Lovely in a mangled way , it does look how you'd expect a derelict in space to look


The crash wreck King does it again

It shows great imagination along with great painting,a sure winner for me.

Super job Si. Is this the commission build? If it is, someone is going to be more than a little chuffed with the result.


Excellent stuff.

Great work Si it looks just like real space junk. Awesome job mate

 

[eddiesolo]

Thanks guys, this has a bit of cheat as my dodgy hands wouldn't let me, the black dots are just black enamel paint for windows, they're supposed to be drilled slightly-no chance

 

[Guest]

Great work

Space....... The final frontier these are the voyages of the starsh............... Hang on we all know how that line ends. But battling the odds of space before the USS Enterpise came true SI-FI !!!!


This looks brill Si and also like the back story to its launch and fate. Love the paint and weathering of deep space.


Really well done that you can make out of bits and bobs


What's next the Deathstar!!


Really good build

Nah...... That`d be way too much....... Apparently Some Economist type has worked it out at $850 quadrillion....... and it would take 833,315 years at current world steel production rate.
