Had a chance to hang out w/ Al and see the Betty up close. Pics do not do the work he's doing justice....it's simply awesome.

Keep going Al....can't wait to see her finished.

going to start on the cockpit today, might have some pics later.

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Heres the start of the flight deck. a very rough start. im using urethane foam to carve it out. got the basic side profile and began to shape it. going to really take my time on this. i think its the main part that really needs to be perfect.

Heres a few pics. questions, comments feel free.

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Looks like a good start.

Anywhere to go for reference pictures in order to try and help?
 
Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Thanks.

Ive got a little more done on the Flight deck, still need to square some things up and add the details and shape the bottom, but its getting there.

Thanks Al

Nice Al can't wait to see the cockpit fitted up under the cone!!:thumbsup
You got that on the first try, glad you didn't have to start over on it!:lol
 
Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Got a little more done on this. still need to finish the underside, just roughed it out, and sand and re prime. fix the front a little and then add all the window moldings and detail parts. heres a few WIP pics.

Thanks Al

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

Thanks guys. I have to say this cockpit has to be the hardest part of the whole ship.

Started fitting the cockpit under the cone. had to hog out the foam and slowly fit it up there. im very close now, just a little more sanding it will be there. once im satisfied with the fit i will add the window moldings and plate detail. Also still need to clean up the underside. here s a few pics.

Thanks for looking.
