One of the pink parts looks to be from the 312B.

K....both in pink are from the 312b buddy, good eye!

JP that looks fantastic!!!!

I've decided to make the engines out of a couple of extra sheets of mirror acrylic I had left over. I'm adding clear detail inside to make the engines light up blue from the LEDs. Hopefully it would resemble "heated thrusters".

This is just a trial lighting untill I can get the transparent detail finished.

 

[Whiskey]

It's looking absolutely amazing. Been dying to see pics of this. More! Btw, did you get the Famous Spaceships photos I emailed you?

Yep, got them. Thanks Colin!

The 5 footer is actually 64", correct?

 

[Whiskey]

Ok, after a long hiatus from my newborn, im slowly getting back on this.

Can anyone ID this?

Also, ive been looking at all kinds of battleships, but cant find the correct shape of this turret:

Thanks!

First one looks like a 1/72 tank with something added on top, but not sure which one.

 

[Whiskey]

Hmm...1/72 seems a bit big. 1/144 scale models possibly?

 

[Treadwell]

Possibly. Looks Pantherish.

 

[Whiskey]

Not much of an update, in-laws just wont leave!

Anywho..I finished her landing gears and installed the loading ramp. Worked on the cockpit cone. Started to add lower hull kits.

 

[Zurginator]

That is beautiful. If only I had the money to blow on something like this.

 

[Toddi]

That Falcon is seriously amazing. The fact that there's bit of F1 model kits in there too makes me a happy lad! Used to make them in my youth

Can't wait to see further progress on this.

 

[faustus100]

Looks KILLER!!!!
Any close ups of the cockpit?

 

[vaderdarth]

I'd shell out 2K for a 5 footer kit. I can't see it happening, but regardless, it'd be cool as heck.

For the tank hull, id be maybe looking at the ROCO line?

[ralphee]

OK maybe not a tank hull lol, isnt that a 1/12 F1 DFV ignition part glued on the top?
Meaning what looks, like a tank hull, is actually very small?

lee

 

[Nwerke]

Very small if those are shackles to the right of it.

 

[ralphee]

Your right Martyn, those look to be shackles alright, 1/35 ones too id say?

[-... . .- --..]

Those tow hooks look exactly like the parts used on the TIE-Fighter, at the intersection of the arm and ball. If so, they're from the 1/48 Bandai King Tiger:

 

[ralphee]

OK, the small round part, on top of that plate (that looks like a tank hull lol) is F 10, from the Tamiya 1/12 Matra, there are F's 11 and 12 too, but all seem the same part.

Ill try scale it to a 1/35 and 1/48 shackle Kevin, see what is closer, but the Tiger ones DO look good!
