Resistance is...ADORABLE!!!:)

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the encouragement. May your shirts never be red, may your phasers always be charged, and may your grain always be safe from Tribbles! thumbsup

That is a fantastic build and a real accomplishment. You can take a lot of pride in that! :Bravo:

This is a great model. You've done a really nice job. :Bravo:

This is really looking great. You are doing a fantastic job. I've got a special interest in your build because I'm building my own version of the Mark IX Hawk from Space: 1999 and guess what kind of rocket the engines come from...:wink:

The original door pockets are a box-like design that left the doors sitting more loose that I wanted. And, I wanted to make sure the pennant lined up on the doors and the hull correctly. So, I decided to scratch build a new door holder. First, I laid the doors on the inside of the hull and...

DOORS CHANGES MADE: Changed shape of door windows to match studio model. Redid style and placement of pennant across door seams to match. I carefully cut the door sections out of the hull. Then, I cut the windows out of the actual square sliding doors. I glued a piece of acetate to the back...

DOOR STEP The door step has several mountain and valley folds. It basically forms a box on the back of the lower door section. I used my metal ruler to hold sections straight and flat while the glue set up. This kept any ugly ripples from forming on the outer hull section. This whole section...

MORE ASSEMBLY The main body has been assembled for awhile, so I went back and added the raised detail for the two ducts on the lower port side of the forward hull. These ducts go farther back into the actual Galileo, but I didn’t want to get into creating an inner assembly just to have “deeper...

PYLONS CHANGES MADE: Took “brace end” art off drive pylons and made end hull gray to match studio model. Set brace end art off by itself to make braces stand alone pieces. The original design for this part is a simple box, which does not match the studio model at all. The L-shaped parts with...

ENGINES CHANGES MADE: Added fold-out step area to port drive engine. Added louvered areas to drive engines. I hate making tubes!:realmad: I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but it bears repeating. Luckily, or unluckily depending on your outlook, I’ve had lots of practice. These engines are...

Just an FYI to anyone interested, I will be resuming work on the Hawk very soon.

@Revell-Fan Thanks, man. It's always nice when someone figures out what I'm talking about.;) Glad to see someone's being a voice for the Red Shirts. @zathros It is a nice model and a good design, especially since most of the tweaks it needs are just cosmetic. @Tonino You caught it!:biggrin...

Sorry @Revell-Fan I couldn't figure out how to make the quote say "Revell-Fan said." How do you do that?

On the original Galileo, the wings are as thick as the center lip where they flow into the center line and taper slightly out to the flat edges. The original model wings create really skinny wedge shapes that come to a point. For me, the best way to do the wings was to cut the top piece off...

EXTERIOR CHANGES MADE: Made new sliding doors to compensate for new hull stripe. Corrected door windows for shape to match studio model. Added “Push” panel by door. Added missing hull markings by door. Here’s where things start getting really “seat-of-the-pants” building. The outer sides of...

Movies and TV also teach us important things like: never go skinny dipping at summer camps where horrible murders take place, never split up - EVER, the homely kid in class is really super hot so date them NOW, always check the back seat of your car, the villain you just killed isn't really...

@Revell-Fan , you read my mind! I've got a lot of toothpicks and small dowels that are set aside for that landing leg! It'll either get paper or I'll use gold Sharpie if it looks OK. Those metallic Sharpies are awesome! They make Gold, Bronze and Silver that I know of. As for the roof, yup, we...

Those pics are awesome! I love it whenever we "play" with all this stuff we build. MORE PICS!!!!

I love seeing things like this. People just don't seem to dream as big as they used to. Of course, a lot of those dreams didn't make sense, but they were fun to watch.;)
