I start building an eagle transporter from a free download template. The head is difficult to build but I got it. For more realistic surfaces I print the head twice and cit out some small plates and optimize the look. I cut out the front windows and make a small Cockpit with a pilot. This looks much better than the printed pilots on the printed windows.
I build a free download model from genetmodels.com. The original scale was 1/60 and I rescaled it to 1/35. I build a cockpit freestyle into the model instead of the grey printed windows. In the freight-bay I put some lights and the engines are glowing red.
The wiring was a bit dificult but I got it.
For the decals I use self-printed decals to update the look.
I build a model from genetmodels.com and rescaled it from 1/60 up to 1/35. I made some modifications and put some lights in there.
Today I finished the lasertank from scratch.
I painted the model black at first, then I added a layer white and at least I made a bit grey foggy pray very little bit, to make the white dirty.
The effect was great. The last step are the labels and stickes.
Today I glued a lot of small stuff on the surface of the lasertank. Now it is ready for coloring.
I am not sure at the moment in which way I do the weathering. This is actual status.
Yesterday and today I build the upper part of the Tank with bigger and smaller plates and thin foamboard and thick paper.
Yesterday I start building a Laser-Tank from scratch for my Moonbase Alpha diorama.
As base I use a Tamiya Chieftain MK5 for the Wheels and so on.
The upper part is complete from scratch, cause there exist no model kit in scale 1/35. I foumd one in scale 1/100 but this is too small.
Today I build a Maximilian with paper, foamboard and toothpicks in scale 1/35.
Now the Vincent is not alone anymore.
Today I build a figure from the movie "Black Hole" in scale 1:35.
I am not sure if it's Vincent or Bob.
This morning I got the Idea to build a small BB-8 Droid for my diorama. It is 18mm high and was difficult to paint.
The last 9 month I had much work to do this huge model. Now it will be finished in the next days and a few things are left. The base-plates are two parts and together the whole model is 66 x 42 inch. I put some crossovers and eastereggs into the model.
The last 9 month I build this diorama with many details and two big base-plates. (66x43 inch)
The buildings and rooms I build some from pictures from the series and some I build completely from scratch.
I built this moon-hopper completly from scratch.
Starting with the doors from two chewing-gum-boxes and a half of a transparent acrylic ball.
On the PC I draw some templates for tge fuselage and build it with grey cardboard. The Cockpit equipment and the hedges are bricks.
A few cables and Stickers made it complete.
I build a model from paper with the stargate and the DHD.
The moonbase alpha is near the goal. All rooms are finished and a few things are left.
Now for my vinean spaceship I build a small Yoko Tsuno.
I build the rest of the hyperdrive with some big wooden pearls and a piece of plastic. I take gray primer for the first color and painted the rest with acrylic paint. The small thrusters I made with red paper and paint the inner part of the thrusters black.
After finishing the spaceship I decide to build a pluggable hyperdrive for the vinean spaceship i build before. Now if it is ready it looks like in the original Comic.
Now I finished the spaceship. The first travel was to the moonbase alpha for abmaintenance stop. One of the technicians comes with the powercord for charging the batteries of the shuttle.
Yesterday and today I have done a lot of work.
I build the stairs inside the door. And i made the bottom thrusters and the side thrusters. The Engine-section has a magnetic lock to the passengers cabin. The last was the vents on the top for the atmospheric engines. I made the cone for the Cockpit.
