The hitch is wonderful. Absolutely epic in context. I just love the whole look of the back end.

That is truly epic detail. Just top miniature work.

The subtlety of the flashlights and then those well-groomed mechanics, just tastfull.

I figure I'll drive over in the morning, spend the day, and drive back before it gets dark. Should be plenty of time. We'll see how this compares to WonderFest in Louisville.

Well not even the IPMS nationals that I've been to (although I can't believe I missed last year's nationals here in Orlando) have been as crazy as what I've seen from Wonderfest. But there's always tons of gorgeous pieces to admire, drool and photograph over..... Including this awesome giant piece of plastic and other bits! Looking forward to seeing it in person!

Evenin All,

Well after 527 posts and 47280 views i think i'm finally there.


I've had such fun building this thing for the last 1 year and 11 months, and its been great to have you guys along for the ride.

So these are the finishing touches.

Attached some hydraulic links

Gave everything a black pastel wash then hit it with AK products.

I then hit the main engine vector thrust flaps with some flat black on the outside edges.

I then installed the main engines in the fairings

The back finished.

I then messed about with some more lights for around the Airlock and in the back by the hitch assembly, It just looked so dark. I didn't take any pictures of the process i just did it quick using cheap battery powered LED lights from the supermarket, $5;99 for two clusters of three LEDs, with microswitch and battery link up. Ten minutes of soldering and Bingo.

Then I moved everything into the dinning room for some final pictures.

Flaps up,

And down.

Underside and rear docking Vector thrusters,

Main Engine

Nose detail

Top view.

'Kiko'

I will try to take some better pictures but its so bloomin big.


(that's what she said)

I thank you for your support, it has been very much appreciated.


Take care

See you soon............

Gagsterman

Over and Out.

What an awesome finish!!!!!! I love everything that you have done on this amazing journey. Your creation could be used in any science fiction movie and be the star of the show.

The question is where do you go from here? What will be the subject of your next creation? What ever it is, I'll be watching.

Lovely, lovely work, Gag! Are you quite sure it's finished? I can see a tow hitch with nothing on it, where's the cargo?

Re: Scratch Built Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1

Thank-you for the ride. It has been an adventure! I have learned a lot from this experience, and I hope to use it, one day, towards my own projects. You are truly an artist, my friend. Thank-you!:cheers

To me it looks like the Nostromo and the Millenium Falcon had a baby and its BEAUTIFUL! The plumbing on the engines looks so realistic I cant believe my eyes! You really created something special! Great work!

I have watched this all the way. Probably the first time I have done that. and there has never been a point where I was disappointed or the new updates and photos have taken my breath away. Thank you for an awe inspiring build, it was a great journey and only one question...Does it come in red cozz...red ones go faster.

What a thing of beauty... I have just found this build thread and had to go thru it all without pausing.
Maybe I have missed it but what are the final dimensions of the ship (btw, do you plan to give her a name) ?
Astounding work, details, paintjob and all. Applause!
