Scratch built Cloud 9 *DONE* final pictures added

[cylon75]

I was looking to add another ship to add to my fleet of ships so i decided to scratch build Cloud 9 from BSG. Its only going to be about 6 " long and i really don't know the scale but its in line with the rest of my ships.
I started with a clock bezel that had a concave shape for the bio-dome and the rest will be made of resin here's what i got so far .

Working on the fwd section of the ship its coming together but but it hard to find good clear shots of this ship so some parts are my best guess.

I can see that you are trying, you're making a really good effort, but you need to refine your methods. First of all you have to inform yourself with the concept of scale and how to scale things.

Re: Scratch built Cloud 9 *DONE*

These are finished shots of my scratch built Cloud 9. Looking to add a ship to my fleet that i working on, I recently made a bigger case to contain it all in has given more a little more room for more ships.
This ship was made to no particular scale. I used a blown up photo to get the size that I made it,there are not a lot of good photos of this ship to go by so some of it is just a good guess but it all fits together well and it adds to my the fleet.. In the picture of the fleet the hole behind and above the Galactica is for the Pegasus that i will add latter this year when it comes out.
