Drilled the end of the plumbing vent out, added a disc of styrene for the end windows. Still need to add some thin borders to the windows and some kind of glass. Filled in the lower "windows", added angled pieces to the upper windows. Messed about with the cockpit (plumbing vent) a bit. It has a few uneven areas due to heat gun brutality, which will require some filler later, but generally speaking, it's working quite nicely.ĭug some holes in the bin lid for the maintenance tubs, which will probably be detailed with chunks of old circuit board and piping from lollipop sticks and whatnot, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's styrene, warped with a heat gun to the curvature of the bin lid, and raised above the surface on a few stacked strips of styrene. ![]() Took the lip off, cut the centre piece out and re-insterted it without the offset. The total diameter of the curved part is not quite wide enough. So I went hardware store hunting again.īAM - a garbage bin lid. I wasn't happy with the "make ribs, fill with something" approach to making the dome shape, because I couldn't shake the feeling that there had to be something I could buy that was just the right shape. I'm at the point in the build where I start tearing out parts that I've already made because they didn't work so well, or because I came up with a better idea. The only concession I think I'll make is that I usually don't use a lot of styrene sheet (because it's expensive), but I can't think of any other way to make a tonne of hull plates without losing my sanity entirely, so styrene it will be. My plan is to detail the entire exterior using whatever I can find that seems to look right, mostly junk, but we'll see what happens. The round holes on the mandibles are bigger than they need to be (actually, the mandibles are also thinner than they need to be) because the whole front area is generously undersized to allow the surface to be built up with some layers of.whatever.to get the shapes and textures right. The piece on top appears to give the correct angle, I'm hoping it'll look "right" once the hull plates are snuggled up around it. I've added some extra pipe portions to the cockpit corridor. Failing that, EVA foam, then bondo (tedious to cut all the EVA foam up though, been there done that on the Enterprise saucer), failing that I might just make more ribs and skin the whole area with styrene. Initial plan is expanding foam, then bondo. Not entirely sure how I'll approach filling the ribs. I'm pretty much just "sketching" a shape here, trying to get all of the important parts to be a) fairly solid, and b) the right size. The docking corridors (I'm making these names up as I go along) are getting built up to the right heights. ![]()
