ZombieHunter26 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Pending builder interest, I'd like to start a CBP based around the "industrial" side of space. Stuff like you may remember from the Alien series, Critters (the later installments), Firefly and Serenity, etc. The goal of this build would be to think outside the normal constraints of the box instructions, and create your own little slice of space. You could build an interior scene, maybe your own space craft, a fleet of deep space freighters... Whatever you want, so long as it is original. The only real rules? 1. Be original. Maybe a back-story to tell the story of the scene? However you do it, immerse us in your build. 2. No "straight-from-the-box" builds. If you're using a kit, bash it for parts. Otherwise, you can build using whatever your heart desires. 3. You can use existing media for inspiration, but make it your own. Work the plastic in ways that stretch the imagination. 4. HAVE FUN. This is an exercise in creativity. Something to jostle the grey matter and possibly give you new ideas. Let me know who's interested! ....somebody find Cranky, I'm sure he'll jump on board.

Foxer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Isn't this a model car forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ira Dahm would be perfect for this.... I think he's already built quite a few things that would fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieHunter26 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Isn't this a model car forum? Last I checked, we still build things that aren't cars. And this is the Community Build section, and as such it's not limited to just car models like the other forum topics. If you're not interested in the CBP... There are others that would be. Positivity in creativity, friend. We shouldn't exclude a topic just because it doesn't have wheels and an engine block. That being said... I think this could be a great community build. Also yes. Ira would definitely be a great contributor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgunner68 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hey Rob, Sounds like it could be interesting. I've got too many builds started, but I may get in on this one - only time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieHunter26 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Quick update: Doing a little of spring cleaning, but once that's done I'm gonna be posting some finished photos of a previous build I did that is entirely related to this CBP topic. I think you'll all enjoy it, unfortunately I built it during my hiatus from MCM, so no in progress photos... however I will be building a few new things for the CBP with progress photos included. My first photos (once we get all cleaned up here at casa de zombiehunter) will just be to garner interest. Where's Ira and Cranky? Those guys would love this build idea...

62rebel Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 check out the Youtube clip of "The Leviathan", a concept short that Neil Blomkamp intends to bring to the screen (I showed ZH the other day) for some inspiration.... George Lucas let his love for cars spill into the Star Wars universe, yet none of them had wheels..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieHunter26 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Stopping out for some inspiration and parts tonight before heading out to the old man's birthday dinner. By the way... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Just a little more interest to gain then we're starting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
