Research Vessel ASIMOV or what happened with the SULACO

Choppa Nutta
Very cool Dieter !! 🙂
another imaginative piece from you 👍

good photography too, interesting angles
love the base dio as well

Hanno Kleinecke
I' m really impressed by your creativity and skills, this looks wonderful. Probably inspired by Mark Brandis, or am I completely wrong.....

Dieter Bihlmaier Autor
Thanks Choppa and Hanno. I heard the name Mark Brandis before, but read never a book from him.
It was more or less a trial and error method with Instant soup cups, Instant coffee lids and pieces from the spare parts box. The name of the vessel is a homage at one of my favourite scifi authors.
The destroyed vessel at the base is the troop carrier from "ALIENS"🙂

Choppa Nutta
this thing must be massive !!

"that aint no moon"
"I think you're right, Chewy, full reverse thrusters..." 😄

How long is the model out of curiosity ?

Dieter Bihlmaier Autor
Hello Choppa. The "spaceship" is 653 millimeters long from stem to stern.😉

Choppa Nutta

Wow, very nice and cool work Dieter 👍 I lift my hat for so much inspiration to build such an epic model just from your mind 👍
@Hanno, I do not heard about Mark Brandis since the late 70s. I read a lot of books form our library! Very cool story at that time!

Bernhard Schrock
How I could overlook them?????????? Wooooooow. Great idea, realisation, painting, finish, wethering, "Inscenesetzing" 🙂 and photography.
By the way: Supen gibts bei uns meistens aus der Dose aber ab morgen warden keine Joghurtbecher mehr weggeschmissen🙂

I love the model and I love the name – Asimov is one of my favourite authors as well, I'm re-reading his 'Foundation' series at the moment (book no. 4). That first photo is excellent.

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Very nice and well done ... congratulations

Spanjaard
wow!!!! great model and excellent photography!
foundation... i read all (or almost) 20 years ago... the original trilogy was simply fantastic. i should try to read them in English instead of translated as i did back in the days...

Spanjaard: The first three books seem very dated now, still, a good story is always a good story. The fourth book (Foundation's Edge) I have enjoyed rereading the most.

Spanjaard
i see now that is a scratch build model, even more impressive !

Dieter Bihlmaier Autor
Thanks mates. I have also read the first three books of the foundation story. Philip K.Dick is als one of my favourite authors. Especially the short stories.

I don't read much Scifi these days, but when I did, Philip K.Dick was my favourite.

JD
I have to bring this amazing work of art to the front of the line! I have great respect for scratch building and your work deserves recognition.. you have a new fan here!

Rui S
I've always dream to do This kind of scratch build scifi spaceship with raw matirials and stuff, but it never came to reality. Just a dream.
So I realy admire your skill, talent and imagination. Very well done alround. 👍

Mike Szwarc
