This is the Space Exploration and Research (SER) vessel BISHOP.

I was inspired to build this ship to reconnect with my scratch building/kit bashing skills. My goal was to improve my techniques, take a break from kits and honor a friend who died tragically.

The main parts are from a destroyer kit an unidentified anime kit and small F-101 voodoo. Primary parts for the bridge are from a disposable camera. A whole lot of details are from way too many kits to mention. Evergreen styrene was used for the scratch built areas. I also made use of an aircraft scribing template. First time using one of those. Lots of technique practicing with this project.
