Hello Woodsie,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Here's my "what we did this year" card. It's probably not spacey enough for Moonbase, but you can blog it if you like.
I've been very busy this year, but computer work takes up so much time.
The Zero-X project has had some cool stuff done but it has been REALLY hard going. I have worked over every element at least four or five times to get something up to the standard I expect.
I'm in the process of cutting out the MEV windows* and I've drawn up etch line patterns to engrave into the hull panels, but everything takes so long and is quite dispiriting when it doesn't work.
I mention Art Toy snap joints on the card, but I still haven't got something in my hand that satisfies me.
* I can see they are not right on the corner edges, so more work there!
Here are some work in progress screen shots so you can see how I'm going. Those caterpillar tracks were done again and again...
Anyway, here's to an exciting 2023!
FAB and Keep on Bloggin'!

P.S. here's an interesting blog I found on a link through Pinterest...
As usual Looey, its a fascinating way of doing things you have in your studio and I'm in awe of your creativity. Merry Christmas to you and Mally and a Happy 2023!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and A Happy New Year. Good luck with your 0X project!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for an interesting link. Does anyone recognize that blue/red space boat with missiles that features on every page?
I tried Google Lens image match and it thought it was Supercar! Translate fared better, it's Kabri T 1 a supposed Apollo recovery ship. You can see the Apollo CM and Service Module stowed on the prow. "There are so many different ways to run by operating the dome. Apollo will also be on his own..."
DeleteThanks Lewis, found it! It is indeed a Aoshima Apollo series Recovery Ship CAPRI-1

Interesting how the box art has changed over time, from a true Apollo capsule recovery boat into a space boat with lunar background. If I understood correctly, it really served such dual purpose on a Aoshima Apollo mission

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. You clearly had a busy 2022. Your work is well beyond my level, and my computer skills.
