Mass Effect Normandy

Just curious if anyone has attempted to build either of the 2 ships?

Mass Effect has excellent art direction & execution. I intensely (yet I understand, different strokes for different folks) hated the game play. Sorry, can't help you. Still, kewl looking ships.

Neither ship looks like they would be too hard to build, I just have too many SW projects to do a non SW ship! I love both games though.

I know this is an old thread and all but thought I would reply anyway.

I am at the thinking through stage of building the SR2. Just getting it all sorted in my head before I take the plunge. This is my first build and as Sluis said above the SR2 doesn't look to be too challenging.

Not to plug Ed's models for him...

The subject of the post is the SR-2.

Patterns are being created ( slowly ) for a 16 inch ( approx. ) SR-2.

PM me with your E-Mail and I'll shoot you a pic of the kit parts.

I've gotten his SR-1 and it's a nice kit. Painting has always been my weakest skill, and that's what is delaying my completing this model. When he has the SR-2 kitted, I'll likely get that as well. Unless I get all crazy and just scratchbuild one...

Thank you Mr.Brown

How do you create the patterns for your kits - I guess you would be using a CAD app to actually draw it, but how do you determine measurements?

I'm lucky because I'm using a scaled plan drawing that gives me four different views of the ship, I've blown the plan up to A2 size which will give a total length of 530mm. Not too big and not too small for my sausage like fingers

I have a certain ( anonamous ) friend with some super fine 3D meshes which I can refer to...other than that...I just picked a good "Shelf Scale "

Yeah I see what you mean - if I tried that I just know I would get it wrong.

I'm also an Eve online player - I wish there was some sort of size scaling forthcoming from the developers for their ships - especially the capital sized ships.

I just finished playing through Mass Effect I and I'm planning on building a Mako...

Mako is on its way too with the Normandy Sr-1 ( I'll be doing a review for it soon )..and the Normandy Sr-2 ( I will hopefully start wrapping up the 3d mesh for my portion of that shortly after the 15th of this month)

There, now it's all out in the open

The 1:35 mako will be available end of July..test castings have been done on all parts but the hull and the gun (still a bit of tweeking to be done on those 2 parts ) ..the SR-1 kit is now ( still ) available...and the SR-2 is coming soon(ish).

From the looks of the test pieces...it's gonna be a "Hum-Dinger" !

After that...Hmm....all I'll say is....keep watching kiddies...there's more to come

G-man · Post by **G-man** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:30 pm

wait....I would have Sworn you'd already talked about the SR-2 in public?.....oopse?!

I know the M-35 Mako was already public knowledge...

Someone over at the Replica Prop Forum's General Modeling subforum was working on one.

You were kidding, right? It's hard to tell without the smileys to give a hint.

Senekal · Post by **Senekal** » Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:50 pm

If these are still available I would very much be interested in an SR-1 and possibly a Mako.

Drop me a line perhaps?

modelnutz · Post by **modelnutz** » Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:24 pm

FYI... the SR-1 kit is still available
The Mako is being cast and will be available as soon as I can get some decals run. ( Al Wong is currently working up the artwork for decals )

The 1:350 SR-2 is still an on-going project I'm hoping to have available before end of the year ( stay tuned for more )

I'm very much interested in procuring both the SR1 & SR2 (when it becomes available). I have sent you a PM with an enquiry. I hope to hear from you soon.

you just did

Hi,

Is the SR-1 still available?
