Spaceliner

[animus]

Can anyone direct me to an episode or two where the EA Spaceliner is depicted? I'm trying to figure out what the aft looks like.

I'm going to have to watch all my babylon 5 now, just to find out...
I know theres one where lenier says he has netters syndrome, but i can't remember the name.
Or Which season it's in.

Out of curosity, why do you need to know?

 

[animus]

I'm painting the EA space liner now and don't have any reference of the backside. Just want to know how the colors stand back there.

Season 3's "A late delivery from Avalon."

Much obliged

 

[Shadow Queen]

Not a problem

Also 'Moments in Transition' when a couple of Omegas cut some in half.

mine got repainted turned out rubbish

I should imagine since it is just the engines and their housing that it would be the same as the section between the main rotating bulk and the foward section, plus whatever colour your doing the inside of the engine cowling.

Do not mention that cursed ship.

Ive been building one to convert for my psi corp fleet (Bought the whole civ fleet box, seemed a good source of Psi-corp ships) it doesn fit together... at all, not even the metal stick fits in the base hole, i had to total remove the inside tabs with a pair of pliers!!!!



Venting......


On the other hand, i'm looking forward to using them, hoping my hard work will pay off.

Assembly does require a dremel tool. Really, I went to town on it with files, dremels and putty. UGLY!

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

I've had to do the same with some of mine but some things simply aren't fixable, even with a dremel. My, currently, only two Omegas are slightly miss-aligned down their central seam line; the one that runs vertically through the ship from one end to the other. No matter what I do the only way to fix it would be to slice one half off and rebuild it with modeling putty, so I'll simply have to make the best of it. But on the whole I'm more than happy with the models I've got and am more than happy to try and let a good paint job over shadow any imperfections in the casting process.

 

[animus]

I drill holes in the fore and aft sections and connect them with a brass rod through the rotating section. I putty it up to make it fit and then glue it all in place.

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

Normally that's fine and I'm used to pinning the different parts of the models to get them to meet up correctly and hold properly but the part of the Omega I'm refering to comes as a complete, cast section. Generally I like to think of myself as a pretty good modeller and I didn't come into this hobby thinking there wouldn't be some work involved because there always is. Ah well, at least painting them should be simple.

 

[animus]

Wow... I just watched Late Deliver from Avalon (at least the beginning). The Starliner model is very inaccurate. I am hereby relieved from worrying about what it looks like in the show. It'll be a green and white ball ship and it'll be blown to hell first convey mission I get.

What? Michael York ruled!

Also, you can see the aft section of Earthforce One in two or three episodes when viewing the assasination of President Santiago at the Io jump point.

Don't be too sure about its 'inevitable' demise. They're pretty survivable in lower priority level missions.

And their low hull no longer makes them automatic beam targets.
