laser cutting the parts for the truss-support detail under the domes.
I had made all these parts from basswood but decided they weren't strong enough so now they are of much stronger acrylic.

the finished parts - acrylic for the sides and thin styrene for the delicate front parts.

...and installed

This build just gets better and better.

This has gone beyond being a model and is more of a
work of art. Can't wait to see this finished.

Awesome job.

Thanks guys.

The under side portion of the 15 domes are now complete. With a grand total of over 5400 individual pieces.

Re: BSG Agro Ship / Botanical Cruiser

Now you're just showing off, which is okay, since you have stuff worth showing off.

Re: BSG Agro Ship / Botanical Cruiser

OMG !!! :eek

Is the part count of 5,400 pieces just for the domes, or the whole ship ??

You must have the eyes of a hawk, the hands of a surgeon and the patience of a saint.

Looking forward more.

Re: BSG Agro Ship / Botanical Cruiser

Fascianating project, building a real 3D model based on a CGI model. It is the perfect demonstration of the flaws of CGI models, I know this because I build CGI models for a living. My point is most evident in the details,it is nearly impossible for CGI modellers due to the time constrains to get the randomness and interesting shapes one would get building the old fashioned way using model kits for details. That said I am loving this project, look how much better the unfinished model pictures look compaired the CGI shots. When it's done with the paint and the weathering it will be glorious.

Re: BSG Agro Ship / Botanical Cruiser

Yeah, the details are something that's not as easy to do in CG, but the real advantage is the freedom of filming, where you aren't restricted in any way for the shots you want, and that if you wanted you could have as many copies of an object as you want, whether that's a whole ship or just a part.

Yes, that's the part count just for the platforms for the domes.

I am a rather patient person I'm told, don't know how saintly though :angel
