Thank you.
I found some thin black paper for the bridge chairs. working on a TMP Romulan Phoenix also. Too many obstacles recently to really get into papermodeling. Hopefully all this will pass.

Starting on a mego figure size flying sub for someone. It's harder than you might think. I'm not even sure if it will hold it's own weight. I plan on making supports, not really sure what to do, but plunge in head first. I might use a lot of Styrofoam for supports.

You could always make the formers out of 110 stock, and get spray foam to spray between them to make them into bulkheads. Easier than cutting foam board.

That is a good idea. I'm going to have to build a lot more of it before I get an idea of what im going to do. I still have to design the interior with seats and window.

I would think of how concrete is formed. They use plywood formers, then pour the concrete. In this case, you won't have to remove the formers, but can trim and add any excess to your advantage.

Need any pictures of the interior? I have a some if you need them.

Great pictures. The flying sub was the best part of that show!! They also played it seriously, for the time, it was believable. I remember the time it landed on an aircraft carrier, one of the best scenes! Unlike FS0 or X, the ship did not have landing gear and skidded to a stop. It was an awesome sot. Could not find it on YouTube, but did find a video with nice interior shots of the Moebius model. Some screen captures might allow you to copy the interior.

You could easily use this model as a guide to make an add-on kit for the paper version. If I had the kit, that is what I would do!

That's all really great! thanks!!

 

[spaceagent-9]

well the top hatches are done.

 

[zathros]

Nice!!

Thank you! It's kind of hard to know where to draw the line. Mego stuff is simple and mostly 2-d. So I skip a few things and make some parts larger and not in scale.
