Amazing project. I've wanted a kit of this kind since the movie premiered.

You know it is kinda strange- I like the Endurance better now that I have seen your model of it. In the film we never get a good lingering look at it- I didn't care for it much. With your excellent build I can now see the details and the engineering that went into it and I like it much better.
This is been a fantastic build- well done sir!

Small updates as I near completion. I used brick texture styrene to create a rudimentary stencil which I used on the black panelling to add thermal brick texture.
Then today I shaped the command bridge from Delrin before detailing it in the usual way- textured paper and resin. I also realised that the windows on all the modules were way oversized and betrayed the scale making the ship look disproportionate, so I painted over them and drew them back in by hand. Another pass of brushwork and airbrushing to increase tonality and textures also helped bring more life into the ship.
The final parts to focus on are the spherical joints, I've used LEGO 2x2 dishes with tank wheels kitbashed on, and some resin pieces on the 'docking spheres' on four joints, but the backs and insides of the spheres are proving to be a pain...

The windows do look more in scale now. Good catch on that.

"This commission piece has been a true journey of Endurance in all ways, lasting nearly 20 months of work, I had underestimated every aspect of the build.
I'm thankful my client has been so patient and supportive, and the in my own humble opinion the results were certainly worth the wait.
The model is full polyurethane resin fitted around a machined brass armature- Rangers and Landers are all detachable.
Dimensions are 320 x 320 x 90mm with Rangers docked, weight is 5.7kg"
Thank you for all the support along the way from you lovely RPF members x

Amazing job, HH. Love the details, and the lighting in those shots is great! Looks like those shots could be taken straight from the film!
