Papercraft Deep Space Freighter build - part 2

(29/11/15 ) Papercraft Deep Space Freighter build - part 2 : the initial post was getting a bit lengthy so a new post started here and with an up-to-date plan:


Having two separate sections for the middle/bulk of the ship was proving too unwieldy and problematic to tie in the maze of adjoining walls so have decided to go with one (too) big middle section and thus joined the second quarter section on to the new third section:



but it's starting to get too big for my little camera to take it all in so might have to get the SLR out next time!


Ok these are troops straight out of the Nam but couldn't resist a few shots:

Have also started churning out bits and pieces to fill the rooms and corridors so that the finished ship will not look so empty:

(04/12/15) One of the trickiest parts of the build completed, converting the standard Bridge module into a double sized, wrap around windowed, bridge area with space to manoeuvre:
The original.....
 The conversion.....


(13/12/15) Not many opportunities to work on the old tub this week so the only unit I managed to complete was the escape pods corridor:



(30/12/15) Not too much to show for the lead up to the Xmas period for obvious reasons, except for printing, cutting, folding and organising the remaining parts for the last section of the ship:

  1. Wow,just wow. You make it look so easy to do. That's a sign of someone who knows what he's doing. Nicely done.
