I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. She was from a different time and place, but I just knew I had to have her.

She is being made using only stuff that is cheapest and finest of the cheap materials I could find. The lighting is done by minipods by B&D and they have 3 leds, very bright, blinding leds I might add. The grunt work is almost done, just have to do the dorsal and ventral neck and then it will come together. Lego was just used to approximate size and scale. Im working on building a few surprises into her.
She is about 30 inches or so long so that makes her about 1/350 scale. The saucer is made of two plastic trays from party city, styrene strips have been added to the sides to make the multiple deck look with brackets every 2 inches, the lower nacelle is a 2 foot long pvc pipe. I couldnt find anything that is tapered and the secondary hull is a sports bottle.

Well done, I like the detail on the bridge dome. It's a small recreation of the bridge.
It's like the opening shot of the Enterprise in The Cage.

VERY Nice! I have that Orange Ben 10 Fighter and the Krypto the Super Dog Rocket Ship too, though I haven't painted them white yet. I thought about making a Playmates scale Daedalus class starship a few years ago. Yours looks pretty cool.
