THE MODEL:
The Excalibur was designed on
paper in a rough draft first. I added details to the drawing as I went
along. The ship is designed as if it were an exploration vehicle. It has limited
armament, and fast speed.
SCALE:
The model was built to a scale
of 1"=50'.
The model is approximately 18"
long.
CONSTRUCTION:
The hull of the model was constructed
from sheet styrene of various thicknesses, as were the
rear and forward sections. I added details from a variety of sources, including
electronics parts, other kit parts, Model RR parts, wire, plastic Easter eggs, and brass tubing. I modified
all of the kit parts to change the look of them. The model was painted with Poly
S paints. I weathered it with Poly S paints and Pastels. The logo on the side
was hand painted. |
