The cockpit taking shape


Today I started work on the "Bluebyte" cockpit section. I took a cheap toy helicopter and hacked it to get the shape I want. The leftovers could be used for future modeling projects, like maybe a fighta bomma?

I've bought some glue and I should be good to start assembling it in a day or two.

"Bluebyte" project taking off

Today I've started work on "Bluebyte". Some of the shapes have been cut, and the cargo hold is good for assembly. Next week, I'll start to put it together.

Planning the "Bluebyte"

"Bluebyte" is the name of the freighter I plan to build for the upcoming Apoc battle that will mark the closing of the Arenxis Minoris Campaign. Whether it will be used or not I leave that to the organizers, but it would be rather handy to have around, just in case.

Anyway, I've started drafting some simple sketch of the ship and came up with two basic design. One had twin-engines/thrusters while the other one only one. The single engine ship seems easier to build but is more angular, which might pose some problems while the other one seems boxy, with more detailed finishing.

At the moment, I'm still undecided. So, we'll see what happens in the next few days.
