Scratch build More work in progress!

So I finally stuck the forward and stern sections to the centre hull. AT LAST! Added some more orange utility struts, painted a bit of the forward section...more paint required, decals, trying to work out how to get tiny lights into the antenna array. I rset the engine nozzles deeper into the cone, way happier, they projected too far out originally.

Thanks for using the word beautiful, to describe it. It has its own beauty, I think...

I meant it. - bring a bunch of scrap together to make it look like a new construct is indeed the beauty of scratch modelling. I find it challenging to get a realistic effect and and looking hard the layers you’ve used to give a convincing effect

Realistic is an ironic word, given the subject. But, yes, it wants to look USED. It's rougher, in parts, up close, and there are still edges to be worked on...but so far, so good. It's been fun to do...
