Because apparently I don't have enough projects I've started a new one. I'm trying to recreate the embossed cardstock shrouds for the classic Centuri Saucer. I'm going to draw up embossing templates for 3D printing and, using a standard craft embossing tool, recreate the shrouds. I'll share my progress here.
So far I've done the template for the inner core tube. This is a repeating pattern so only a small template is needed. Here's a couple of photos of the template and the results. I don't have an original to compare with and I built my original over 30 years ago but I'm pretty happy with these results.
If there is enough interest I can print up an extra, "traveling" set and send it to someone on the forum. That is, provided, the modeler agrees to use the templates to build a Saucer and then, in turn, pass the templates on to someone else here. The goal, to fill the sky with Saucers.
I'd love to hear comments or suggestions.
