The main hull of the Sydney was constructed of stacked pieces of Sintra, an expanded PVC board. The raised levels on the top were made from styrene, while the detailing was made from tape and thin styrene. The bridge was cut off of a 1/2500 Ertl Enterprise-A. The impulse dome was a half bead.

The sides of the hull were carved from blocks of Sintra and glued on. More detailing of tape and styrene was added. If you look closely at the picture on the left, you can see the red, white and black tapes Tim uses.

Here's a better look at the detail. The rear exhaust vents were made from styrene strips. The windows were later added to the hull by applying tape, then coating the piece with primer and removing the tape, resulting in recessed windows.

The finished result!
