Joe Brown’s Galaxy Quest Protector
Here’s the Protector. The main hull is 2 styrofoam cones joined together at their bases; the engine pylons are .040 styrene, heated and bent into shape; and the ‘wings’ are more styrofoam. The two forward engines are pink Dow insulation foam, and the two aft engines are balsa.
I’m rather proud of this model, as other than roughly 6 pictures on the internet, you have to use the movie as reference material. I made a list of things that I should differently when making another model, such as a better shape for the 2 forward engines, and a stretched out main hull (longer and slimmer), but overall, I’m extremely pleased with the results. Five weeks from start to finish!
