Hi! I made another thing. This time, it's a starship.

Before:

After:

The overall dimensions are accurate, the tiny details....not so much.

It's 70cm long, and 30cm wide. No lights, no moving parts.

It was a load of fun to build.

I've written a bit of a description of the build process here: http://www.colonpipe.com/builds/how-i-made-the-enterprise-out-of-stuff-from-the-hardware-store

Thoughts appreciated. Be gentle. This thing was made from plumbing.
 
Thank you! It was a fun project. Considering trying something a bit more ambitious next. Same kind of approach, but a crazier thing.

I totally recommend making something silly every so often!
 
Allow me to address something obvious: They look ridiculous. The reason for this is that I had hoped they would not look ridiculous, and my hope failed me.

Your writing is hilarious! And great build too!
 
Groovy. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in making sure everything is as detailed/screen accurate that we forget to have fun and just build something. Awesome job.
