SS Betty (Alien Resurrection)

Just tried a Different Primer, Normally i use Duplicolor. which its not bad, not as good as it used to be, but good enough. The other day i ran out so i decided to try the Rustoleum filler primer. an wow it worked great, dried fast and didnt clog the paper at all. and its cheaper than the duplicolor. and can get it at home depot. just thought you guys might like to know, for you builders out there.

Started on the patterns for the Engine supports, these will be molded and made of Epoxy fiberglass.

Thanks for looking.

smaller version you were making! Damn this thing
is a monster and a half looking excellent Al!:thumbsup
 
Got some more parts done. My friend Jason Lathed turned the small part that goes in the engine supports, this will be cast and molded and 4 parts added to the support. also got the part on top behind the cone in primer. and also added some panels to the rear part still need to add more and scribe panel lines. More soon.


Thanks for looking.

A kit of this beast?! How would you cast that? Fiberglass?
Click to expand...

It would be in Epoxy Glass. of just the parts. you would have to make your own body.

But just to be clear. this thing is huge. about 5 feet long and 5.5 to 6 feet wide depending on how you orient the main engines.


But for the rite price could be talked into it.

WOW! Didnt know it was THAT large!I wish I had the room for it,but after the SS Im currently working on I wouldnt have the space.
Jed-what about the smaller one are you gonna kit that?:love
 
Yeah its a cool ship. i just hate that you cant see the detail in the movie its so dark. and from what i was told about the betty the production guys weathered it so heavily it drowned out the cool tiger stripe paint job they did..

Yes I read that the director of photography was responsible for that... paranoid about glossy reflections.... such a shame....

Your great work is continuing and I'm loving watching it.

Cheers,

Jase.
