Thanks Jake. The main structure is made from High Impact Polystyrene or HIPS. It's durable and holds a formed shape very well.Man that looks so clean. Is it foamboard?

Thx Larsen, Galactica is a cool build. I'd love to build the original ship large scale.Super update bro...
Nice to see it's moving on. It's sometimes hard keep up the MOJO.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the process and the image of your tools.
I totally agree... the search for the process sometimes takes a lot of time.
I have a new BSG on the shelf, trying to rebuild the paneling by sanding away the material between the ribs... It's a nightmare. Atm I'm stuck on the flight pods and the sideribs on the head.
Anyway, this thing looks so cool. Superb work.
Excactley... The contemplating is half the fun, and it does not cost anything. Half the time it put on one of my favorite movies hvile thinking about a problem, sometimes I end up just watching the movie, but it helps my brain to get some perspective.Thx Larsen, Galactica is a cool build.

Ya I'm a true believer that if you step away and come back to things, a better solution will present itself. The problem with this is that it takes me forever to get anything done. I guess half the fun is just staring at the model and figuring out how you're going to construct that next section. Good times.
Too funny I do this also. Put a movie on for reference or just to have on in the background and end up watching it.Excactley... The contemplating is half the fun, and it does not cost anything.

BTW it's just the Revell bag...
Have you seen the scratch build version by gt350pony? It's incredible.

You're a lucky man to have family that enjoy your hobbies as well. I have 2 boys that have no interest in hobbies that aren't connected to a game controller.Casual references...
Not to be taken lightly... And it sets the mood nicely.
I've managed to spend entire Sundays with both kids, one of them modeling or painting a model, while the other one was watching a movie... Then we'd switch and the other kid would work on their model and the first one would watch the movie...
All in one room... It was a blast.
We got through episode IV, V and VI in that fashion.
That looks so cool.View attachment 1624001
Spent a couple hours working on the wing vents today. More of the same process, cutting out the area and gluing in a sloping insert. Some vanes still to be added later.
Also posted a few photos of the process using my 2 favorite tabletop tools.
Trying to keep focused on this one. I recently received a Skyhopper kit that I'm moon lighting with on the side.

Thx Larsen. I believe most of us here would love that job. But I'm just a Hobbyist that finds scratch building enjoyableThat looks so cool.
Are you a professional model builder?
Very true. Ya I'm still determined to get this one completed before too long.Sometimes it's necessary to walk away. Pending WIPs are part of the hobby.
I hope you get back to it
I agree. Not sure really what their use is? But yes, coolness factor is importantThose vanes are really adding a cool vibe to that model
