Scratchbuilding a model of Moya from Farscape

This article was based on material I presented at Wonderfest 2003 in the “Advanced Scratchbuilding Course”, and was previously hosted on one of my older websites. The article has been s…

Its a scratch build maybe you can contact the designer.

If you want to design your own model there are a lot of pictures available. Also there is a plastic kit and a 3d resin kit.

It would be a great design project for you!

Thanks for your trust but I have enough work on my list.

I think a full scale (1:1) model would make a great house. I wonder if Pilot would move in too?

That is a very interesting article. Thank you for sharing it with us!

That is an excellent article. Lots of ideas for other builds of course.

I did manage to create a PDF from the page, with great difficulty.

Good that I could help you.

Lots of compound radii. To do it justice would require much water forming of the skill. A proper hull design could help with that, but how many would actually build it? It would be extremely difficult.

Hi,
The resin model is available at federations models in the models kits tab, starscape section. I've had it for more than 5 years in the box and will do it soon.
Measuring over 16" long

Are you measuring from the top side, or the base?..............................

 

[Toutenkarton]

this is the length of the finished model (website picture)
mine is still in its box

That's is an awesome model. Some people are really talented. To make that out of paper, you would have to do a "paper machet"(SP?) to form it, and sand to shape. A basic form could be made, to keep the wall thickness thin, but thick enough to sand to shape. The Resin model is the way to go with this. You have a very hard to find model. A lot of people are 3D printing these now. If you have a 3D printer, you can Google the files for the ship.

Thanks, I never thought to look for a 3d model. I did find a few.

It can be done. Do you remember the Derelict ship from Alien? It too has some very strange shapes and was mastered with perfection as a paper model. When I look at the Moya I see a lot of tubes and internal formers. I would look for a 3D model or orthos and use that a blueprint to rig up a new simplified model which works for papercrafting.

Good luck! A good candidate for advanced water forming.

Exactly what I was thinking. That would be a fun project.
