Beast Command Ship From Homeworld: Cataclysm

[andersonmr34]

Here a while ago, I saw lidzet81's build of the Kuun-Lan and that brought back some fond memories of that game...

So, I figured I would build the evil counterpart to the Kuun-Lan...the Beast Command Ship!

For those unfamiliar with Homeworld: Cataclysm, the Beast is a techno-organic virus that infects ships and subverts them by converting the unlucky ship crew or pilot into organic circuitry (hence the gory appearance). The Kuun-Lan brought onboard an ancient distress beacon that had this virus on it. Of course, it starts infecting the lower section of the Kuun-Lan and they are forced to jettison that section, inadvertently releasing the Beast on the galaxy. The virus then grows, twists and warps this jettisoned section into a mothership-class vessel...the Beast Command Ship!

...um, so yeah, back to the paper model! This model was unfolded by YessMasster. This model was...tricky because some of the models pieces in the .pdo file overlapped into other model pieces (Because I failed to discover that the first time, I had some..."surprises" and that ultimately messed up the first build). Fortunately, after accounting for the overlapping pieces, the models does work out...just got to pay special attention to the .pdo file is all!

...I'm planning on making an end-game Kuun-Lan to go with it, but that'll come after other things (Christmas project, new Pyro GX)

...too many interesting projects, so little time...
