Interest thread - 1/72 Naboo Starship

Re: Interest thread

surprised you are having trouble with interest. How many to rationalize a run? 20?

As you probably know, stuff from the originals (Ep 4-6) always sell better. Basically, it's older guys with the money who want to relive their childhood.... I know because I'm one of them:$

It is shaping quiet nicely. I have a definite interest in this. I hope it doesn't get shelved!!

Re: Interest thread

Nice.

Hard to tell from these pix; is that a glossy black undercoat, or did you lay down some sort of chrome finish? Could that be a MirraChrome sheen I detect?

It's a beautifully smooth surface in any case.

Re: Interest thread

Thank you. That's actually gloss black LOL. I've been buffing and sanding on it a lot and I put a coat of gloss black on there to seal it in. I'll start the scribing etc after I get the bottom finished.

Re: Interest thread

That chrome finish is sweet.

How long did you spend on buffing to get that smooth high gloss black finish.

Is chrome finish Killer Chrome, Alclad or Spaz?

Re: Interest thread

Actually that's gloss black, this is just the master it won't be chromed.

Got the scribing finished on the top.

Re: Interest thread

Are you going to paint the chrome finish or have it vacum metalized, or perhaps chrome plated.
