Do you ever get tired of modeling trains?

There are occasions when I've had enough of insuring that all the measurements are correct, and that details are placed exactly where they should be, to be true to the prototype, or to prototype practices.
It's at times like these that I do a project that is pure imagination. Where there is no "prototype", or "prototype practice". A project that no one can "count the rivets" on, because, no one has ever "seen the rivets", to count them!
Here's a little diversion I took to cure the "rivet counting headaches". I grew this from various plastic kit parts, pill bottles, flash cubes, and "pantyhose eggs", the cockpit is made from a plastic shot glass.

And the last shot is the back end. Thought you might enjoy a momentary change of scene.

Whoa!!!!

and whoa again!!!!!!! This is what you do for a break?!! From worrying about measurements???!!!! Looks to me like there must have been a whole lot of measuring and fitting and super-careful modeling going on to get this awesome creation! I love it - ever consider building for the Star Wars folks? You could you know.

cheers
:D Val

Val,
No measuring! Everything is placed in a manner that pleases the eye. If it looked good there, it got glued there!

Wow!!!! That is amazing!!!! I'll bet you had a great time conceptualizing the model and assembling parts that would work. What a creative and fun job of imagineering!
