6mm Space ship (scratch build)

[Stroezie]

So I was watching Firefly again and I decided my little mans needed their own propper spaceship.
In 5 Parsecs you roll on a table to see what kind of spaceship you get, I got a retired scoutship, refitted as small trading vessel.
Here’s what I came up with

More pictures when I slap some paint on it.

That’s cool.
The things I like about these sort of builds is seeing what people used as the raw materials.

What colour?

[Stroezie]

Thanks.

I havn’t decided on a color yet.

I’ll probably just basecoat it in somekind of metalic color and see where I go from there.

[Mike]

I like it.
It has given me ideas now.. I will be scouring the house for bits.
I shared it on Facebook too, hope that is OK?

[Stroezie]

No problem, don’t do the facebook thing myself, but if it gets some more people to come and visit here I’m happy to have contributed

This is fabulous! I’m on and off working on a 15mm spaceship, quite similar materials – the body is a shampoo bottle. But yours is a work of art!

share that with us. even though it is 15mm aka crazy big! 😉

Yes please do.

I love seeing other peoples builds, both before and after painting.

There’s not nearly enough people showing of their scratch builds imo.

I don’t know, maybe people are a bit hesitant to post something they made from junk?

Well here she is finished, straight from the shipyards, the “Star of Verbena”

You know, a ship like that you treat her right, she’ll be with you till the day you die. 😎

Very much liking the Serenity vibe.
Will there be a topic that details their adventures, if so just don’t cancel it half way through!

[Shandy]

Ok, it’s not 6mm, it’s not a spaceship, and it’s not even finished, but on a whim I did some scratch building and made a drop pod for my Interplanetary Union forces:

The hull is a styrofoam sphere, the gun was scavenged from a plastic model kit, the rest is more or less household stuff…

Thats way cool, I can already picture it coming down on a pillar of flame from those big thrusters. Be sure to post some pictures of it once its finished.

Cool stuff! Very inspiring. I need to do a game based around a spaceport and build up stuff like this.

It is a double edged sword the internet, you get great ideas for builds from other people, but end up with so many ideas that you never finish them all, or any…
