NeilHi WhiteGlint & S M 🙂 Excellent! I've pretty much got it built already. I'll get some pictures loaded asap - hopefully tonight 👍

NeilYeah, started it last night. I just set myself the task of using all the parts and building as I went. Whether you'll think it looks any good or not is a different matter of course! Think a bit 'Steam Punk' in style 😉 I'll get the card outta the camera and get the piccies on here 👍

NeilHi Spanjaard and Robert 🙂 Great to have you here also 🙂 👍 Here's hoping it's any good!

NeilHa-ha Robert. I get yer meaning... Yeah the threatening bit just sort of 'grew' out of the bits on the bench! Still a spaceship's gotta have a big gun, surely? I'll get the newer pics on tomorrow 👍

NeilThanks guys 🙂 You're all being very kind. I took some more pictures last night, so will get them on here later.

Neil@David - I hope my finished product will be worthy of your curiosity 🙂 @JD - it could go either way, my spirit may be crushed or soar - who knows?! @David H - Cheers just be careful with that popcorn we're in zero gravity now and @Bruce - yeah that's one way of describing my 'efforts' 👍

Robin (WhiteGlint)That vertical part sure is curious. I am very interested how it will look in the end. 👍

NeilHi WhiteGlint 👍 Thanks for dropping back again 🙂 Hopefully it'll work out? I figured as there's no real requirement for a spaceship to be aerodynamic or streamlined and as another lifeform could also potentially be any shape. I thought I'd go a little bit bonkers and just flip the habitat part. Of course it could end up looking terrible!

Thomas EspeOh, another one, this looks promising. Now I really regret selling my hawk a little while back... This is inspiring.

Robert PodkońskiI am not an expert at all, but in my eyes this looks a bit like some Transformer now 😉

Bruce HuxtableI'm looking forward to seeing how you add colour and bring this ship to life 🙂

Neil@Robert, well flattered with that as a suggestion 😊 I'll take that! 👍 @Bruce, thanks, I have actually gloss black primed it now. So likely a gunmetal paint job or a Red Dwarf red maybe? Not sure... Any thoughts? Course no matter what colour I choose it may still look rubbish!

JDPerhaps imagining a backstory of this ship's purpose may indicate it's colors and markings? Looks like a combat vessel for sure, but maybe the missiles are actually weather vanes or something. Let's see that black primer..😁

Bruce HuxtableBuilding up the coloured details is making it more and more interesting 🙂

RvHi Neil ! Just discovered your project, glad to follow that from now. Great job so far !

NeilI'll likely do another (much bigger and better) kit bash again... For now I just wanted to get this album finished and reveal imagery uploaded. I never colour correct my images on here - as that's a large part of my day job, which I purposely try and avoid in my free time. However I did 'cheat' a little; not as much as I could! And quickly mocked up the front cover for this album as obviously space travel photography would be a bit difficult for me!... That's all folks! 🙂 👍

Album info
I've been inspired by Rv's album: Space fighter | Album by Hikaru (1:48) to create my own version by 'bashing' the same Hawk 1/72 kit. I'll be working this one up using all the original parts in the kit. Letting my imagination run. Creating something that hopefully looks alien.
