Having watched this build grow from birth, through infancy & childhood, to its rebellious juvenile years, to adulthood & maturity, all I can say, my friend, is that you have raised a wonderful model!  :bow:  :bow:  :bow:  :party:

It doesn't matter which class it's entered in, it's GOING to win, no contest.  ;D

As I said a while ago, it needs its own special award, like Whiffie of the Decade! or summat.

Exactly so.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Well, thanks for all the feedback. It took much longer to build the model (I had expected about a year or so), and on some times, motivation got a bit lost, but in the end its done.

I have some ideas about some other Reban stuff, but this will definitely be a smaller model and hopefully one that takes not so much time. And, this will be hard for the Rebans, no snack machines......

Epic is right! Bothe with the work and the staying power! Great job!!! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

You can't do that to them! They'll revolt or fade away to nothing!  :o  :o  :o

Or it'll be a Reban prison ship  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well, I understand the embarrassment regarding snack machines....

But this is the idea for the next Reban model. After the technically advanced FTL ship, lets go back a bit in the early days of Reban space travel. Actually, the next should be the first Reban spacecraft that reached their closest moon, Bobo.

So more or less, this will be technology on the level of an Apollo spacecraft. And i want to try some new things in design, construction and printing. Lets see if it works. But I am still in the very early planning phase.

Tease  ;)

So how many moons do the Reban's have ? I'm already pondering names  :angel:  ;D

Their home plant Icin has two moons: Bobo and Tarsch. Bobo is the bigger one and closer to their plant. In 2009, Rebans made their first landing on Bobo, in 2021 thei landed at Tarsch.

At the time when the Rebans were discovered by Humans in 2127, they has smaller outposts on Bobo and Tarsch, but  at this time, they definitly had snack machines.
