looks awesome! But you might want to check the grass to make sure it's in scale. ;-)Started painting the 3d printed parts today. Vallejo "UK Bronze" primer.It looks quite good when applied. Once the brass paint is dry-brushed on, it will look even better.View attachment 727042View attachment 727043View attachment 727044
All the parts files are available direct from myself....just send me a pm or email please. They were commissioned parts and made exclusively to fit Daves 1/700 Cgnus so all the baskets etc were made with 0.3mm thick parts. I would need to know the scale of the MPC/AMT kit and then add a 50 micron shell around the parts (once rescaled) to ensure they'd print.
Well the Cygnus was meant to be 716.98m by all accounts,(please correct me if I'm wrong). which would make your model 17cm?
Whoa. No, not 17cm. I just measured the model and it's 26 1/2 inches on my cheap yardstick, so 67cm long. The antenna baskets themselves would be roughly 1cm tall, I think (not including the antenna pole).
I've had a box made up, for the front armature part, but until the painting is done it looks as though everything is on hold.
Both primer and colour should arrive next week....
So, is your clear armature complete and test fitted? I have all the parts for this kit when it was first released minus the small antenna but was never able to find the entire clear armature templates. I think someone else made a front clear box but it did not work with the original armature as I think there was a gap or something not accounted for.
If there is now a complete armature template, can someone please provide a link? THANKS!!!
