    Spaceship for Sci-Fi novel

    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.Click image for larger version

    Hi and welcome Pablo.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

          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.

                          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.
