A number of years ago using 1/8" plywood, some index card, wood glue, clear tape and some paint I made my very own Scout Courier.
 |
| The Scout Courier as it is today. The figures are from an old Citadel line. |
I wanted it to be as close as possible to the floor plans seen in
Traders and Gunboats. So many measurements were made. At the time I had no experience in making scratch built models so my attempts at exterior detail are somewhat lacking.

| Rear view showing the three exterior hatches and two engine ports. |
I also made the three interior decks out of plywood and index card for the walls.
 |
| Cargo hold. |
As you can see the walls are in need of a major update.
 |
| The figures show just how cramped life aboard this ship would be. |
And now the gallery top deck.
 |
| I guess the access to the turret would be right in front of the aft hatch. Of course the decks do not fit inside the closed ship, too tall. Argh! |
I hope to replace the interior walls with something better looking, just not sure what. It needs to be thin and strong.
At some point I will be attempting a Far Trader also with interior detail.
