About this Blog

This is about the combination of two interests, Radio Control vehicles and Science Fiction models. Its also about vehicle design. The models have to satisfy two main precepts.

1. The vehicles have to work, ie be driveable, but not nescessarily win any races or rock crawling competitions.

2. The main thing is that they have to look cool.

Kit Bash Shuttlecraft part 4

Some modifications have been done which I think will go a long way to camouflage the obvious "helicopter" canopy and some extra detail has been added to the sides.
I also removed most of the rivets.







Next up is some more detail to be added to the engine casings.
More soon....

    Your a far better kitbasher than I, but I reckon it still looks too much like a chopper. I think you need to break it up drastically, in the centre or something? Get rid of the port hole windows maybe?

    The contour of the chopper is still too obvious IMHO :(

    My two cents.

    I think the chopper will be more or less gone once the finishing paint goes on. Looking good!
    Is that a little auto body filler?
