greetings everyone
Now, I know I am in the midst of building the BR52, but recent inspiration has taken over and I have dug out my Moebius Galactica build that I started last year and stopped due to diminishing love for it.
It took me almost 2 months just to get the top section of the head finished to a point where I was happy.
Now, I have spent the past few days digging out the spaces where the armour plates meet the ribs to make it look like they actually sit on top as opposed to looking like they are molded on. The work is well worth the effort I think.
So, quick catch up form the start, then I'll show where I am up to to present.
First up, digging out the spaces between the armour plates and the ribs. To start with, this was quite tricky for me, but as time and repartition went on, I got slowly better at it and tidier:
Once the spacers were carved out, I began detailing the head using some renders that are not available online anywhere as reference:
And this is where I am now after a few more days digging and scraping:
OOB on the left - mine on the right:
I was really unhappy with my first attempt at the hangar pods:
So I ripped it all out and have begun a new starting with new lighting:
then adding some walls:
Now I just need to add some ribs, pipes and other bits and bobs and I reckon she'll do nicely. Much happier this time around!
I will get back to the 52 at some point, but I have just taken delivery of the triple decked 2199 Carrier, the Gamilas War Ship set #4 and Command Core Ship which may well take precedence over the 52. They're from the same series as the Astro carrier I just finished and I can't wait to get started on them. Also soon to arrive will hopefully be the BSG Pegasus and I want to do that one up too, so there will be plenty of stuff coming from my workspace soon. I hope to share it with you all as I go (if your interested that is
)
Thanks for looking
