Title: Card or Foamboard models of FS ships.
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on September 13, 2002, 01:41:28 pm
As part of a GCSE graphics project I have mentioned before, I am going to make a model of an FS ship, coming out of subspace (so i'll only need the front end, it will be attached to a back panel of MDf, you see) anyone have any ideas as to which ship would be best?

The Lucifer would be pretty easy to do. And a Hecate wouldn't be that hard either.

who said it had to be a destroyer? Hmm?

Why not suggest things like the Lev, or Aeolus?

Sobek, Aten, Mentu, Iceni, Deimos, Cain, Moloch, Valkyrie, Perseus, etc...

This sounds like a good idea, making FS models in real-life!

I'd say stick to Terran ships, they have fewer curves.  I recon a hecate would be sort of easy, its just a series of boxes 5 main boxes, with 4 fins on the side, and one on the bottom.

I got a picture of a Japanese classroom where the students filled it totally to the ceiling with a scaled model of the Argo/Yamato... They had paper dolls like in the cut out books drawn to look like the crew and scattered then all over it. Some are even in the barrel of the wave motion gun hanging around :)
It looked cool and took a long time. I wonder if that pissed the teacher off losing a whole classroom?

Ok, how about the Deimos? Or the Perseus? Herc Mk I would be nice.

I think Artimus (the Freakspace guy) made that wooden Orion, but I can't find a link at the moment...

You guys are all wrong. The Iceni is the best one to use.

That's it, I'm making the Fenris, now can anyone give me any advice as to how? I will only be making the fron half as I mentioned before, to give the effect that it is emerging form subspace. Anyone have the dimensions of the ship, so I can scale it down?

Yes, buts they're dimensions for the whole ship, not each edge, thats what I am in grave need of, if I am to produce a net and then fold it into shape.
