Big Old Bird.. (Of Prey)

[Mike J.]

Oooo, a sparkly!

I think I've got enough of these green bits now to make a big ass Bird Of Prey. Time to start putting all the sub-assembly's together.

 

[Neo-uk]

Here's the inner support piece I made so the weight is transferred up from the Bird Of Prey's resin hull to the aluminum sub frame.

Think I'm gunna need a bigger bench

Now that's a real piece of artwork. The scale is unbelievable

 

[vectorzero]

Wow - I didn't realise it was THAT BIG. What a fantastic piece of work!

P.S. When are you going to finish that kit of the Jeff Wayne Martian Fighting Machine?? ;-)

 

[Neo-uk]

I've been putting this bit of the build off as long has I could.
I think there's over a hundred of these to paint.
Very tedious.

 

[waynem0]

Keep up the good work and looking at previous builds hopefully most of the insides of each plate wont be visible as they are so close together so I would imagine the worst parts to paint and finish are the two end pieces but then I am no expert and that's where your skills are plain to see with this project.

 

[Neo-uk]

The end result

 

[waynem0]

now that is an amazing piece of artwork and the skill to get it this far means you deserve a heck of a lot of credit. All the swearing and sweating will pay off and its looking so superb now. Keep going, you are so close to a real piece of beautiful display artwork. The lucky owner of this is going to be one very happy fella and one hell of a proud owner for sure. I think this is the only one of its kind in the UK!!

 

[Neo-uk]

Just a little update.
Some battle damage I did to the cloak generator.

 

[waynem0]

Looks superb, love the internal component effect also.

This is such a rare piece that a permanent smug face is being ingrained as your building it, if you planning to show this masterpiece you'll be spotted in the crowd easily .

 

[Neo-uk]

Starting to come together now.
Cant wait to get my workbench back

 

[maxhebus]

OMG.
It's always been my favorite model from Star Trek.
This piece looks amazing. I really love the paint work you did on it.
this model proves that size matters.

 

[waynem0]

That is awesome. What a piece of workmanship. A real piece of artwork in the making! Has to be the best project I have ever seen

 

[DARKVIEW]

That is just wow!!!! Lost for words dude....

 

[moffeaton]

This is one of the greatest things to hit the scene, hands down.

Just a few thoughts:
STIG
Photoshopped (as in too hard to believe this is real...) & speaking of hard...
Its hard to be green!
Awesome project - still are wondrous things cooking in model-land (not to be confused with fashion-model-land, which is a WHOLE different story...)

Regards, Robert
