The ship was the best thing about the film.

And you're one of a small handful of folks on the board who can make it happen.

The ship was the best thing about the film.

I loved the film but I still agree with this. And if anyone can do this ship justice, it's TheNylonGag.

I seriously considered a 2-3 foot long version of this a year ago. I'm so glad you're doing it! I'll keep a eye on this one for sure.

Then lets go......
Had a few foam spots to fill,

Sanded with 80 grit on a sanding block for basic shape, we will get finer later, righ now i'm only interested in basic form

Installed two tubes to begin the internals for the rear section, cut to length and screwed in place, with a spacer cut and dry fit on the very back

Added some more foam fill-ins on the rear

Marked,

And cut the forward bulk head

Marked, cut and boxed off the rear section of the forward bulk head

Main body ready for epoxy resin sealer layer

Painted with a layer of resin and left to dry for 24 hours

Marked and cut 1/8 thick styrene to position as key blend/ transition points

Boxed in the forward neck section with 1/8" styrene sheet

Started to box in the rear section

Front,

Back

Bondo'ed up ready to sand

Gunna let it dry real good and then give her a bit of a sand
But thats next time folks
Until then
Stay frosty

Looks good. Looking forward to seeing more progress.
A little tip for working with Bondo in the future. If you let it get to the rubbery stage before it's fully hardened and then hit it with a surform, it makes life a lot easier.
