USS EURISKO - Airbrush Update 1
Hi All,
The fact that the Cylon Resurrection NAS has been delayed by the rediculous prices if HDD's and I have started another build - 2001 - A Case Modyssey, does not mean that the work on the EURISKO is halted.
I am currently venturing into the world of airbushing and here is the first update.
Because of the softness of the depron (I would definately go with Styrene next time) it needs a lot of fixing up before the final layers of paint can be shot with the airbrush pistol.
Seems are a real bitch as i cannot use normal putty as that has a chemical reaction with depron.
Also little bumps and dents are abundant as i have been building her for quite some time (again a lesson) I use woodglue to fill in the dents and then shoot another layer and fix her up again. Slow work!
But al least we are getting somewhere!
Later!

USS EURISKO - Dedication Plaque Final version !
Hi All,
I am glad I can finally announce the correct A4 plaque has arrived. I received a new designa and I managed to send the correct one to the printer. We have arrived at a crew of 198 members! This makes me SO very proud!
(click on the picture to get the High resolution one)
Ok here is me trying to be smart ! I thought of a little contest !
To make all the departments have the same numbers of starfleet personnel, I came one short.
Here's what I did, I took a name of a very wellknown Star Trek person, figure, modelmaker, etc and hussled it up to make an anagram. That person is somewhere on this list. I wont tell you who it is or where the name is located but if you find him (oops ...) You can win one of the last plaques. No matter where you are in the SOL Sector, send me the correct answer and my personal HAL9000 computer picks your name of the people that guessed righht, I'll send it to your house !
So here's the smart part:
To pass me the answer go onto facebook and look up the SCIFI OCD - Obsessive Creation Disorder group, click join to become a member and send me the answer in a message !
Is this me using dirty tricks and bribery to get you to join my group ? >>> HELL YEAH !!
(but if you can guess the answer, you definately belong there, lol)
For peeps that dont have facebook (or FacePuke as I heard the other day) click sign me up on my blog and leave me a message.
The contest ends at the 14th of november 1200 CET !

USS EURISKO - Size does matter !!!
I often get questions about the size of the EURISKO.
Here is a picture of a Cosmos S and a DragonLord K62 case back to back for comparison.
The hight is about half a normal tower case !

USS EURISKO - Dedication Plaque
Oh, Oh, your captain has made a booboo ...
Yesterday I drove 225 km (130 miles) to pickup the dedication plaques to discover that I should have payed more attention to my vulcan logic classes.
The A3 and A4 designs
During my vacation in Portugal I was getting restless with the time it took to get the Dedication Plaque's ready for you, my most treasured crew, that in my haste I have sent the wrong design to the printer.
Due to the size limitations we had to add a new departement called Astrophysics and shuffle the names around. During this shuffeling some names were made duplicate and we corrected them. I have sent the non-corrected version to the printer. DOH .....
So here's what I can do !
The A3 is exactly the same as the original design. This one costs 20 euro incl postage in NL. I have 4 of them!
The A4 is the adjusted version. This one costs 12 euro incl postage in NL and I have 8 of them. If you can look past the duplicates and order the A4 I will include this small logo I also had printed.
If you want I can send the corrected design to the printer and get the A4 version as it was intended to be, but this will take some more time (2 weeks or so)
I am so terribly sorry about this ! Completely my screw-up and I can understand if you dont want it anymore.
So let me know which one you want , if you still want it, or let me know and I will get some new A4 versions and use the old ones as mod material in a future build.

Please include your adress details (including country) and how you wish to pay, I will send you an email with the account details and postage costs (outside NL only)
You can pay through paypal or bank transfer and I will send you the plaque.

USS EURISKO - MOD Marathon day 5
Day 5 into the MOD Marathon and I am starting to feel the strain.
Must have been working on the EURISKO for at least 39 hours the past days.
All good fun but I am getting Depron-itis and would love do something else then sticking foam to epoxy. So I did
Yesterday I worked on the right Impulse drive. Today I duplicated it to the left and created all the wiring and updated the circuit board to allow for the additional RGB leds. Will try to get a better picture tomorrow!
I finished the design of the lower saucer but cannot finalise it as the baseplate needs be fixated to the deflector tunnel to allow for certain curves to be finished with depron.
This is by the way the first attempt ( a very miserable one I agree) to paint the EURISKO for a contest a couple of months ago. It was abandoned for more reseasch as after 5 minutes I knew this was not going to fly ...
Just a small thing. Finished the front of the EURISKO. The lower "missing" parts will be airbrushed to allow for some additional depth.
Also did tons of other small but necessary stuff !
So with just a day left to finish all the depron work its going to be close.
Got around 8 hours left before I go on holiday for 2 weeks.
Untill tomorrow !

USS EURISKO - MOD Marathon Day 4
Ok, Here is the update of day 4 of the MOD Marathon.
Instead of working on the exterior hull and deflector tunnel sections, I was working on something I felt was missing untill now.
The Impulse drives were just simple pieces of foam. This cannot be !
So started to work on some simple models to see what I wanted. This is the one I finally went for.
This is just to get a sense of size and general feel .. But its already looking better I think !
This is the final model. It looks a bit rough but I need to sand it down and fill in the cracks with the cellulose based filler.
Again looking better I think !
Here you can see the reason why I needed to build the models first. I needed to cut deeply into the wingsection to get the lighting installed. This is aluminium foil and 3 seperate layers of 5 mm frosted plexi to get a good glow.
Here you can see the layered approach to the impulse drive.
lighting test, the glow is ok considering this is lit by a led strip and not 2 single 8KMCD RGB leds (yes they will be constrolleable!)
Final result! Still has some light leaks but those are easily fixed .
Until tomorrow!

Ever had one of those days that you work your ass off and it just doesnt look like your going forward?
Well It was one of those days ...

USS EURISKO - MOD Marathon Day 1
Ok, Here is the update on day one of the MOD marathon
Current state :
Put a powertool next to it to give a better idea of the size!
The Wing section needs some serious work!
The bottom saucer section needs some love too !
Need to finish some last details.
See the little wooden blocks, those will be made into a slide-in frame that can be mounted when there's need for warp speed.
I also want to install all the bottom fans for the push/pull setup
A mountain of depron ...
The nose and aft section of the necalle can be removed if i ever need to get to the BITSPOWER fittings.
Jump ahead, second nacelle encapsulated!
That was it for day one , stay tuned for the upcoming 5 days of the marathon !
