Here's an idea I haven't gotten round to trying out yet, for simple spaceship models that I think would look good. This idea is based on musing about ways to make a model without too much finicky work.
The model would be anchored by a smooth upper hull, made of sheet plastic or foam. The upper hull will be mostly smooth plastic and should have some curves to it. Options for this include:
- Make a form and use a vacuformer to shape a curvy top hull.
- Use an airplane or boat hull as a starting point.
- Carve polystyrene foam to make the top.
- Glue sheet plastic to a few curved spine pieces, as if making one surface of a model plane wing.
Cover the lower surface with greeblies: random leftover bits from various models, along with pieces of sprue and junk from your recycling bin.
Prime the whole thing in white, then paint the upper hull in a light color, and use a darker one for the underside.
