It's been a while between updates on The Seahorse, my scratch built sci-fi anti-gravity ship. Partly this was due to my overseas trip, and partly it was due to a lack of motivation - I lost momentum for a while there on the interminably slow hull build. But I'm back in the saddle!
Previous progress videos for The Seahorse are as follows:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
So this time I've finally moved on from the hull, and have tackled the deck surface and started building the superstructure. It's a relief to have moved on to the more interesting parts, as well as parts which don't need to be glued to the oily plastic of the soft drink bottle.

| Cutting curved corners in styrene is always a tad tricky... |

| The cabin starts to take rudimentary shape. |

Progress on scratch building my sci-fi scale model - Part 4

That looks really good! It must be superhard to make that kind of model. It would be hard enough for me to to start of from a tank or a boat but you started of with a plastic bottle and makes it look awsome! Respect!

Thanks Fredrik! Once I've painted it in primer it will (hopefully) look a lot less like a plastic bottle! Cheers, Dave
