First Reban FTL-Ship "Ukumka"

[Rheged]

Every time I come back to this thread it never ceases to please... great work

Exactly, what are we going to do when it's finished ? 

Party, Reban style!     

Agreed, but do we really need to wait until it is completed?     Every single stage of this build is party-worthy!

Party, Reban style!     

The Rebans heard something about a party, so the came up over here and want to join.....

You asked what happens if this space ship will be completed (still a way to go), I think I have some ideas for a next project. But this one will be definitely smaller and not so complex. But it will include Rebans of course.

Now that the upper engine torus is complete, it was time to put everything together. Always an exciting moment to see if everything fits and does not break when putting together.
So here we go, Decks 0-9 of the "Ukumka". Three more decks are missing: Science Deck, Command Deck and Gun deck.







The hull has a diameter of 10 cm, the engine torus 20cm. The deck height is between 2,5 - 4 cm.


Construction for the science deck is now completed and I started to print everything for it.

...The hull has a diameter of 10 cm, the engine torus 20cm. The deck height is between 2,5 - 4 cm...

Smaller than I thought.  For some reason I was thinking it was about twice that size.  Which makes it even more impressive.

Seriously impressive!

STREWTH!

Looks great.

Now I am curious what the top (front?) will end up looking like.

Flippin' Ada as they used to say 

That's marvellous

@zenrat: This was the feedback I always got form the pictures. But bigger would be no option, where to put it when it's done? And for reference, those Rebans on board are 9 mm in size.

@philip: A good point, I still have not decided in which option I will go here. But I have not thought of it in detail so far, now that the sciece deck has been designed, I have to concentrate on the command deck next.

My engineer return from vacation full of energy, so the next parts of the Reban space ship could be printed.

All the "big" ones for the science deck.

The base deck and the interior walls


Testing the upper cabin section, but it fits as it should


Combining all inner wall parts


Putting everything together. Seems as if no major error was made during construction


Now lets begin to paint everything

[NARSES2]

Glad you had a good time on holiday    There's certianly some progress there

Work continues on the science deck

Some of the "bigger" parts have been assembled




Working on the interior of the different sections of the deck.
