Re: Medical Frigate / Nebulon B studio scale build

Where the correct Entex shuttle SRB pieces are used is determined by matching up the mold flash in the nosecone opening to pics of the SRB's on the studio model. This will be explained more later in the build.


This is the correct piece for here.

Duplicating the square EMA and plastruct tubing above the SRB was a real chore.

I took great care to match the angles and slight bends in the piping.

I just unearthed these, too. Two are of the close up sections, but hey - Frigate pics.

Thanks Jason.
Nice view of the front stalactite and the rear image is well lit by the camera flash showing those "V" brackets between the upper engines.

Man, this studio model was rough even when it was new.
 
Re: Medical Frigate / Nebulon B studio scale build

It really was! Are those brackets off a truck trailer?

Mr Jim Showcraft,

I just looked through your BSG build and then found this thread.

You skills are ourstanding Sir.

Your attention to detail is nothing short of jaw dropping.

What do you do for a living? because If you are not a professional model builder you should be.

I also see that you are in Flauderdale, I'm just down the road in Homestead, by the race track.

Do you know of any clubs or shows that are local? Because i would love to see some of your work in person and to meet you and pick your brains.

Hi Gag, Thanks for the props.
Theres an IPMS chapter up here but Im not involved with them. They had an event/show a couple weeks ago but it was pretty lame.
