Making scratch-built engines for starships

 

I picked up these four beauties from MOAB last weekend. They are the old Battle Fleet Gothic Chaos Cruisers. They were in very good condition with the exception of missing engines. So, I hit on the idea that perhaps I could scratch build some. If you know those sushi soy sauce containers that are shaped like a fish, you will notice that they have red lids that look like exhaust funnels. Perfect for what I was after. I pushed pins through the centre of the lids (be very careful doing this!) to give them some extra support when affixed to the miniature, and then superglued them in place by pushing the pin through the small gaps between the upper and lower halves of the model. Now to paint them :)
