Space 1999 Space bus scratchbuild


Recommended Posts

 

Hi All, I got back to this recently and decided to plough on and finish it pretty much as planned, rather than set the whole thing back a few weeks by chopping bits off and then having to re-spray and make good afterwards. I spent some time on the detailing and painting and I guess I'm happy with it now, although I suppose with every build there is something that didn't turn out quite as intended.

The lighting is a simple string of LEDs inside the hull with a small battery pack, very simple and also very cheap. I hope to do something a bit more ambitious next time!

It sits quite nicely on the stand (been there a few days now and hasn't fallen off) and, bonus, I can rotate it to any angle to help with taking photos.

So here we are, the Space Bus. If you don't like it don't worry, another one will be along in a minute :)
cheers
Monty

but rather large and slow for me so I had to give up in the end. 

I've just checked most of them, and they're in the range 70-150kb, all of which is within the acceptable range for the site.  It could be another issue between his hosts and our server, maybe pixies? Wi-fi?  Who knows? :shrug:

I just tried again and they came up straight away. Weird. Maybe just too much local demand last evening? 

Anyway, the bus came out rather nicely. Another impressive build. I'll hang around to see what's next... Pass the oxygen...Hello?

Thanks Pete! I won't need oxygen for the next project, just the usual glue and filler. I'm glad the pics are now working ok, i've never had issues with imgbox in the past.

Thanks @Yg Models, i had a lot of fun with the space pictures, they're the reward after all that filling and sanding :)
