About the Project

...Because she's a death trap..... Edit, I have renamed the project and am editing the description because the originals are no longer really relevant. So this project started out because the very hot summer of 2018 would let me paint anything and most of my hobby stuff had to be packed away for a house move. Whats it become now? well the weathers cooled and the house move is done, but im enjoying building small shuttles... so welcome to the Od'Adlos ship yard!

This Project is Active

And on to painting her......

...wait I cant, this is where we came in :(...wait I cant, this is where we came in :(

So this little diversion has kept me occupied for the best part of a week while Im not sorting out a house move, school change for my little un etc etc etc.

 

She will get painted at some stage, hopefully before long and I’ll update this thread once thats done.

 

Sorry if theres a lack of detail around certain things, my only excuse is that I didnt really think it would work as well as it has. There lots wrong with her but I’ve learned loads about scratch building in cardboard and to think geometry wasnt my favourite subject at school 😀

 

I hope whats here is of some use to you even if its just as inspiration. Shout if you want me to explain anything in a little more detail..

 

until its painted….. 😛

Bugs glorious bugs!

So My poor attempts at a technical drawing, mostly this is correct however changes were needed, lots of cereal boxes were wasted by the mistakes.So My poor attempts at a technical drawing, mostly this is correct however changes were needed, lots of cereal boxes were wasted by the mistakes.
