Sci fi hanger deck

[kingpin141]

Evenin all. My next project has begun. A hanger for my Bandai Falcon. This will be 100% scratch built. My little Bro made the frame for it all to sit in. Here it be



 The whole thing will be very well lit. I have a string of 200 LEDs i picked up over Xmas. The hanger surround entrance will be lit all the way around





 The LEDs will sit in trunking between the entrance walls Then covered in opaque plasticard. The floor is 3 sheets of clear red and green acrylic



 Then i cut a sheet of matt black fablon to shape and cut the deck markings out.


 A boat load of LEDs will be under the acrylic to give this effect.



 


 I'm putting a door in at the back of the hanger. I'd like it open but theres only 10mm of clearance behind it so ive had a crack at a forced perspective corridor
 


 I'll make the final decision nearer the end

[kingpin141]

Oh and a hearty congratulations to the first person who works out the name of the ship the hanger deck is in

[Leon]

WOW... That is awesome work on the hanger deck KP! The lighting is going to look great.

[panzerjager2]

Awesome concept.......

I consider myself a "star wars": geek....  But I got NO clue as to the landing bay name... I think they said the name of the bay in the original SW before the upgrades......I think as the Falcon was being pulled in 

[kingpin141]

a clue. The motherships name has no connection to Star Wars at all

[moramarth]

a clue. The motherships name has no connection to Star Wars at all

Well, from the R09 registry number it could be either the old "Audacious"-class HMS Ark Royal or the new HMS Prince of Wales...

Cheers,

M

[kingpin141]

Tis the Ark. Well done that man

[k1w1]

Like the idea of the forced prospective corridor.

[deafpanzer]

Too cool especially the light!

[kingpin141]

A bit more work done. I want corridors running around the walls, all lit from above. Here my first basic design





Ive also cut the opening out for the forced perspective corridor and another with the door closed.



And with some lights in the walls



 I'm also putting a control room on the back wall overlooking the hanger.



 Much to no ones surprise, this too will be lit

[Leon]

KP,this is looking fantastic!

[kingpin141]

Evenin all. I was looking at the corridor. As a prrof of concept it was ok and showed it could work. This is me first effort


Looks ok but the vanishing point is in the wrong place. So then i made MK2



Better but still not quite there. So step up MK3



And with the lights on



Finally the whole hanger will be lit from above. The central light will be held in place by 15mm square trunking forming a cross across the top. Holes will be cut in the trunking so they illuminate along their whole lengths. They will all meet in the middle to support the central unit which is this


Its the top of a air freshener jar/bowl thingy sprayed silver on the inside.

[Leon]

Your getting closer KP!

[kingpin141]

I've spent the weekend working on the hanger entrance. Lots of cutting plasticard.  I used 2.5 miles angled plasticard to support the little windows lining the entrance. 



And the same with the LEDS wrapped round it to see how it works. Happy.

[deafpanzer]

WOW!!! Just wow!

[kingpin141]

Evenin all. A wonderful day spent taping LEDs to the base of the hanger.  Then I glued the hanger base plates in place and Stuck the fablon layer on. After that I mocked Up the hanger entrance to see how it  works. Here be the results.



 And with the Falcon in place
 

[Leon]

WOW...KP that is looking fantastic!

[k1w1]

Impressed ! Nice work.

[kingpin141]

A bit more work done on the lighting. I've mocked up one of the corridors lining the walls and the over head lights.





And this is how the Falcon looks lit purely by the LEDS






I think it's working out quite nicely

[Leon]

It look like it's working out very nicely!

[Wes]

Just catching up. What a cool concept.

[tiking]

Love it.

[Prop Duster]

Great Creasers Ghost! That is Spectacular. Super ideas to add the forced perspective hallway and the over looking windows. 

WOW....... Oh, and I like it to.

[tiking]

How is this project coming along?

[panzerjager2]

WOW....

[dupes]

Whoah, yeah - that's a pretty serious gap in the updates!

[kingpin141]

Sorry about the delay. Lots going on at home. My Mrs is seriously disabled and i'm her carer and she's not been doing so well lately. Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon

[Leon]

No worries KP! You take good care of the Mrs. Modeling comes when it's time.
