Re: Scratch building help

***
The engines come from the DN.  The spheres will probably be ping
pong balls.  The girder structure in the center is the problem.
I may try to sculpt something and then resin cast it, but there
may be a better way, does anyone have any suggestions.

Does it HAVE to be that kind of cross-hatch?

Hobby(Evergreen, and some other name I can't recall) girder bracing uses
alternating diagonals, which, if doubled, could give it x's, but with a
flat piece down the center:

...looks like heck, but if you smoosh them together vertically...

Also, I think some older space models, maybe the Armeggeddon Russki
space
station, might have what you seek, but that XXXXXXX is going to be hard
to
match.

Also, if those are ping-pong balls, I'm not certain the hobby girders
are
going to be big enough.

Well, I've burbled enough.
