Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

I learn so much by watching your build. I knew that foam could be a good thing to use to carve out good base- but you took it all to such a level of precision... really good work.

Thanks, I love carving foam, its such a fun medium to work with. will update later today or tomorrow.

The video of the new Betty is sweet! Definitely looking forward to you finishing her up Al.

Pity you cant' get them to cast some pieces out of those molds......

Nice job! Not sure how accurate this is, but thought it was interesting.

Looks a little thick around the waist, eh? Otherwise, pretty cool...

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Added more details to the flight deck, need to scribe panel lines and a few small details. (fertility idol used for scale)

Thanks for looking.

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Al, just curious... Are all the detail parts along the center of that bottom pic shifted to the left and a little off-center? If so, is that intentional to match the studio model? Love seeing the progress.

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

I was looking at that last night. it must just be the way i took the picture. it looks fine on the pattern, ill try and take a better picture tonight.

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Figured it was something like that. I love this ship!

 

[balboa]

Awesome!

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

I made the mold for the first two cargo boxes, and cast the pieces. and also got the lower piece with some panel lines and details. next i will mold the cone and and engine detail parts and begin working on how to mold the cockpit, which should be a fun little mold.

Thanks for looking.
