First thread and first post here. Been lurking for a while, taking in the sights. Love it so far!
Thought I`d share one of my projects. The USCSS 'Nostromo' Commercial Towing Vehicle.
Seen a few really nice builds of these kits and picked up some inspiration from them, when deciding what I wanted for my own version.
Decided to make holes for the wires as large as possible. Ease of access, should I need it.. or should I say WHEN I need it.
Heating and getting parts as straight as possible. Plunging the heated parts into a bucket of cold water seemed like made it set the new form.
It also soothed my fingertips. Got pretty hot..
Testing a quick antenna idea.
More to follow.
Thanks for looking!

- Lighting for the hull, gear-bays, engines and bridge. Possibly fiberoptics, although I have no previous experience with it.
- Making new antennas and probably other parts. After going over the kit I would have liked a few more details (don`t we all?!), especially on the smaller parts.
- A display base, primarily for hiding power wires via the main landing gear. Maybe a plaque to go with it.
