some work on the captain deck level http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05345_zpspq5qcspc.jpg the pilot and captain deck http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceshi...

hello I have finished to carv the main "wing" up http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05334%202_zpspq0epzvv.jpg down http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spa...

some news the bottom "wings" were carved for pannels and the base yellow paint is done (not perfect, I use only spray cans), drying before masking and black. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05332%202_zpsakxvr6r...

the price for theese cartridges is about 30$ for 100 (thx google); a bit expensive if you dont drink this coffee , and you must have the special Lavazza machine to use them. you can have them in the us or canada personnaly I had them in an wastebin of an office during a job meeting. (people were loo...

thank you THom Raiser the base is 1mm thick styrene the discoid grids come from coffee Lavazza cartridges, I have glued around a part of a plastic bracket then the four little balls are plastic pearls and different parts of styrene thats all http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scr...

thank you, I really appreciate the structure of the rear part is finished http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05321_zpsmxh2g5tb.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt...

you are absolutly right; the colors are typical of Chris Foss some news working on the rear of the vessel http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05164_zpswsbk8bjx.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scrat...

new progress on the front structure http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05155_zps59o6o736.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05156_zpshhls8obw....

the Fae looks very good;
the skin is doing well

keep working on the Phaeton.

the front structure is going on: http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05140_zpsdxf5k0ba.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05141_zpsbkl54gip.jpg...

this looks like an artistic venture.
When I see the amazing results , I think it is indeed art.

trains may be very small ; Nscale 1/160 and smaler Z scale 1/220

there is another tiny scale 1/500, but it is a bit far from modelism

you can build a Z layout on a pizza box. You dont need a cupboard

hello the front structure is going on , on theese frames I will glue 1mm thick styrene sheet ,and after a skin with structures and final detail. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/ptitrainrouge/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%204/DSC05134_zpsnykiqh8o.jpg http://i1122.photobuc...

Nice to see that you like it, Thom
thank you.

it will take time to complete it

nice scratch;
I like seeing how basics devices go to life.

hello I felt in love with a model in the reader gallery from the yellow contest; this one: http://www.starshipmodeler.com/contest/CONTEST14/scratch_18.htm I have decided to build something in the same shape and color I am afraid that it will be almost a one year project. the length will be nearly 70...

I work on another project : a space tanker . The scale will be 1/220 as in my first project. The idea came from this : http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitrainrouge/media/scratchbuilt%20spaceship/scratchbuilt%20spaceship%203/DSC04741_zps67veeklq.jpg.html?sort=3&o=25 the base of a clothe drying...

thank you, for your welcome and kind words.

By anyway , I am really a newbie for this stuff, and if you could have a direct look on my models you would see it very quickly

and yes it is "little red train" lol

Hello I am new to your forum, I am a N scale train layout modeler , and one year ago, I have discovered scratch building of spaceships; I was hooked. I have discovered specifically this forum: it is amazing. Let me introduce my two first humble tries; I am a newbie . Regards https://www.youtube.com/...
