Tak5haka Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Here is the Shackleton, a kitbash using many bits from my spares box. Probably need to add more weathering and sort a couple of bits out, but I'm calling it done. Edited July 28, 2021 by Tak5haka 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardaukar Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I should pop in here more often, that looks fantastic and inspires me to watch some classic scifi for the perfect Sunday afternoon. 2001, the black hole, event horizon even sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Very nice. Wouldn't look out of place in The Expanse either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 That is a very credible craft: it looks like it's had a hard journey to the outer planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I was rewatching the Expanse while I was building it! Thanks all for the kind words, my weathering tends to be overly done as I get eager to finish when I get to that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Well, I like the weathering. The markings on the main dish look great too. Is that relatives of Huey, Dewey & Louie on the spine? A Great kitbash, and one for the front of the display shelf. Now you'll have to restock the spares box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeddahbill Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The weathering looks good. I wish I had the skill and talent to do convincing weathering on space vehicles, it just never looks right when I get it done. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Timmy Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I cant believe I missed this one. That's " AWSOME" !!! I'm with Pete in Lincs, .. it reminds me of the film Silent Running. The Vally Forge was a long spindly ship too. NICE JOB !!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - that was intentional, I wanted an homage to 2001, Silent Running and other 1970s "hard" sci-fi films and series. Glad you like it.

Troffa Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I was searching for some other "Shackleton" action, and came across this beauty- really great looking model, I can just imagine it featuring in a slow tracking shot against a starry backdrop.
