Small Cargo Spaceship Update Part 3

I have had some time to work on this project some more. All the interior is done now and all of the main hull is done now as well. Now I have been working on the out rigging and engines section.

Here is the over all view looking top down

Exterior Air Lock hatch.

The Bridge Control Panels.

The nose of the ship side view.

Front of the nose of the ship.

One of the engine sections out riggings, foam core board and covered in white printing paper to cove the expose foam for attaching panels.

I have to cover all of the engine sections with panels before I begin painting. I was hoping to have it done by this weekend but it looks like that will have to wait for another time.

Small Cargo Spaceship Update Part 2

The first set of photos were taken with my tablet which would not allow me to take more detailed photos, so here are some taken with my camera

Here is a better pictures for the bridge thus far,

Over all I still have some more work to do and I am really enjoying this project.

Small Cargo Spaceship Part 1

I got the idea from one of the members "CookandrewB" over at Lead Adventure Forum to make a modular spaceship a Bridge Section, Cargo Section, Engine Section and a Midship Section that would allow for adding additional space left and right of the ship. By making four each of each section with add ons, then one can have a fair combination of ships to explore that are adrift or sitting in a spaceport.

I thought I would start with a smaller ship, so here is my progress so far.

 I have more work to do but it's a great start.

UPDATE.

This is the ship I was kind of shooting for;

I wanted some extra room for the Crew's Quarters and I wanted something that looked like a weapons turret so I came up with something that looks more like a Gun Tub from old naval ships.

Sci-Fi Beds, Tables or Roof Top Stuff

I came across some plastic furniture plugs the other day at my local junk store, when the thought hit me these little guys would be great for beds for Sci-fi terrain in just about any setting, the added benefit is you can get them in almost any size as well as most shapes rectangle, square, round and oval.

They can be 6mm buildings, or 15mm terrain stuff as well as 28mm stuff,
So here's the list of some ideas,

• Beds.
• Tables.
• Roof Top Vents and decor.
• Exam Tables.
• Medical Beds for sick bay.

Turn them over and they can be,

• Bath Tubs.
• Planters
• Aguaponic Pools
• Vats
• Fountains

And the list of ideas goes on.

Now run out there and make some cool stuff for your gaming table.

Ships Computer Idea

Needing a lot of ship's computers, for 15mm for my ship idea and project. I came across CAT 5 male connecters that have a sort of  large wall computer look and found that I can get 25 per pack at Home Depot for about 10 dollars.

That a lot of computers for most every ones needs.

Of course they don't have to be just for ships, they can be use for any of your computer needs as well, on your gaming terrain

Dropship Build

http://www.mil-net.net/hercules.cfm

Well I have printed off a few sets of templates and the instructions for this dropship project I have the foamboard as well. My plan is to first make the basic dropship, but I want to modify it a little, to a larger Cargo ship for my Traveller Crew, so in order to do this like I had said I need to construct the basic one first. I want to make it longer, taller and wider, the lower cargo area I feel can be deck out and I'm hoping that I can make the top lift off to reveal an upper deck layout as well.

The original model is said to be 2 feet long! that fairly big for 15mm

Of course the first ship built will not go to waste it will be a combat dropship for My Imperial Marines, plus I'm thinking of building a third one as a crashed site table piece.
