I don't think so, apart on book cover art. Since this is the first TV series and we're still a long way from Trevize, there was no movie, I don't think there were any comic books, and the first video game came out only a year ago and takes place before Trevize. - ThreadSky

Thanks! That and Heart of Gold remain my favorite literature ships, probably more for the era I read them in than anything else about them.

There is a Foundation video game?! How did I miss that?

thespaceshipper.com•49 days ago

Journey to Foundation, a VR game, available on Quest, Steam, PSVR2.

Not a masterpiece but I had a good time.

From the days when I used to physically build my ships for reference. The main body was a shampoo bottle with a couple of A10 tank buster engines glued to the back:)

Reminds me of the White Dwarf that gave instructions for shampoo bottle hover tanks in 40k.

I believe it was a deodorant stick, but yes.

that's a fantastic ship! i'd read the book just for the cover

fredgambino.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thanks:)

Please tell me you kept a Pic of the reference 🙏

I have, and all the other ships I created for the Foundation covers. I’m travelling at the moment but I’ll post them when I get back next week.

OMG thank you so much!

I found this on the laptop. Excuse the poor quality. Made from found objects and detailed with model parts. The egg shapes on the central tower were the plastic containers of chocolate Easter eggs. I sprayed them with car paint. I spent far too much time building them:)

Was it based on any of the descriptions in the text?
The shampoo bottle gave it's life for a good purpose.

No. I set out to create a panorama of Trantor. The ships were incidental. Two paintings divided over six covers.

I used to do that with Vosene shampoo bottles, because of the weird angular shape.

Excellent, something I would like to do in the future is the reverse of what you did: go from CGI to physical models.

I remember this on the BBC with Mat Irvine, visual effects designer on Doctor Who, Blake's 7

Sounds like an interesting project or you could 3D print them these days I guess.

gmd3d.bsky.social•47 days ago

I tried 3d printing 10 years ago or so, Logans Run pistol.

expensive lesson :) at the time.

fredgambino.bsky.social•47 days ago

Building a scratch model will be more fun anyway:)

gmd3d.bsky.social•47 days ago

That's what I think, though I have never tried it before, but remembering the video above and another video or article from the same era, how using cotton wool as clouds and other tricks. I would like to find them again. :)
