Dioramas & Buildings / Lightning Bolt spaceship
« Last post by JPSA on Today at 10:02:03 »While I am dredging my hard drive, here is a System-X project I built for my young nephew a few years back. It is a spaceship he christened "The Lightning Bolt", and is the ship featured in the Space Patrol HQ illustration I made a while back, during the "corona confinement" [ shudder ]. I am listing it here because it is a bit too big to be considered a ship or vehicle ( although it is a spaceship ), and is closer to a building / fortress diorama.
The ship was designed in a 3D program, first, to figure out the structure, as well as which pieces to buy ( plates, in particular ).
There are two configuration: as a four-decker ( aka. "Phase 2" ), which was never built, and 3-decker ( aka. Phase 2B ). Note: Phase 1 was the original, a 3-decker version with some structural issues ( misaligned decks ), which was built.
4-decker version:
3-decker version:
