1:6 Scale Planet of the Apes ANSA Spacecraft

The leftside of the ship is lit up! That's a nice treat to start off the day. It's the first I'm seeing it.

Yeah, it was getting late so i figured i'd give you a surprise. Wendi and i are already getting withdrawal symptoms knowing the ship will be leaving soon. The basement is our smoking section away from the kids and we've been preserving the ship with 2nd hand smoke for the last 2 1/2 years. She helped me get the roof in place last night to finish off the lighting. Thanks to her, the entire lighting budget was less than $5.00 ($1.55 per 9 ft. strand x 3). Sorry about the quality of the pics - i wanted to see how the console lights alone looked.

The ship is leaving soon???

I honestly feel like I need a few more hours to stare at it..lol
Just a masterpiece.. I'm glad I got to see it

Actually, we're still debating the exterior. I've got all the stuff we need to do it, but it will delay his getting it and double the length of the ship. I still have to assemble the chairs and i'll probably see you in a couple of weeks so you'll be able to see the completed interior at least.

I'm still in awe over the detail you've integrated into this.

[Chris]

Awesome. You can't get any more detailed than that.

Can you give me a price on making a 1:6 scale Forbidden Zone in my backyard?

[Matthew Sotis]

Wow, thanks! I put a couple more late nite, last minute pics on the first page as well.

With or without visual deterents? Fortunately, i know you're not a tire kicker, so i'll get to work on it right away. LOL.

The price needs to include scarecrows. Is there anyway you would be able to duplicate the "thunder, lightning but no rain" scene.

Unfrak'n real. I just looked at the pix on the first page. I can die happy.

You know, this stuff is SO much easier to do in the video game. I want to get me a Landon style lobotomy and just sit in front of it all night long. Oh, that's right - i do! LOL.

It really is starting to come together. I've been so fazed by it from looking at it so long, but now that the lighting is in place, it's starting to become more than the sum of its parts. It really is "All makeup and lighting". I thinks it's just about time to roll camera.
