I lost my pet spider while building minis

Or 'How do you build a shadow omega'

I've two random seeming packs of what are supposed to be ship parts. In there somewhere are the hulls for two Omega destroyers.

I guess somehow I'm supposed to attach all these legs the the hull of the omega, give it a black paint job and thus increase its priority level.

So... anyone have tips on the best way to stick these point bits on?

I just use superglue for all my shadowtech ships (and i have made lots !) but if you know what you are doing - pinning is better ......

indulge yourself with the tendrils - its fun

 

[l33tpenguin]

let me rephrase...

Its not so much a getting them on as it is where to put them. Is there better photos or a good guide on where to stick these bits on?

Try Googling for "Omega-X" as well. That turns up these:

Yeah... I hit most of those before I posted this, they didn't help much. I'm really looking for something where someone put one of these together and has a guide of 'this spine should go here'

Or, is there really no wrong way to put one of these together and I should just stick the spines on as best I see fit?

I built mine recently and was looking for pictures, instead i just did it myself on two main gudilines.

1) do the spines look cool in that position
2) will it still be easy to transport

so far, it looks cool, and none of the spines have broken off, althoguh i do carry my superglue and activator with me in case!

As far as I can see from the B5Tech picture and the screenshot on babylon5.wikia.com the spines appear to be positioned as follows:

Two either side of the forward section, high, close together, pointing forward
One either side of the forward section, low, pointing back
One either side of the engine section, right at the top, pointing forward and slightly up
Two either side of the engine section, slightly below middle, very close together, pointing forward and slightly up
Two on the underside of the engine section, near the sides, pointing forward and down

In addition, there are the usual straight spikes on the forward section which are also present on any normal Omega.

Looking at a couple of pictures from the Mongoose gallery, there seem to be more spines supplied than you'll actually need. You can either add Shadow technology to another Earth ship of your choice or invent a whole new Shadow ship.
