Title: A New Scratch Build
Post by: Ghost14 on March 05, 2010, 02:48:16 am
Hello Shipbuilders,

I've been working on a new scratch build for about 3 or 4 weeks now and wanted to start posting my process.  This is fairly new to me, so bear with me if things are not as organized as some other posts may be.  I'm always open to suggestions as i'm building along.  Anyways, heres to the new build!  :-))

Hi Ghost

Do you have a picture of what it is you are aiming for, the finished item?
That way it is more easy to picture in our mind what you are doing. Particularly at this early stage.

Thanks

Hey Tiger,

Unfortunately, the final design is in my head.  However, below is a picture of the top view to scale along with the frame to go with it.  I wish I had more pictures to give you and everyone else a better idea, but that is one thing thats fun about starting from nothing... you can change as you go!  Hope this helps to some degree.  Thanks for the idea!

Are you a fan of Battlestar Gallactica by any chance?

hahaha.  No, but my wife questions whether if it's supposed to float or fly.   {-)

It looks like a cross between a (FASA)TOG Gladius fighter and a Tholian Cruiser(SFB),either that or it's going to be a type of catameran? :D
