Exactly how is this " a bit MEH ' ?

 

[ClumsyModeler]

There's more attention to detail in that last pic than I put into my entire models! Geez! Way to go, this is awe-inspiring.

Thanks a lot for all these scratchbuilding lessons Nylon Gag.
We admired the MK.1, we love the MK.2 !!

Amazing work Gag , I've said this before , but it strikes me that no matter how "fantastic" the design , it ALL makes sense ! None of the detail looks like it's there just for it's own sake , it's all there for a reason . ( Or at least gives that appearance , which is the point !) Your patience and attention to detail is truly inspirational and I'm now looking at my efforts like they're "Blue Peter " jobbies , made from Cornflake boxes ! ;D

Evenin All,

Thank you all, so so much for your comments guys, it really does mean a lot to me.

Your positive feedback tells me that i'm going in the right direction.

Exactly how is this " a bit MEH ' ?

Just wanted to say mate, that my 'a bit meh' comment was more about how friggin difficult and frustrating it was to get this thing to this point, the ideas really didn't flow so well the last few weeks.


I'm happier now because i've had a good week, but i was struggling mate.

So enought of my moaning, down to buisness, lets go, lets go....move it, move it.


Pix..


Decided three big sticking points i was having........


1. Decided, unfortunately, to loose everybody's favourite driver, Colin, because i was losing so much time trying to fit the car around him, instead of him fitting into my car, plus he's modelled on a big fat 70's era driver, it's like when fat boy Micheal Andretti drove for McLaren and he couldn't fit in the car properly, well that was the reason he gave for his poor performance, anyhoo Colin was fighting me so i binned him, don't panic, i didn't literally bin him i just decided to take the oppertunity to detail the cockpit a bit more.

2. Decided that, yes, i was going to rob the williams seat belts. I will buy a an after market set.


3. Decided to cut the cockpit module in half so i had better access.








Gave the halves a quick sand









Installed the seat frame in the lower cockpit module.







Borrowed the front of a tank for the foot well







Also added side rails to the tub






Slotted the square stock to recieve the cockpit cover.









Cut a top plate and added some slots to also recieve the cockpit cover






Side plates




Added a few more wires to extend the detail panel a bit







Dry fit







Put some 'T' stock along the top edges of the slotted square stock













Epoxie sculpt seat and head rest












Another dry fit






Some side details








Rear bulkhead and fire prevention system





Dry fit with all cockpit components






Ready for............












You guessed it, Primer

Mmmmmmmm primer, my favourite season

























And that is the story so far,

Next, who knows, i supose i should paint the cock pit. Still intend to put some details on the inside of the cockpit cover and i still haven't figured out how i'm going to make the windscreen.

But, that's for another day

Take care

Looks awesome. I had no idea the scale was this big. The entire thing looks killer.

1/12th Bossman, go big or go home right. ;D

It Will end up at about 24" overall length.

The other day i started thinking about what i might do next and my twisted brain came across the idea of doing my MK1 ship in 1/12th, i think i'm a bit mental
you realise that would make it over 7 feet long and 5,3/4 feet wide.

Sometimes, i scare myself :

Gag




I even started doing the basic math.
