I'm sorry to inform you that I have caught a nasty flu right after I have cut out the parts for the main habitat. So the test build is delayed for a moment. Once I feel better I'll show you some pics - I promise! :)

Don't worry, I'll be alright. :)

And I thought THIS one would be the only ugly mother******:

I have started on my U.S. Coast Guard version, it will be solely for Rendering purposes and to show in the 'Renders and Illustrations' section. :)

AHEM...

First of all I apologize for the long wait, however, life demanded its toll. BUT now I am ready and eager to BUILD something again!!!

As you might have guessed I'll start with the test build of the Alien Derelict. I have begun with the center pod, pictures will follow tonight when it is finished.

The first impression of the kit is: It is like a dream. The fitting is superb and the texture is phenomenal. Major kudos to @Vger1981 . Thank you for designing one of the most unique spacecraft, for your patience and for letting me test the parts (I did find some issues though ;) ). CU later! :)

Alright, here they come! :)

I started with the bottom:

A ring is attached:

The top:

I found it easier to leave the top piece open and to close it after it was glued to the ring:

The parts for the top dome, arranged in an expressionistic fashion:

Looks like an alien face..! ;)

The open ring at the bottom of the picture is assembled first. Then an inner ring is added:

Another level is attached to the inner piece:

And a dome on top. Its petals are glued together using a small paper strip made from left-over pieces of the page.

The dome is glued to the center piece which is now complete.

Now come the arms. Stay tuned! :)
