2001 Space Station WIP

[Scott Graham]

Wow! Incredible build!

Thanks Scott, here's the latest pics showing the first installment of the scaffolding (1/4 of the total rim).

Oh yes! I was waiting for that scaffolding! It's going to look awesome when painted red!

Is it hard to make it a perfect circle?

 

[joberg]

Thanks Luka...yes, it's rather tricky to make a perfect circle. I'm going to buy black fabric to put as a background; it's going to be easier to see if the scaffolding is a circle or not (I don't see that well on a white background :confused). I'm eager to start the second part of the "under construction" phase.

SPECTACULAR! Critical milestone reached! Those scaffolds make ALL the difference in the world!

Holy wowser. That looks fantastic..

Are you using brass for the scaffolding ?

Very big :thumbsup

 

[joberg]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm using plastic corner for Gyproc work (you know those wall corner already L shaped) and I cut them length (no brass, weight is a factor).
I exceeded my budget by $250, so now, this model is at $650...oh well, it was bound to happen:rolleyes

J,

Any chance we can see a pic of the entire structure? AMAZING!

 

[Wheatbee]

lol I feel like I'm on drugs when I look at these photos...what a mindbending piece of work this is...bravo!

 

[joberg]

Thanks guys! And Sofa, here's a wide shot of the entire model so far!

 

[Evil Imp]

Holy moly! That is a beast. A beautiful beast.

View attachment 438901 Thanks guys! And Sofa, here's a wide shot of the entire model so far!

DAMN, I Knew it was big but not THAT big.... Wow..

 

[Mike J.]

Damn that's big. How are you going to get that out of the house?

 

[joberg]

Mike J: what do mean by "out of the house"?...btw, the entire scaffolding will be painted by hand (no choice).

 

[Mike J.]

For it's world tour! You're gonna have to knock out a wall...

 

[joberg]

Not a wall, just the door frame

 

[LukaFilm]

It's SO HUGEEEE! But seriously, where are you going to keep this monstrosity?
Oh, and btw, are you going to make a small Orion to accompany the station???

 

[joberg]

That's one of the design I'll have to produce for scaffolding (just 8 of those...has to be painted and the background is still being dressed with flooring, greeblies and more scaffolding)

Then there's this one (painted) which is supposed to be reproduced about 10 times. Those are spread around the rim in various state of finish (10 by 1/4 rim, making it 40 to build)...stay tuned, there's spaghetti in the design, more flooring and more details
