what I have also started but not got very far with)










And this is rough layout of how the base is going to go:



Well, that's it for this update, but the next one will likely be the completion of the lower hull and more work on the base

As always, thanks for continually coming in here and having a look

You'd think I'd be used to it by now but, nope, I'm always in awe!

Thanks guys 
I'm really happy with how the base is coming together. I've reorientated the channel direction as well. It'll look so much better when the layers come in.
I need to take another molding of the master and a good cast example to make a 2 part mold. Increase productivity a bit
Im also pretty happy with my scratch built tractor beam thingies too. Saved me buying 3D parts

And the winner in this years "Art of Understatement Class" is ........................... 

The level of detail knocks spots off a lot of cinema and t.v. props. As always I'm simply stunned.

EXACTLY my own thoughts Chris, it's AWESOME!

Hi everyone

Thought I would update this quickly while I had some spare time. As I have said previously, I have made a good start on the base. Most of my time has been spent making casts but I have actually cemented stuff together. The main service trench has been made and I am now making the lower level details. I've tried to make it look under construction but I think I may have made it also look like it's destroyed. Not sure which yet.naturally, there will be some lighting in amongst all this to give it more life.

I've quite enjoying making the base so far and if it goes like what's in my head, then this will be awesome. Maybe even better than the ship? Too early to say but here's where I am at currently:


















Well, that's it for now but once I'll update again once I have something worthwhile showing

As always, thanks for stopping by and having a look

This goes no way towards assuaging my doubts about your mental health...

[Old Wombat]

May be an idea to lighten it up a bit, & maybe add some bare metal accents?

Otherwise, I'm still in awe.

Nup.. out of superlatives.

Your level of effort is exhausting me.. and I am only watching

[PR19_Kit]

I say again, 'WHAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!'

Sums up my thoughts perfectly

The thing is that the prop builders for films and T.. shows have a limited amount of time where as sykotik can take as long as he likes
