First off, I hope all you .spacers out there enjoyed your weekends, and I
wish you have a productive week.
This has been a busy weekend for me. On Friday afternoon I kicked myself out
of my post-PDX funk and set myself a goal: build at least two entries for
the P-38 contest.
Here’s the first product of a weekend of work, what I envision a Cylon P-38
Lightning would look like:

What started
off as
a completely original moc soon became much more. As I was showing off the
early work to some of the big kahunas, Adrian Drake pointed out that it
looked sort of
like a Cylon Raider from Battlestar Galactica. Well, I was inspired by that
remark, and after
a couple
more tests with the shape of the ship, I zipped quickly through construction
until I completed the model early Sunday morning (2 a.m... I swore I would
not sleep until I finished it!)
It was originally grey w/ dark grey highlights, but during construction the
ship really cried out for some color, and after deciding against the original
colors and stripes of the P-38 I went with dark blue, out of personal taste.
Please let me know what you think! I’m interested in any and all
comments/criticism about the ship! I learned a lot of things about building
while at PDX, and put a couple techniques to use here (g-snot made most of it
possible.)

Obviously good advice combined with da skillz to make this come together so
well. I could see the danger of this being the split tail on the back looking
‘tacked on’, but with blending both the slopes and wing elements together,
you’ve created excelllent flow into the rear section.
Using the cylinders in the wings looks great as well....give the surface area
some nice landscaping. The cannons are really well done as well.
Great stuff man....simply titillating.

I worked really hard to find the right balance of shape, detail, size, and color for the tail section, and it actually makes me feel really proud for (...)
