JD
Too cool! I've always wanted to scratch build a space ship.. been saving up lots of greeblies..

This monstrosity is crying out for a colorful "70s/80s SciFi cover art" paint scheme. Very cool

So if anyone has an idea for a cool ship name, please let me know. I can make a decal for it.

Eos
Eos is the Greek goddess of the dawn, a patron of new beginnings.

Torsten
That's the high art, follow😎

Christoph Kunz
How freakin' cool ist that.

Marc Bastide
I am impressed with the result, starting from pieces of scrap plastic and resulting in a nice space ship 🙂
I Have some ideas for a name :
Solar Flare
Bygul or Trygul the winged cats companions of Freya ( nordic goddess of love, fertility and beauty )
Time wind

If it is a war ship
Stellar Fist
Centauri Storm
Magellanic prowler

if it is a exploration ship, why not use a star name? some have a name calling for adventure
Epsilon Eridani
Eta Cygni
Wolf–Rayet star

playtime 222
Fun 😄

Thank you all, especially for the name suggestions. I will keep them in my mind for later projects. This time I have chosen the easy way: I took a decal I already had in my spare part box. I noticed that my decal sheets are empty but I wanted to go on. Sorry guys. Now making everything dirty is the best part of all.

Imaginative build! 👍 👍 👍

JD
Hmm, no name means anonymous. How about: The Anonymous 🤔

Chaz Gordon
Very cool, has the look and feel of something from the Blakes 7 Universe

JD
Hah, this build is so interesting it even brought Mike and Chaz back from the nether regions! 😛

Torsten
The color rocks, all looks great together😎

Christoph Kunz
Öha, das ist ja ein richtiger Seelenverkäufer geworden...

Torsten
Awesome, the last pics are a big act😎

Skyhiker
Looks mighty fine.

Spanjaard
seriously good looking craft. and those pictures with the backgrounds, looks amazing. congratulations!

JD
Man, I really need a tutorial on how to do that Photoshop stuff.. Great presentation!

Chris T. An
Thanks to you all. Oh JD, the photo editing is not that easy. I'm not a Photoshop pro either. I use a 20 year old version of Paintshop Pro (Corel) and by now I know the most important tools and functions. Basically, the background of the model has to be made completely transparent. For this you have to edit pretty much the entire edge of the model with a trimming tool. In the meantime, there are certainly functions with current software that can automatically filter away the green, for example when taking photos in front of a green screen. Then adjust the model to the light of the background photo with shadows and tints and then insert it as a layer. It's difficult to explain. You just have to know the functions of the software. It took me about an hour for the 3 photos.

Skyhiker
A hour for 3 photos is actually pretty good. They definitely give you a good impression of how it would look like in the movies. Very cool.

Skyhiker
When I look at picture 22 I can hear the Star Trek theme in my head.

Chaz Gordon
JD, someone posted on three threads I had been involved in, I was therefore summoned.

Or alternatively, I got made redundant and was gearing up to ride out the end of the pandemic making models. Unexpectedly, I landed a better job, closer to home, in 4 days. Still no idea how that happened.

JD
Beetlejuice! 😛 Congrats on your Player1 upgrade achievement. 👍 The Force works in mysterious ways..

JD
Now it's up to you to call upon the great and powerful Szwarc...
