Hi everyone! I have started a new project this year: building the Hyperion battlecruiser from Starcraft 2.
So what is it?
The Battlecruiser is a super massive spaceship from Starcraft, a military scifi videogame which also inspired me to build my three previous costumes (The Ghost, The Hydralisk and The Archon). It is equipped with a large array of firing weapons while also being heavily armored. It’s basically a giant space fortress which provide oribital support and occasionally air strikes during complex missions.
For the build: no 3D print, simple materials: cardboard, foam, glue and inner wood structure for support. Reference used will be the 3d model found in the Starcraft 2 editor. It will be a long ride but I will “set the course! take it slow! and make it happen!".

Now let us commence!

I will update the photos and videos as I progress.

How big is this thing going to be when completed?
about 3 meters in length?
2.5 meters across
This would be better hosted in general modelling, wouldn't it?
yes I think it’d be better there for now. I posted here because I plan to make the Commander suit when the model will be done as part of the whole costume project. If a moderator could kindly switch this into the model section, it’d be nice!
 
Here are the new progress photos of the higher deck level:

That looks really amazing! Love Starcraft 2, so I'm very interested in how things turn out. Good luck!
Thank you! I’m like fanatic about the game since I was a kid

Here are some new progress photos
I added all the small details around the Head Part. Left the window panels open for when I start wiring the lights and “populate” the decks with some “crewmates” ;)

Ok so that looks just outlandishly amazing!!! I'm not only impressed at the level of detail you're putting in this, but the whole thing is made from cardboard! One of the most common and basic materials in the world, and you're using it to do amazing work. Once again great job!
 
Oh wow, totally missed this whole project. And quite the project it looks to be....taking up the whole house.


I made the one from Starcraft 1, but still added a few differences with a whole story of why. A battlecruiser is just a fun ship overall.
Mine is about 2 feet long.

And the whole build.
 
This is amazing! And I'm no stranger to yuge cardboard projects myself:
