That's what I wanted to ask and hear!
I couldn't imagine when it's done.
And I believe we have seen nothing yet. :love

Any finished pictures of your smaller scaled version?

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Stormy, the smaller version is on hold.


Thanks Katsu. it has to have a full cockpit or why else build it.




Got the main saucer layer sanded and primed and started cutting the rings around it. also more on the cargo boxes, will mold those this week. also a little X men action with the X jet, still rough sanded and needs to be trued up.

Thanks for looking.

Wow that's a great update the cone and boxes look sick....

holding the cone!:thumbsup

 

[Damocles]

Looking sweet with the cargo boxes on Al. I completely forgot about the X jet, been a long time since I saw that haha!

 

[yuumi2891103]

Too much sweet pics for me Al-san. I'll gain weight !!:lol

 

[LastBattlestar]

Now that's studio scale building! It's gonna be a monster when the thrusters and hydraulic arms go on. Can't wait to see all the technical greeblie go on.

Lovin' it Al, just lovin' it.

Are you using Shell Shock as your gel coat?

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Thanks Guys. its really coming along now. with the engines on this it will be crazy big. will have to move it to its rolling stand by then. ordering silicone today so will mold the boxes later this week and cast them by the weekend.


Shizman. im sorry i forget to get you that gelcoat. Smooth-on sells it buts its not by them. its an industrial gelcoat. i picked white because thats what the studio used for theres, plus it looks a lot cleaner and easier to see plus when you glue styrene on it it all blends in and has an even look to it.

But ill get you the product info today. sorry for that.

That is really looking fantastic. What a beautiful build.
Love that X-jet teaser too. That will be a great piece as well.

 

[Ray22]

Don't know how I missed your latest pics your making some good progress Al., and the X-Jet looks slick.

OK, got all the pulls we need for the cone done and started cutting the layers. still need to trim a little. not going to rush this part its such an important part of the model. some pics make the part look bigger than it is. i guess i should of just left the settings alone. oh well. should have the cargo boxes all done by the weekend and the cone will be farther along. heres a few pics for today.

Thanks for looking.

I found a mag the other day & I thought of you

I hope they're usefull to you, if you want them bigger (A4) I can send them to you via Email but they are a little grainy, my scanner's a bit old :$

Edit: I also have the book 'The making of Alien Resurrection' It also has some images of the Betty.

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]
