I'm not usually one to post WIP threads, just in case I never actually get something finished! (That, and the fact that I don't think my work is anything worth shouting about!)
I figured I'd break from tradition this time and throw up a few photos to see what everyone thinks.
This is the brilliant Bad-Azz Pegasus that came out recently. It's exceptionally well mastered and moulded. There are microscopic quantities of paper thin flash, (in fact I don't think I even had to get the sandpaper out once) no air bubbles, and the fit is very, very good.
I only had a couple of small problems. There was a bit of misalignment where the middle and rear hulls attach, but it was fixed by cutting off the locating pins. A bit of filler and it was sorted.
The other thing is the starboard flight pod - it's tricky to get it lined up properly, but I think it's to do with the way I assembled it. I should have stuck the arms to the pod, then the whole lot to the hull. I'm actually trying to do that now. I also think I glued an arm slightly off-square and that threw the pod off at an angle.
I want to get the arms right before I permanently glue the pods on.
Anyway, on to the pics!
Fresh out of the box:
With Timeslip Galactica:
Loosely assembled:
Main and rear hulls assembled. Head stuck together, separate from body. Engines sitting in place. Trying to line the port flight pod up.
Same as above
Port pod aligned, trying to align the starboard
Rear engine section bulkhead
Engine parts primed
As it currently stands
