Magnificent model, Sir! You have truly pleased the Lords of Kobol. :bowdown:

FRONT CHANGES MADE: Remade hull markings and changed window color. I glued the revised front to 1mm chipboard and cut out the shape. I used some clear plastic I’d saved from some packaging to make the windows. Then, I traced the window section onto another sheet of white card stock and cut...

MAIN BODY CHANGES MADE: Redid lower front nose to match open ports and louvered grill, original part was reversed. “Skinning” things always makes me nervous because I hate wavy, bumpy parts. But, it had to be done. I cut out the part and left the front and rear tabs in case I wanted to use...

REAR ENGINES CHANGES MADE: Redid rear hull to have more correct access hatch, red panel, small panel and louvered grill. First I raised the light, hatch and louver areas. I tried to make the louvers look like actual louvers by cutting slits into it. I gives it some definition, but doesn’t...

INTERIOR ASSEMBLY CHANGES MADE: Added colored strips along ceiling and floor. Changed shuttle floor to match carpet on interior set. Added wall panel lines. Added phaser locker at rear. I glued the entire floor/wall section to 1 mm chipboard. Like my other builds, I scored the back of the...

ROOF CHANGES MADE: Added light panel in roof to match interior set. The original roof was just plain white. I added the colored sections that go along each side and the light panel area. I got my first roof glued to 1mm chipboard for test fitting then realized I’d screwed up! I extended the...

REAR BULKHEAD CHANGES MADE: Created white rectangle and door control art for rear bulkhead to match interior set. The rear bulkhead was a simple upgrade with just a color change and some new vector art. I raised the panels then glued it to 1mm chipboard and cut out the door. I glued a copy to...

HELM CHANGES MADE: Remade controls using screen caps and custom art to more closely match interior set controls. Controls are a mix from multiple episodes. The helm was definitely the part I spent the most time reworking. The Galileo helm was reworked for every episode it was shown with some...

That is phenomenal! Excellent all the way around! You sir, are an ARTIST!!!!

Thanks @mcusanelli . I'm pretty sure I'd have to get permission from the original designer since I'm still using his basic outline/design. Once the whole thing is done I'll look into it. Maybe at worst I can put my reworked art out as an "update/upgrade" set. Some of my changes are things I'm...

COMPUTERS CHANGES MADE: Added correct wall computer artwork in more accurate positions. The original file had some strange, really large art to represent the wall computers. They didn’t look good at all. I downloaded pics of the real props and sized them to fit. They are known as “Alpha,”...

I was afraid I might catch up on my builds, so I started another one to keep things normal. This is my build of the Galileo shuttlecraft model created by Joerg Stammen in 2004. This is one of the first models I ever downloaded and it has been sitting in my computer for a while. That’s a good...

That is super work!:)

All the best, Chris. Thanks for all you do.

Welcome, to Jurassic Park!

Nicely done! Awesome to see another Rawen model again. :Bravo:

You have done an amazing job! :Bravo::Congrats:

Great job, Chris. You are developing some mad skills!:Bravo:

Everything looks great. You are doing a fantastic job. You're right that getting rid of tabs is fiddly and takes time, but it's worth it to get that smooth seam. Nice work!

FINAL ASSEMBLY Finally, the handle and the stock are glued in place and I am ready to take out Gary Mitchell on Delta Vega! It’s been a long, slow build and I’m pleased with the results. It’s a pretty impressive paper model at this size. As usual, I see a lot of ways I could have detailed it...
