First I copied the iris valve drawing from Traders and Gunboats, then I printed it onto a used label sheet. I then pressed a clear adhesive tape strip onto the printed iris valve. Waited a bit, peeled it off the label paper.

I used pis striping tape for the black line between the white and red. In several places the tape failed and I had to do some touch ups by brush. I have another ship about 90% built and will be showing it off soon.Tales of that not yet.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06657453112939686209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952800670735337020.post-47106879499769837102020-04-15T18:06:00.001-07:002020-04-19T13:26:00.755-07:00Finally got around to this. The other has to wait.Over the ls couple of years I managed to acquire 2 Martian Metals air rafts for Traveller. One was still in the box without any paint ever applied to it. The only piece not in the box was the windscreen plastic. Luckily the instructions were with it and had a windscreen template.<br />

After several cereal boxes, a small shipping box, some chip board and copious amounts of Elmers non run white glue, the build portion of the Free Trader is done. The other 2 Traveller ships I built were pretty straightforward. The Scout was all straight lines and the Shuttle was a few items glued together with very little having to create things from scratch. This ship was almost all measuring fitting gluing and clamping. </div>

Well this is the build so far. Painting will have to wait for warmer weather. I still need to smooth out some of the joints between the cardboard pieces. I will be using a couple of glass beads for turrets since they seem to be about the right size. I do have plans in my head for a couple more merchant ships and maybe one or two small military ships. But for the time being I will be concentrating on getting the merchants done first. I do have a game planed that will use all my ships built to date and it will be at Travellercon. Til next time.</div>

I know it's been a while since my last post so here is where I am and what I am doing in regards to Traveller stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After my last build of an Imperial shuttle I decided to build another iconic Traveller starship, the Beowulf. So I put my best man, actually only man, on the job. </div>

Well this where I am at with this build. My next step will be to get the exterior hull over the frame. Once that is done I will add the top section where the passenger staterooms are. I do have pieces for landing gear and the thrusters. I will have to wait for spring before I paint it. Once it is finished it will be quite light since most of it is cardboard. I would love to add led running lights to it powered by small solar cells. I hope to have more on this within a bout 2 weeks.</div>

I had some stuff laying around the house that kind of reminded me of the shuttle shape so I decided to try and make one. It has no interior so it will be used as a tabletop terrain feature.

I have looked for years for a grav tank, any grav tank that comes close to the Intrepid from the cover of Fire, Fusion and Steel.

These Aslan have been used at two different conventions, the first was NOWScon in the Cleveland area and the second was at TravellerconUSA in Lancaster. In both battles the Aslan were on the receiving end of the short stick. I did not bring my camera to either event so I have no pictures to show. The figures had little to no flash to clan and were quite easy to paint once I figured out the paint scheme.

What every Aslan needs is of course a strike force to assist the squatters in relocating. <br />

My friend Keith recommended the Ravenstar Mercury tanks as having an Aslan look, and I agreed. So I purchased four tanks along with four troop transports and one command car. I wanted them to have a similar look and of course camouflage. So I went looking on YouTube for other peoples examples and tutorials. I found a guy who used Silly Putty to help in painting some Sherman tanks. </div>

All in all I like the look of the models and I think they will see action soon. Now I just need to get the troops painted up. Using the Silly Putty took a little patience it didn't stick at first, just a little pressure to make it stick. The Silly Putty is reusable and didn't harm the paint or leave any residue. </div>

I know starships don't really have or require a keel but these are "ships" so why not. Years ago, actually decades now, I purchased the little book Traders and Gunboats. I really liked the Far Trader so I took some graph paper and made a scale floor plan for use in many Traveller adventures. </div>

My thoughts on working with this kit. For the most part a well cast set, not much to clean. On the power plant there was a spot where two cables blended into one making it difficult to paint it as two cables. On the missile pods some work with filing to get them to fit into the bases. I had to drill out the two holes where the antennas had to be inserted. The biggest problem I had was deciding how to paint it. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all I like the look of the set, it definitely looks like it belongs in a scifi setting. The docking connector fits snugly onto the tops of both the lower hab domes and the block house. I glued the docking connector onto the bottom the both upper hab domes to keep the upper had domes from slipping off when used. </div>

Ion Age Habitation Base. Now that the weather has finally begun to warm up I can once again use spray primer in the great outdoors. A few months ago The Ion Age had a sale featuring their Habitation Dome Riser System and I decided to get their Habitation base. <br />

I wanted it to be as close as possible to the floor plans seen in <u>Traders and Gunboats.</u> So many measurements were made.

I hope to replace the interior walls with something better looking, just not sure what. It needs to be thin and strong. <div>

We ran out of time this being a Sunday convention game so we called it a pirate victory. Assessment: the Close Escort was king of the battle with it's heavy armor and array of weapons the rescue team was no match for it. The fighters did prove to be elusive keeping themselves just out of full damage range. . </div>
