Pillar of autumn model11/10/2023 I bolted five sheets of styrene together and cut the ribs out as a unit. The inner structural ribs were made all at once to maintain uniformity. If you look back up at the CGI shot of the ship, those notches will be where the Lifepod hatches will be. You can see the bottom section has four notches cut out. The second parts made were the top and bottom panel of the large section. They are one piece of styrene each, reinforced to hold the angle. The first parts made were the 3 angled Navigation panels. I decided to start with the single largest segment of the ship, as that will ultimately support the remainder of the model. With finally some progress to report, I have begun cutting out some of the Autumn's parts. and that's how thick the diagrams indicate. Most of the skin of the ship will be laminated from two thicknesses of the plastic for both strength.and, well. All I need at the moment are the full scale diagrams, my 0.060" sheet styrene, a metal ruler and a pencil. I'm ready with multi-page views of the Autumn from the top, side, front, back, and bottom. These are some of the diagrams I've assembled and printed out to help me with this model. The next hurdle I face is how to reinforce the interior so the nearly 4-foot long model won't sag from the weight. (In this photo, it's the dark horizontal section just above where the stack of books meets the floor.) The bridge is located at the bottom-front of the second segment of the ship. ![]() I determined the length from an in-game calculation of the deck height of the bridge. At 46" in overall length, it dwarfs the Polar Lights USS Enterprise at the same scale! This is a side-view printout I made of the Pillar of Autumn from the game files. In 2552, the Pillar of Autumn was under fire from a collection of alien races known as the Covenant, and they forced the Autumn to crash-land on a mysterious, derelict ring-world known as Halo. Commanded by decorated Navy officer Captain Jacob Keyes, the Pillar of Autumn is, at over 1 km long, in the smallest class of UNSC cruiser! This is the United Nations Space Command cruiser Pillar of Autumn. This is a CG rendering of the vessel from the XBox and PC video game "Halo: Combat Evolved".
