Hello
I am new to your forum,

I am a N scale train layout modeler , and one year ago, I have discovered scratch building of spaceships; I was hooked.
I have discovered specifically this forum: it is amazing.

Let me introduce my two first humble tries; I am a newbie .

Welcome to SSM, Monsieur Small Red Train (is that correct?).

You know, I always enjoy seeing other folks' builds, but yours made my jaw literally drop in amazement. You're a "newbie"? Are you sure? Your work looks very professional to me, my friend.

Very nicely done, indeed!

Speaking for myself, I can see you will raise the skills bar for most us.

Agin - Welcome!

Those are really good firsts! I agree once you know you can scratchbuild something it's hard to go back to kits!

thank you, for your welcome and kind words.

By anyway , I am really a newbie for this stuff, and if you could have a direct look on my models you would see it very quickly

and yes it is "little red train" lol

Some say we are nuts, some say we are crazy. But we say we are creative and very intuitive and very responsible recycle bandits, we see what others often miss and just toss out.

We have the vision to turn everyday objects into beautiful and inspiring artwork. Welcome to the group and we are looking forward to seeing some of your creations added to the gallery.

I work on another project : a space tanker .
The scale will be 1/220 as in my first project.

The idea came from this :
http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=25

the base of a clothe drying rack

first steps
http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=35
for the main hull

http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=34
for the engine part

http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=33
the front (a part of a phone cell)

http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=32
this will be the center of the spaceship (coming from a toy)

http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=31
a new step of the rear engine part

http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/ptitr ... ort=3&o=30
this will be the global shape of the ship

I Post next photos later

Welcome!

All are terrific designs, but liking the big bulky freighter look, I'd have to go with that one as my favorite.

Keep up the good work.

I've always thought of model railroading as building a diorama that works.
