Same here but not for FFG. Ask any model builder who has scratch built a rarity if they had been "ninjad" and you'll probably get a yep.

Ok, update: last night I went on a creative spree, ripped apart my first attempt, went back to the drawing board and pretty much finished the bridge section! Photos should be uploaded tonight after work!

I'm also making a hammerhead corvette, X wing could be more interesting with more epic ships ?

Man, that looks awesome, and is an exponentially cooler ship than the official Scum epic.

Hi I'm the manufacturer of the hammerhead corvette, I've got more recent pictures with more details, indeed, I spect to start painting it sooner... ...but I have problems to upload those pictures on this blog, can someone help me to upload them?

Thanks in advance.

newest update, hopefully I'll be starting on the engine section tomorrow :)

At this rate, I might have enough progress to put this on the table in time for the C-ROC!

Starting to get cannoned up! Plus added details.

I know it's far from finished, but can you give us a size comparison to another Epic, or a large-base ship...cheers ;)

Not a problem, until I can, the "gunnery deck" is mostly the same size as the CR90. Overall, I'm trying to make it roughly the same length as the CR90. (Regardless of what the actual scale might be)

Size comparison.

Wow, great work...see, if I try a scratchbuilt like this, parts like those 'wings' either side will end up different shapes, no matter how carefully I measure them! :rolleyes: ;)
