PRINCESS ARDALA'S LAUNCH

[GEEK1138]

OK not my usual wheelhouse but a very cool ship to tackle. I did watch this show; Buck Roger's in the 25th Century, back in the day, but really don't remember the props so much.
Anyway, in collaboration with another RPF member who has done all the heavy lifting in terms of research and and reference, I am attempting to produce a printable SS model, including all the kit parts, as ID'd by my colleague, of this classy little number.

I'm pretty much done with the main hull and head and am working my way thru the kits and ancillary details;

This reminded me of a similar Valkyrie ship from Battle Beyond the Stars--cab removable here too?

All the Draconian ships were awesome in that series. The hatchet fighter especially was an amazing design. How they all were similar yet different. Very cool ships. Can’t wait to see!

So that's the front 'mouth' done...bit of guess work here as no real pics...which means the modelling is finished for this puppy;
