Hello All,
I have been working on a 3D printed model of the
Churchill 1/1000 Scale.
I totally re-modeled it it in Inventor. It is about 90% complete.
I thought that some of you may be interested.
Regards,
Brian Patrick Montgomery

It need a little sanding....
I can see that lending itself to kitbashing--with a bridge there instead of the lower sensor.
Test fit of the major parts. But it is coming along.
The "decal" is just paper but I couldn't resist. Hehe.
I have to drill out all the windows for the fiber optics and there is a lot of sanding and filling before I can even think of applying decals. Not to mention painting.
I think the scale is too small to do pearlescent hull plating so I bought the Polar Lights Reliant decals for the aztec pattern. I will make the custom decals myself.

Are you thinking about making more and selling them?
I have loved this ship since I first saw it a long time ago.
I look forward to seeing your model when it's done.
I will have to think about it.
I added some fiber optics for the windows and LEDs for the Fusion Reactor Exhaust Manifold and Impulse Deflector Crystal.
I added bridge lighting and some fiber optics. Also the fusion reactor exhaust manifold and impulse deflector crystal.
Maybe Ingram next?

Sorry about that.
Looks good on paper!
I printed out my hull plate texture on paper and applied it to the surface of an old saucer to see how it would lay out. Doesn't look bad for paper and Elmer's glue stick. I may have to make a few alterations. As you can see, as I laid them from right to left and the curvature forced a spiral progression inward. No surprise there.

It could use a little sanding.
I just found this site after how many computers. Are there any updates? I would still love to get a kit of it.
Thanks
Bob
