discussion Spaceship for Sci-Fi novel

[perigono]

Hello,
I am a writer and while writing other novels, I cannot avoid thinking of possible future ones. That is how while I am writing a medieval crime novel, I also keep working on a sci-fi story. I already have the perfect twisted (on purpose) scientific background that justifies a space trip, the dramatic premise that makes the novel of universal interest, and I am still working on the plot of the adventure. I need a spaceship, of course! So, I have begun constructing my own design with all kinds of greebles. I know you like this kind of scratch built model. I hope to report my progress through the months. Thank you for letting me be part of this forum.

Christopher,
No, there is no working mechanism as a remote control. I am planning to install some lights and perhaps make the white part rotate around the longitudinal axis of the space ship but that's it.

I hope so, Paul. I have very bad luck with forums. They are not always friendly. The last time I was in one, I just wanted to let people know that they can download my fully illustrated fantasy novel for free and they got so aggressive that I had to flee as fast as a rabbit. Hahaha. Thank you for your welcoming.

Hi Pablo, and welcome to the forum. A great start to the spaceship.

 

[perigono]

This is the basic body of the spaceship. I have established the shape and proportion of the vessel, as well as the proportions of its parts as a whole and in relation to each other. Nothing important is going to change during the actual construction process. Before attaching the sections of the ship together, I am going to work on them individually, this is, filling, sealing, flattening, leveling and "greebling" each and every one of them. That will take some time to be done. I will be updating my progress.

 

[papa 695]

A nice looking shape to work on Pablo, looking forward to the next update.

HI Pablo well please could you fit full size pics of your intened space ship as how they are hard for me to see on my laptop an to try an understand your spaceship build these are all just bits cobbled together to make a space ship are they ? but for me to understand this is this goin to be something like startrek ? to try an get a bit of background an uderstanding of what the ship will represent/militaty or cillivin ? an if i understand this its goin to be part of a novel yes ?

Excellent progress Pablo. You are doing a great job of reworking electrical scrap into a cohesive whole. It will be interesting seeing the greeblies build up.

Hi Chris. It’s a spaceship builders term for all the little hatches and panels on the surface as I understand it. I may be wildly wrong though :upside:
