Tile 3 - Tamiya 1/12 JPS 72D

Ok Jeff and all you TL builders out there. I may have stumbled across the Part A that Jeff asked about above. I'm unsure of sizing and just if I'm seeing one end closed on the slot on the right hand side of the part in the picture or not? If not then this could be it? If it looks...

Jeff, I think D could be cut from the sealab sink perhaps and we are looking at the back of the part?

Outstanding work once again, Sean. That really is a cool piece and something a little different thats for sure. Your pictures really do highlight how good a job you did with it. Looks fantastic!!

Congrats Jim, it's simply stunning mate! Wow what an incredible build, man, that is simply beautiful!! Love this shot in particular..

Looks really clean, nice work!

I think everyone whos popped in on this thread or even just knows how Charles goes about things understands the man doesn't do things by halves. LOL Tuesday night was a chance for me to see some of Charles building abilities first hand when i took delivery of the sections he built in this...

Even for someone that normally follows a different galaxy and knows nothing about x-wing's this thing looks really impressive to me. The castings you've turned out look absolutely incredible!! That tinted resin really highlights how sharp the castings are and even that looks awesome over the...

Cheers, Jason!! Mike, thats an interesting choice in what look you want and comes down to personal preference obviously. I use to just go with whatever i came up with but i got introduced to real hard core SS building by this fella and things haven't been the same since. I never thought i'd...

Thanks for the kind words there fella's. I'm still a little unsure about the weathering and Mike can make a better call on it once he's actually seen it with his own eyes. It's an area that as i mentioned, struggled with as i just couldn't make out a real lot of how it actually was on the...

So now for the hard part. LOL I sorta struggled with the weathering on this just because i wasn't really sure how weathered it should be. I used what reference i had (which isn't a lot) showing the shuttle from it's early days. It was very hard for me to make out just where the weathering is...

Well heres a little something i've finally managed to get to a point that i think i can call finished. I haven't posted anything in a while but i haven't actually finished anything since the last build and even that i went back and did some modifications to make it more accurate since i posted...

That can be a fun part the painting and weathering on this build for sure. Can't say i've ever really studied what Lee made for the show but it sure did look the part that we all remember from TOS. He did a great job really and even more so if he didn't have the reference that i know does exist...

This will look pretty cool as a display for sure! I actually was in contact with someone when i was putting mine together that had been and still is doing the same as you are doing with yours there. I haven't spoken with him in some time now but he'd still be plugging along on it when he has...

Now thats whats called a Battlestar head right there!:love Absolutely outstanding work both in the planning and construction of it all. Looking forward to getting some grubby paw marks on it soon!:love
