FA Brakiri Ship Scratch build

[crucible_orc]

In B5 Wars the ship was a lemon. it never really worked well, and was underpowered for it's weapon loadout. sttas for this thing will likely be done for a refitted version which isn't as useless.

I'll Post more pics of different angles once it's painted.

What did you make it out of to start with?

 

[crucible_orc]

the ships are made almost entirely out of Evergreen plasticard, of various thinkness'. i do use some Lepage PolyInstafil for gaps and such.

here are pics of the Corumai painted:

the Corumai is main body is not as thick as it may look in the pictures(they are all on slight angles so it's misleading)it's about 6mm thick.

Personally I'm a fan of my own version of the Brivoki: a cross of abbai and Brakiri engineering, based on a narrowed and lengthened courami hull

I love the side profile of the Corumai. The top however has always seemed too large. (The original design, not your model) It seems to broad for the Brakiri design aesthetic. Are you thinking about casting these?

wow...awesome work. you be are an true scratchbuilder. :wink:
you earned my respect.
an other question? do you have a plan to scratchbuild a new brivoki,
like this on the reply?

Apachex,
I think if there was more detail on the top of the ship, it would look less odd from that angle. Unfortunately, i can't think of anything to add. I think that the Corumai almost fits in the same "horizontal" design ethic as the Brokados, it's just that they filled in the middle. if the Base model had fighters, i could justify adding fighter launch bays or something along the flat open surface on the top, but i want it to act well for both the Corumai and the Lykorai.

Urobach,
I'm good with smooth designs or blocky designs, but the abbai are very odd and I would guess that it would be difficult to scratch build that style, and not look like garbage. the other problem is that i really don't like the look of most of the Abbai ship designs. I'm not sure I'd want to scratch build something i don't like.

Antoph will get painted and posted tommorrow.

Don't worry Urobach, I plan on scratchbuilding the design I posted sometime in the future.
