Monitor in miniature
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 3:44 am
For my 666th post, I thought I give yall a sneak peek at what I've been working on. 
At Origins, I showed SVC the scratchbuilt Monitor miniature I had done. Unfortunately, it had been created from styrene and plastic scraps, but he was interested. Steve told me that if I could get him a castable version, he would attempt to put it in production. Real life has lept me from working on it until the recent holiday season (when I had a few vacation days to burn). After a few false starts, I finally got the major issues licked and began to work on it in earnest. I am headed to Chicago for a week tomorrow morning, but once I get back... I'll add the engines, the weapon mounts, and the small details and it'll be done.
Below is a picture of it in it's current state. As soon as it's cleaned up a bit and the above items are added - it goes in the mail to ADB; and hopefully by Origins this year everyone can have their very own, scale miniature of the montior o defend your planets and bases...
