The C-57D saucer from "Forbidden Planet" is a huge but rather boring model.  The only interior detail exists in the center section, under the clear dome.  I spent a lot of time building one, but am thinking about recycling it now, as it is just not very interesting.  Now, if you could put more windows in it, and scratch-build details inside the outer portions of the saucer, that would be very interesting, indeed!  Good luck and let us see pix!

i'm amazed you were able to get it to bend without melting, crazing or twisting.

i've used the cd jewel cases for flat clear styrene, but because it's so thick, i tend to shy away from it.

Ain't it great when something relatively simple comes to mind that you can use to make a good kit even better, as well as uniquely your own?

Sounds interesting!

However this old brain needs a pic to fully understand the concept.

That sounds like a great idea! Would love to see photos
