Spaceship Crash Site

New project is a Derelict Space Craft, using three separate section pieces, I could then place them altogether as one drifting in space or have them spread out, making them three different section of a crash site where I can spread them across the terrain to investigate.

So I have started with the bridge and crew section there is the bridge it's self then two airlock sections followed by the crew's bunk section. I wanted to make it look like a derelict, I figured that I would need some missing panels.

Thus exposing the interior of the panel so I needed some thing for inside the open panels, with a piece of housing wire, using the copper wire and small bits of the insulation I know I could some nice looking piping and alike.

So this is a start, I need to make a cargo section, and an engine section as well. I also need to make some special terrain pieces that would support each section for a crash site. I can't wait to get these on the gaming table.

Spring is Coming

Okay so Spring is coming and here's a source for something free, Polyvinyl styrene signs that if you know someone, or make a contact at Home Depot. You could score their used signs, similar as the one pictured below

The ones they use in the store are of cardboard but the ones that they use outdoors are a polyvinyl styrene of some kind you can scribe them and they will snap off at the scribe line. They have other similar signs that one might be able to get as well, when they reset a display some are thicker then others, may take you awhile to score those but hey you can get them for free.

So get to know someone in their Outdoors Lawn and Garden. I have stacks of their used ones as of now, and can't wait for Spring to get going with gluing and painting

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.
