1/48 Scale SHADO Sky 1

[DonS]

Been working on this for a few months, recently got the CAD master pattern parts from the printer:








Parts cleanup work then molding will be started now. CAD model for Diver is currently under construction.

Thanks for looking!

Nice work. What will be the final length once the Skydiver is done?

 

[DonS]

Thanks! The full SkyDiver will be 30". Sky 1, about 11".

Here's a casting of the Sky 1 kit. And the Diver CAD model is nearly done.

Looks great! Will the 'glass' be cast resin, or will there be a alternative? Not a fan of clear resin, usually.

 

[DonS]

It'll be cast resin only, sorry!

Looks great, but please can you do an Interceptor, and a big one- 1/24 would be perfect? :thumbsup

 

[Tony Hardy]

Looks fabulous! I'm interested in a kit if you release them.

Thanks! It is being released and you can see details at the donshoko site in my signature.

Yorkie, I do want to do an interceptor, partly because it'a great design, partly for the challenge. It's a deceptively tough shape to get right and the only one I've seen who nailed it was David Sisson.

Thanks for the info. I'll be placing an order with you in June!

 

[DonS]

Thank you!

Received mine today. Looks fantastic. Needs a bit of a clean up but overall very nice casting. Thanks Don, can't wait for the Diver section then I can dive straight in :lol

 

[DonS]

Glad you like it, thanks!

 

[DonS]

CAD model for Diver is done:

Won't be printed for a few months until after I begin casting the 1/1000 Enterprise D.
