Greetings ;D
So - for those not following the Giraffe thread - Jason Abbadon has Jedi mind swayed me into building this ...
I'm calling it a Scritash because though it's technically a scratch-build , the major elements are from a 1/72 Revell Space Shuttle with ISS payload .
The starting point for this is nowhere -- Just so it has something to do with NASA and it's got some color . For the holidaze . ... and so Jason can get his NASA fix ;D . :
- and all material must come from the pile . except glue and paint of course
at first I was thinking some kinda wheeled vehicle , but then I figured I'd be nicer to Mr Abbadon . ;D
I dumped out a random parts bin :
Turned out to be a lot more than it first looked :
This needs to be a rapid build -- so I glued the Shuttle bay doors together to get some-kinda form going :
and then played around with layouts .
I have the entire build in my head and it would be assembled already but for the need to do a LOT of seam work FIRST .
Out of all that ' stuff ' , I'm using what's below .
Not all the little stuff at the rear . Only what's needed :
More tonight ;D
P S
Every time I see these ( halves for the ISS module ) I think of the Hoth power generators
The Empanada is being 1/620 scale if that helps 8)
