The process of the docking ring. I have made this by glueing several thin strips together in a circle. |
The huge scar on the right docking ring. The scratches are not from the 32" model but from the 5'. But i think they locked cool and thats why I added them on my model. |
|
Making the details. |
The right ring is attached to the model and all the details are too. |
|
|
To make these I first used a lathe to make both rings out of word, then covered them in styrene. |
Test fit. |

This is one of the jawplates for the inside area of the jaws. This is not accurate at all, becourse I didn't have any good ref. pictures of this area. But I manage to build them in a way so they looks like the original. 10/24/01 |
Painted with the base colour. Its kind of funny. The detailing changes apperence when it all has the same color. It looks much better. - 11/01/01 |
