Awesome choice for paint scheme! Also, I didn't know this ship was so small. It will fit in really nIce in this game.
This is the greatest thread.
Nice idea. Gave me the push on what materials to use for designing a cruiser.
Pattern for top wing section, the bottoms will have to be cut slightly larger for flex incident in wing.
Wing scribe cut with rule from 0.4 mm Sheet styrene. On a side note I never throw away scraps as the seem to come in useful for small detail bits.
Wing point mounted onto main hull section cutting the diamond pattern into back helps to center wing. It measures 20mm equally from front of hull to tip of the front wing, the measurements seem to be holding from the 2-D patterns.
Both cruisers side by side. so far so good.
Project will be on hiatus for a week due to much needed vacation.
Love the work you do, looks to be coming along nicely.
This stuff is fantastic. Now stop it, I have enough on my plate without you inspiring more projects!!!
Vacation over they never seem to last. Anyway back to it, center engines mounted on both cruisers.
