 I often primer two or three times before I find and fix all my goofs. Looking good! I think it ought to have bigger wings, but I'm probably too influenced by the standard 400 ton Far Trader design. ;)

Stage 3. Blue with more Bluey Blue

Calling it done

This is what we ended up with


Cargo Containers - 3D printed, so not fantastic, but good enough for Government.... errrr BTS work.

Top view

Close up of some damage (Actually caused by me splitting the bit of Train Cab I used here.)



Lights !!

bit out of focus... grrrrrr !


Engines. Pretty happy with the result here. Getting a nice subdued glow is hard, but diffused with some Foam and the main arrays is actually part of a Flash bulb unit from the dim dark
ages when Cameras used to have to use external flashes

I am now heading toward a Traveller (Sci Fi RPG from last century) style ship, something like a 400/500 ton Free Trader. This might make 1/144 scale maybe, I will have to scale it out a bit more and maybe make a bunch of smaller containers.

I came to this party late and worked backwards. First thing I thought of when I saw the final product was "TRAVELER".
