Scratchbuild Spaceships (WIP): 7 Jan 20

I'm lucky enough to have enough time recently to do what I love: making little spaceships.

I made the "glamor" pieces, the top hulls of four different designs and duplicated them using the techniques previously discussed here (three copies each).  The first design was shown last post; I already have those three bad boys on the game table, testing out some new rules.

I'm currently working on the second set of ships, shown here.  They're about 85% complete on construction; the bottoms still need one or two details.  The exhaust nozzles will get filled in with putty and details sculpted in.

Painting follows of course and I hope to have them done in the next few days.

Not sure how I feel about this design.  It's kind of pedestrian, like a space truck.  The scanner antenna on each ship makes the design pop a little.

mmmmm... medium cylinders

The second pic shows my spare parts bucket which keeps all my pasta building materials organized.

Flight stands make detailing the bottoms easier
