The Bumble Bee

Post by tigrazor »

Heres a project that I had in mind for some months now - and finally got the mojo for it. :D The "Bumble Bee" is a heavily armed space interceptor carrier (or something like that) - looks maybe a bit fat and lazy, but is extremely dangerous.

The main concept is to put an U Boat hull together with some additions. The main part consists of a Type IIB from ICM/Revell with both turrets. Tons of PE parts will be misused, as well as some plastic profile and all that funny stuff that makes a kitbash a pure joy.

:D

The planet surface got a space colony made from Mini Millenium Falcon & X-Wing parts (sorry, dear Star Wars fans!), and I think about some custom decals. A friend will have a look over them, so I hope he can print them - would be very nice.

Theyre back! :bow:

The reason: Although my PB account reached 21%, it caused a bandwith problem, concerning all pictures in every thread where PB pics were used, and those are many.

The consequences: I was slightly peed off :poo: because its of course tons of work, and at first sight I thought, everything was gone for good. Bandwith reached at 21% - you can never learn enough! Thanks to www and the help of some members of another forum where I hang out from time to time (MSC) we could solve that problem and it had a happy end.


And so the story continues...

With a new control center, a reworked flight deck and additional rudder. Stay tuned!

Just worked a bit on the base and put some fine G-Strings into the base. From a guitar, I mean, not those for the girls.. :D

Those are supposed to be the "flight connections" for the interceptors buzzing around the ship, attacking it. And somethnig like a high tech oven (that kind of Alien III ending one) had been kitbashed, made from a spinner plate and some additional stuff from the spare parts box. Its illuminated in blue.

Pictures will follow...

:peace:

Impressive work. Still trying to get wrapped around the subject, but is is well done.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
