Thought I’d share some pics of my scratchbuilt spaceship. I saw this on the back cover of a Heavy Metal Magazine (May of 1978 or 79 can’t remember which), and thought I’d give it a try. A balsa master was carved, and vacuformed with .040 sheet styrene. Hope you like it!
That…, is cool! I just might have to consider “modifying” that concept to accept velocity amplifier drives, and build it !
Hey that is very cool! It’s nice to see something besides the usual suspects.
That is pretty darned cool.
That’s pretty cool. The construction is very clean and precise. I really like the period paint scheme - was it difficult to do?
Can you tell if the original picture was painted by Larry Elmore? It looks like some of his work.
I did a quick scan of Elmore’s website, and didn’t see anything like the ship. Lots of well done paintings, but no space ships.
To be honest, I no longer have the magazine,…just the back cover, and it shows no signature. Dave.
Painting wasn’t that hard, just a lot of time masking! Dave.
[:D] Yeah, I don’t doubt it. I’m very impressed - I have a terrible time whenever I try to do something similar.
Okay, not what every scifi builder wants to hear- but, that’s CUTE![8-|]

Uhummmmm,I mean, that’s really cool![Y]
Very cleanly executed and sharply done.[snYea]
That’s just plain cool!
