second year project of the XGP from outlaw star

here is a model i made for one of my second year projects, i have always loved the anime show outlaw star and jumped at the chance to make the xgp as a model.

its made from high density yellow foam and the engines are made from the same but cast using silicone and fast cast resin so they are exact.

here you can see the lighting mechanism i didnt get it nicely finished as a put it all together an hour before the deadline. i was happy that it worked but not as the power of the batterys was not high enough to get the full brightness i wanted

i will post a pic of it working but at the moment ive taken it apart for transport.

i can post some of the making of pictures if people would like to see whats inside
