Thank you for your comment. I don't know exact length for making, about 8 days in 6 months of Prometheus project. day 1: cut a plastic plate in a VF-1 shape day 2: put putty on the plastic plate for a body. put a etched human figure in the cockpit. day 3 to 5: sand the putty and make the surface. cut a paper into four bits for tail stabilizers. day 6 to 8: cut a plastic rod into bits for missiles. put clear glue on the cockpit for a canopy. paint the base color and markings. (It would be better to digitally print the markings on a plain decal sheet, but I didn't. When I make squadrons, I want to try it and... use a 3D printer if I can get or use one available for enough resolution...)

Here is my current Prometheus. 1/700 VF-1 J Ichijo type is my image for Japanese TV program opening. It can be connected to SDF-1. In fact I have current finish for SDF-1 and Daedalus, and I'm going to post step-by-step descriptions in several timespans. But more details and inside structures are in my further construction plan.

Oh MechTech thank you your comment, and I respect your 6 feet Daedalus which is official scale for Nichimo Macross kits. It is a small scale for destroids, battroids and human, but a gigantic scale for spaceships.

Inside the bridge of Prometheus are etching human figures for operators and a captain. LED enlightens the bridge.

Thank you This topic is for finished one and the other one is for describing step-by-step scratch.

Flight deck is cardboard. For durability under the deck there are some wooden frames. Ship body is cardboard.　Here cardbord is as is to say, well, corrugated cardboard? From a cardboard box for vegetables or so.

Here explain CVS-101 Prometheus. On a plate of wood I made the ship body with cardboard. As for curved surfaces, I used wall repairing putty bought at a DIY store. But it was very difficult to make smooth surfaces. After struggling I used lacquer putty and sanded. Body and details are made of cardboard, paper, wood and putty. Prometheus and SDF-1 are connected by a metal item. What's the name? For fixing slide doors. It can be released.
