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

This weeks been a bit manic so very little progress on either ship so far, I have manged to add some banding to he bracing struts and add the spacers so that I can move onto adding the crew areas, without the need of the tubes being in place.This weeks been a bit manic so very little progress on either ship so far, I have manged to add some banding to he bracing struts and add the spacers so that I can move onto adding the crew areas, without the need of the tubes being in place.

so while prevarication and mental blocks (also that annoying real life thing) get in the way of the other ships. inspiration struck after the wife cleared some crud off her desk, meet the “Wild at Heart” a racing skiff now used for more nefarious purposes…

 

Full frontal...Full frontal...
obligatory top down view from behind...obligatory top down view from behind...

So the Wild At Heart consists of the following

Deodarant roller, pritt stikk tubes, kids stick on jems, super glue lids and paper clips. Oh and the usual copius amounts of super glue to hold it all together 😀

The mini for scale is from Mantics Star Saga.

Some like beautiful, perfect and pretty
