Solar galleon-kitbash+scratchbuilt


Recommended Posts

Hello ARC'ers!

This is my second kitbash+scratchbuilt project and a first In-progress builg. First (mostly scratchbuild) was a BOLO tank which photos are posted on this forum. As I wrote, now I'm building something close to "RLS Legacy" from "Treasure Planet".

I know that it wouldn't be the same as original "Legacy" but anyway... :monkeydance: To made a hull I used a old hull from "Nina" by Heller and some parts from old models....and of course plastic sheets. Here is it

so far:

A hull:

A few details like bottom hatch...

Comments, critique and suggestions are welcome and encouraged. Thanks for looking...and sorry for my english :monkeydance:

artoor_k,

I love what you've done so far. I esepcially like the turret housing in the stern. It blends the old saling ship/sci-fi elements nicely. I also plan to tackle such a project one day with a cheap Lindberg sailing ship. I plan to have massive lift generators in the ventral hull, fusion reactor housing bulge, partticle beam canon all on a wooden ship with canvas sails.

Hello!

Here is a small update...I've added some details on aft superstructure: windows and a picture. On RLS Legacy from film there was a picture of some planets.I couldn't find a good one so I chose a sundown from one of the newspapers. I know, the internet is full of matching pictures of planets but my printer broke down two days ago.

Hello ARC'ers!

Here is the outcome of two days. I've made a bowsprit , masts and added more details on aft superstructure. Masts are made of bike spokes -_- Rear mast is not straight , I know about that but I correct it during rigging.

Yesterday I draw sails on the piece of thin plastic sheet. Now I must find a time to paint them and to paint a galleon :jaw-dropping: See you on next update :jaw-dropping:
