Thanks Albertese-san, Jim-san.

Jim-san,

If you find anything wrong with my model in a bigger screen, just close your eyes

Oops, sorry had my eyes closed... :lol

Katsu-san,
even on a bigger screen it looks great. As always.
Not too many lines and colours.

Can't wait to see the ship logo and the patch mark .

Nice paint! And I'm digging the shuttle.
How in the world do you work so fast? It's mind boggling...

 

[SmilingOtter]

Both the Explorer and the shuttle (which was such a great surprise) are looking beautiful.

Now you have me wondering if the mother ship would land and leave the Explorer, or if there was a dedicated landing ship to bring it down...

Whichever one it is, this genius needs to build it next lol.

Thank you sean-san!

It has been also a long time since I did a detailed paint job and weatherng.
Dry brushing, washing with an enemel paint and thin brush and cotton sticks.
Those are aged technique by now. May be I should lean any new technique.

:lol The blank decal sheet for laser printer was arrived yesterday.
I will fix the design and feed it to the laser copy machine at the convenient store in a few days.

Thank you, Axlotl-san.

I will try vacuforming for the canopy this time.
I made a plug already. I hope I can make it.

Thank you, Tom-san.
I was thinking there is an unmanned deploying /recovering craft for this
and a ....... Hey! I'm not going to build anything like that anymore.:lol

 

[yuumi2891103]

Whichever one it is, this genius needs to build it next lol.

Oh, no,no,no! Tom-san ! That's what I'm afraid of!

At least four big thrusters will be in need for the deploying/recovering craft.
And a large container and big hull to hold it. And some stiff landing gears.

No, no way.......:facepalm

 

[JediMichael]

Haven't checked in here in a while...and wow, this thing is just insane. Great job. I already have good ideas that I can do with it in photoshop.

 

[SmilingOtter]

Well, if the Explorer is pressurized, you could deploy and recover it like this:

(only more science-fictiony)

Wow, thanks jediMichael-san! So that I can see your graphic magic soon.

That's really inspiring !! 'Skycrane'
I love those big helicopter. CH-53 is my favolite.

Of course the vehicle is 100m water proof and pressurized hull.
So it can carry with the craft like this and I ......... No no no

 

[SmilingOtter]

You realize, I hope, that I'm (mostly) teasing. You build whatever you want - every model you've shown us has been incredible.

 

[yuumi2891103]

Thanks, Tom-san.
I drew some scketch yesterday. It will be on my 'wish to build list' for sure.

By the way, in accordance with the request from my financial minister, I will start to build the decoration object upon the wall above the fireplace.
This was postponed almost a year ever since the order. It will be a semi 3D industrial cityscape in 4 feet square windowframe.
I've already bought some materials.
I will post up when I'm ready.

Ooooh that sounds awesome. Cannot wait to see it!

Another wok of art! Well done, Katsu-San,

 

[yuumi2891103]

Thanks, friends,

Here's a original emblem.

I drew this with MS Excel and convert to PDF and fed to the laser printer.
I studied Hopi's art and some design of their symbol.

Here's a solution.






It's abit late at night but I put them on the vehicle. It's kind a test fitting.

























I hope you like it.

Phew...

Katsu-san -- I've just been catching up to all the fine builds. Your creativity is astounding!

 

[Caretaker10]

Hi Katsu-san,

I like it. Original design with this Hopi inspired logo..
Very down to earth.

Jim

 

[Albertese]

The logo's rim has 23 stars... is that significant?
