I have a dream!!!!

...and the tail...

Well...so far...Im very pleased. We have realized that we have some choices with the differences between the CG models and the 1:1. I think for the interior we will do our best to do the 1:1. For the exterior Im leaning towards the detailed CG...what do you all think?

I can tell you guys. From working on drawings, that tail section is a bear. Great work there Cap'n.

Hi Coby.

The tail end actually wasn't as difficult as it looks; the cabin and the main hatch however... What a FRACKing pain those were :lol

 

[cobywan]

I think the wings will work out OK for you though. I did quite a bit of head scratching on them. Let me know if you need more info.

Damn this is going to be sweet

Thanks again Coby....

Im suprised the back wasn't harder looked like a pain to me too.

 

[Jestefarean]

and each day it gets a little closer.

Early update this time as it won't be getting worked on over the weekend. Im starting to get jazzed as it starts to look more real. Hope you enjoy.

 

[Jestefarean]

Tail is coming together...as is the main fuselage. Wings will be a big project soon.

Approve .?.? H*** yes . It's great to see these projects coming together. The detail and quality of the work speaks for itself. Being a scratch builder myself, I know what goes into this kinda work and it's wonderful to see it happen. Because of guys like you, Frank and Morten,and Kip, a lot of people are getting their hands on "dream kits" ... and it's really nice to get a kit of the ships you love from a show or movie, while it's still on the air.
For me at least, it has been a very happy and inspiring summer ... takes me back to the 'old days' of Star Wars, Buck Rogers, Space 1999, and Battlestar... when I could watch the show, then go out and get the kits. ... and from the comments of others, I think a lot of people feel the same.
Keep on inspiring us .

BEAUTIFUL.................... Why, oh why did they muck up that design with the bubble canopy though, she looks even better with that flat look that she has now.

Yeah...while I understand the functionality, I prefer the appearence of the flat canopy as well.

 

[cobywan]

I actually question the functionality. The pilot's head is nowhere near the front pane of glass. I think they threw that in there to set it apart from the Aliens dropship profile. That or they needed it a bubble for camera work.

 

[Jestefarean]

thats an interesting point...I wonder if it's for camera work...

 

[Jestefarean]

..and now new and improved...with WINGS....

:confused

:lol
