White Vulcan
 

I wanted to try the Centuri Vulcan without using up my ink. So, I made a subdued / white prototype version.

I didn't have a nose cone for it and thought I'd try a different one.

*Nice!* ;) :D :cool:

Cheers,

Hey, that cone design actually looks pretty good! Sleeker, more 'aggressive' look compared to the original.

Earlier this year I did a vintage build from an original kit, but have not yet flown it. Unique design all the way around for its time and I look forward to actually flying it.

Gluing a cardstock cone isn't easy though. Gets hard to line up and hold the tip!

I'm considering a Colonial Viper type nose cone too.

Now to dig through the boxes in the garage for a 9" tube...

Nice!
 

Nice!

I want to clone the original, was thinkin' of doing it this week.
Love that design!

Not sure if I have the original. I made mine of the Black Vulcan I downloaded.

Thought I would add them here (if I got the right files) for anyone who wants them. I did update it a little since it came out so bland with all white.

With slightly different decoration and a different cockpit, it would easily pass for the ship from the original "Planet of the Apes" movies...

Later! OL JR :)

I'm glad I scrolled all the way down to the bottom of the "screen-page," because I was about to post that! The "Heston Hauler" (my informal nickname for it, as I don't know what the spaceship's official name or designation was, *if* it had one) would be easy to make. The main body was an elliptical cross-section cone with two Gemini capsule-type "notched-in, recessed" windows that were angled rearward as viewed from above, with a ridge between them whose upper edge was the same outline (viewed from the side) as the shape of the original cone. The ship also had two triangular cross-section (when viewed from the rear of the ship) "strake-like wings" at the rear, and two smaller triangular cross-section "strake-like canards" up front. If trimmed properly, it might make a decent, if fast-gliding, boost-glider.

Soooo.
 

Sooo, have you built this yet? :rolleyes: :p

Because it would be AWESOME! :eek: :cool:

Cheers,
