Rel,

Are you still planning to do this as a Vac-Formed kit?

My intention was to make this a vac kit but I don't have a vac machine, and I found out the process involved in making the master would've been way too much for me to deal with so it'll be fiberglass.

Good. I had detail concerns regarding a Vac Kit - awesome to hear that its going back to fiberglass...

Can't wait to see more shots.

Thank you.

I reworked a few minor things to get them more accurate.

 

[Studio Stasis]

I am so jealous of your model building abilities. I wish I could complete my 41" Excelsior and make it look half this accurate.

 

[REL]

Thank you.

Here's a scale reference with the Art Asylum Ent E.

Most impressive.

[Tripper]

Holy crap. Looks awesome.

 

[REL]

Thank you.

Here's an update showing how the saucer and secondary hull will join. I got the seam as perfect as I could, the kit should join together with little or no putty.

This kit is getting better and better everytime. I´m looking forward to building one next winter

Thanks.

I primered today to look for imperfections.

Just a quick update.

Hey. I've got the same DVD player as you.

Nice model too.

 

[ShowCraft]

Beautiful work thus far. Looking forward to seeing the first casting. WIP pics are great... keep them coming.

Hi there,

I agree it's looking beautiful. How will you be offering the kit? Do you have any idea as to the price yet?

Thanks
Bill

That is really looking good.
I would be interested in a kit if your offering it as well.
Amazing.

Any updates on this? looking forward to seeing more

 

[REL]

I've been busy this week with my day job, but there'll be an update this weekend or by the middle of next week for sure.

Thanks.

Are you hand cutting your panels or do you use a laser cutter?

 

[REL]

I'm hand cutting them.

 

[Kuhn Global]

Your abilities continue to impress me Richard.

NICE WORK.
