So this was one of the projects I started over summer break. I am a little bit past the progress in this photo but as of now I am at a stand still because I don't have access to a lathe and Don't how else I could build the thruster engines. Lmk what you think or if you know of another way to make the engines

[Tamer]

Are there any other vehicles you could cut em off of?

Love what you have done so far. I have been thinking of doing this with plasticard and for the thrusters I was thinking of using old Vallejo paint bottles they would need a little work and you would have to use two to make one thruster but it is a cheap way of doing them.

Tamer, I've been looking but with no luck
Hemble I think I may steal your idea...

[spudafett]

awesome.  this, or something similar, was going to be my next project...

[Mr. Black]

I agree with Hemble: look around and see if you can items that are roughly the same size and shape of the thrusters.

Any updates?

[rex smoke]

I'm sorry to say this but no... Ran into some issues with making the thrusters since I don't have access to a lathe. Once I get those done I'll be up and running.

Very cool man, hope to see more on this build.

Really cool project. With the thrusters the way I would try is to build a foam or clay base in the shape of the thruster add your greebles then cover in shaped styrene. You can use hot water to shape styrene sheets. It might take a few tries but its worth a shot. Just a suggestion I'm no master by any means.
