Early mock up shots of the ACM Iowa II, Space battleship.

Guest

Here's are some early mockup shots of the ACM ( Alliance Combined Military ) Iowa II.
The original Iowa was destroyed by a character named Uncle 5 and there is no diorama for it.
Depending on what other 1/6 sites you have been to, you may have seen this previously.
The Bridge, while " Trekish" in initial appearance ( yes I AM a fan ) is intended to be more of a C&C.
The four consoles are arranged Roger Young style with the Captain and other officers working at stations around the floor.
There is no Captain's Throne and the C&C is buried inside the armor of the ship, not sitting on top.
I've also included so early mock ups of engineering, though most of this is not going to be used.
Still, it's for fun.
Hope you enjoy!

Okay, this is, like, seriously cool! I could probably inundate you with questions, but I'll keep it simple for now:

Do you plan to include everything in one huge model, or will you build each compartment as a separate, self-contained diorama?

Actually, ask away. Believe it or not, questions help me come up with ideas.
Do to space restrictions ( pun intended ) the various areas are going to be built separately.
The C&C actually has a top, but it was damaged in an accident and needs repair.

it's coming along pretty good

Looking very good...I particularly like the Star Trek style curved consoles!

Fantastic work!! cheers

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That really is quite something! amazing work! It must be huge! I am really enjoying your build uploads bounce

Amazing use of LEDs... cheers

What ever happened to PBFresh? He was extremely active on the forum for about three months in mid-2018, and then disappeared!
Hope he's okay!
Does anybody know him or know anything about him?

I'm afraid not, he hasn't been on for a long time now?

Cool! This combines the look both of Star Trek and the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
