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: ;)

Oh.. my misshapen mistakes didn't show up in the pictures? Sweet! :)

(So much uneveness!)

I just trim a little so most of the pieces are as close to the same size as possible. :D

Last night got some work done with cutting panels and internal structure for the aft section, and decided I really wanted to make a prototype turbo laser.. turned out pretty good, so two more for the underside and around ten light cannons for the upper deck.

Most of the ship is pretty much done, just the main engine and lower half of the wing engines. Then it's on to cannons, superstructure add-ons and additional details.

Keep it up! It's coming along nicely.

Probably 80% done, just small details and cannons left... oh, and paint.

Man, that looks awesome!

this thing looks massive, then you put it next to the CR90 and its the same size.

Man my perception is bad..lol...

Epic build so far!

Posting for updates! :D

"Crusader's weapons are charged.. and ready."

Update!

I've completed what I am now calling the "Mark-One prototype"!

Pictures to follow once I've uploaded them... can't wait to see FFG announce their version for the next wave, now that I've come this far. :)

That ship looks like its going to be a lot of fun to play. Do you have stats for it? And did you pick up any Sliced White Mushrooms 2/3? I'm guessing that 2 packages for $3?

I swear, that paper takes all the attention from the poor ship! ;)

I did make some stats for it, I'm aiming for a mix of CR90 and Raider to balance it out, front arc is like the Gozanti and Raider, the rear has broadside arcs. (Think Lancer side arcs)

I'll post them when I get a chance.
