I decided to dive into another Studio-Scale project today:

Its just a start- many revision and a lot more work to come.

Thanks Kurt- an enthusiastic thumbs-up from you is always very motivating for me!!

Still not sure about the kit possbilities. Job one is to see if I can make this good enough to justify dropping it in silicone. Job two is figuring out what the costs would be for such an endeavor- its a big puppy and would be a really big (expensive!) mold job!!

I can't wait to view more of this piece! :D You are doing a beautiful job!
 
Went back and corrected a lot of shapes- just wasn't happy with the way some things were coming out. I took some 'weight' out of the middle- litterally cut the thing in half down the middle to do it. I also reworked the wings- the geometry on this thing is a real headache!

Try to look past the putty, marker, and cut lines (lot of sanding to do soon!):

Again, still don't know how identical I'm coming to the original studio model, but at least now all the lines end up the right places.

I'm fast approaching the step of figuring out detailing under the tail and bottm- there's pretty much NO reference out there, so I may have to 'wing it'. I have and ID on exactly two parts from the Airfix Saturn V- other than that it will be pure speculation. But at least this beastie will be big and look good next to the SS Starfighter.

It looks much better now......I had the SMT kit,which I had to sell,and it looked about 80% there..your is looking so much better now that you took the weight out of the middle.I think you can find pics of the built up on Cult,that should help.The talon landing gear will be tricky,I think I have screen caps of them somewhere,I'll look around.I love this ship when I first saw it.alex


P.S.found the file,send me a PM with your e-mail,I'll send you what I have to see if it helps.

I've got a few screen caps of the gear, but I'd love to see anything you've got. Still not sure if I'll do the gear- I'm sure I will after I get this finished, but right now I can't even think that far ahead!!
