    Building a UNSC Frigate

    I completely agree, even though they still use them, it's only used a small percentage in films.

    Building a UNSC Frigate

    Thank you for the comments and suggestions everyone! I underestimated the time it would take to paint the hundreds of missile ports, which are now done, so the last details to finish are the UNSC emblems on either side of the stern.

    Building a UNSC Frigate

    Not really related to the frigate, but something i'm also working on in my spare time. It's the emblem i use for the Halo games, i made templates of it and after i finish sewing it, i'll sew it onto the other shoulder. [Painting of the frigate will start monday]

    Building a UNSC Frigate

    Thanks for asking, i use Amazing Goop to glue it together and i have never used resin or fiberglass (perhaps for my next costume) The rigidity of the matte board is usually enough, that it can take some stress. A Pelican would be awesome as an R/C, but i'm a bit limited in my abilities right...

    Building a UNSC Frigate

    Almost done! It sould be ready for the first coat of paint by sunday! There are still a few details and some major pieces to be made and added, but overall it is nearly complete.
