[BFG] Siluria ~ A Scratch Build

[horizon]

Hi,
really good. !

[Comrade-K-Rad]

Thank you!

[Comrade-K-Rad]

Okay.  So all of the building is done!
Here you can see I fleshed out all of the details on the sides and you can see a bit of what I did under the prow.

Here you can see what I did for the bridge.


Basically I just look at all the BFG models I have as references and add plasticard bits until I am happy with the amount of detail.  I feel this ship came out much more GW model looking than did my Voss pattern attempt.  Not that I don't like that one, it's just no the same.  It was a great stepping point to get through to this model.

Going on I think I need to make the neck behind the prow a bit thicker and need to cast another weapons battery.  I would also like to cast the whole thing so I have copies.

Thanks for checking in.

ery impressive detail- you're right, it does look like it'll fit perfectly with the GW ship asthetic

Hopefully that can happen at some point. Thanks.

Thank you very much. Good to know I achieved the desired look.

This really is superb work Comrade! Certainly my favourite Siluria by some margin! 

I would most definitely like to add my voice to the call for availability of this ship if at all possible?

Cheers and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Gorlak!
Once it's possible I will certainly let anyone who is interested know.

Wow, amazing, jealous, I want 2.

[Comrade-K-Rad]

Thanks, whenever I get around to making some.

UPDATE:  I have received all of the necessary items to cast this ship.  Now to be known as the "Saturn Class Light Cruiser."  I just poured the second half of the ship mold.  That should be ready to cast tomorrow. 

I also just poured a copy of the weapons battery so that I can make a sprue for that as well.  The mold making process takes 48 hours for the 2 part molds and so that will be ready by Friday.   

Once I have some pictures of the results I will start a new thread that will contain any further casting and scratch building information.  If this all goes according to plan, then the cruiser will be available for purchase within the next month.
EDIT:  2 months.  Still need to get a pump and vacuum chamber.
