My next project is another image of concept art I found online. No artist was listed, but you can see it's from a stock photo site. It could even be AI generated. I vertically flipped the image for a more agreeable view for me. And of course, only this one angle is available, but that's the challenge for me. I may be asking for trouble since the hull color appears to be black, or a very dark grey, but it’s definitely different. Opinions on colors welcome.
It’s probably an alien craft, but even with no “obvious” artillery, it still looks menacing.
I worked out dimensions and drew up a pencil sketch. 22.5” (571mm) long and 14 1/8” (358mm) wide. The thickness is to be decided……
I broke down the ship in to individual sub asemblies. I began with the saucer section on top, an obvious Millennium Falcon theft. I made templates from manila card, then I traced those onto styrene.
Began gluing in place onto two separate styrene bottom plates…..I'll explain the reason for two plates later..
When that dried, inserted wood spacers…
Began skinning the outside…
Some minor panel detailing….
Till next time...
