KitBash Starship

Now that is cool.  It looks kind of like the SDF-1 from Macross/Robotech.  IT would be cool to see it photoshopped into a space background.

Now the question remains: Can she handle atmo? 

Thanks Justen!.....She must be a hybrid.....cuz if she can handle atmo.....the turbines can handle space!

Holy that is COOL!!!

Nam, I could never build something like this as my imagination is much more limited.  I applaud not only your creativity, but your workmanship as well.  Very well done my friend, can't wait to see some of your winged-thingies!

You knuckleheads! 

Now that's a 'BASH!!!

Darth Vader, eat your heart out! 

It was meant to get in fast....all guns going.....and murder a Starcruiser!

Gosh....how our minds work!

 Isn't that what shied generators are for?

 Inertial drives leave no "exhaust trails", which is why the Velocity Amplifier drive was invented.

A Focused Translocator Cannon, is basicly a transporter....without all the computer needed for re-assembly at the destination. Mass in, Mass out....in the heart of the densest mass of the target,at the same instant in time, = BOOM! Put two of them, aimed at the center of a spherical refractory, and the energy can be harnessed and used to power the vessel. 

reply to PM......post it here man! You can't see the pics there.

Yep, the 'rear' wing is basswood, some superstructure built up, with the AZ bridgeworks put on top.....It suffers from not applying a wash for the details, but I virtually 'finished' this thing 2 days before being released from the hospital.

The USS Missouri parts are 5" and 40mm mounts, radar dishes from a built kit someone discarded. Decals were an afterthought that some other Vet offered up. I just sawed thru the top of the S-3 wings, cambered them down and filled with basswood and plastic wood....you can see the sanding points.

The turrets were all problematic on the aft fuse....built a false floor of wood and mounted the AZ guns in them......the wing turrets were fairly easy.....found some 'quarter-sized' wooden disks left by workmen....cut them in and mounted the mounts!

The underbelly was the bay doors hinged opposite to form gun galleries....and yes, I used 'bubble plastic' to see the rooms.....but it crazed from something.....and I shot ther pics with a disposable camera.

Thanks!

Now that was a real treat.An absolute feast for the eyes.Thanks for sharing.

Now there's somethin' ya don't see every day! 

Only thing I don't care for is the wings and engines.  They're too...  I dunno.  They just don't quite look right w/the rest of it, strange as that sounds. 

Overall, tho, I like it.  Nice 'bash!

Well of course it doesn't look 'right' Griff! Without wings and engines, it might look like a ship!

Maybe I should've added the AZ shafts and props!

Only if you added a couple of dirigible airframes.
