Quick one today, and fairly off topic for the week. But I spent some time this week on my newest kitbash, the Starship Mercy.
The parts are left overs from all sorts of different franchises, Star Trek, Star Wars, Galaxy Quest. I might even work in some Battlestar Galactica when I am done.
I have to 3D print some items to smooth it out and I am going to use hot air gun (used to peel dry paint) to melt some of the pieces so they fit better. Writing this before I do that, in case I burn my fingers again. Sucker gets hot.
ETA: Worked a little too well, and I melted part of the lower hull. But I think I can fix it.
In the end it will look like a late 23rd-century (2295) predecessor to the Olympic Class medical ship. I am calling it an Asclepius Class Emergency Medical ship. I'd LOVE to have an EMH, but this is way too early for that.
Tested the LEDs today; the wires are a bit short, so I'll have to adjust that. I want the lights to stay on even when the sphere section is detached. I am thinking of installing a removable battery assembly. I'll need to look up the voltage requirements. I have them from when I did the Protector. ETA: Found it, 12v.
The idea is that it can be left on a planet to act as an emergency hospital. I'll get it all stated up.
But I need to finish the thing first.
