When I saw your update, I giggled! Can you imagine a grown man giggling?!? What could I say to honor your efforts? Well, if I won the lottery, I would offer you a LOT of money for this model, THAT'S for sure...

In today's world of CGI, it's awesome to see a build with this level of detail. I always look forward to seeing your posts.

Morning Peeps
Thanks for the comments friends,
So, what have I been up to, lets have a look.
Finished the outside corridor details, added some bracing
PIX
Bent the bracing over and attached to the sides
Trimmed the ends off
Added some wires and tubing on the outside
Made a small detail panel to go under the Radar assembly, I used a bit of a circuit board, some tank greeblies and tube and wire
Little bit of primer, Mmmmmmm
Started the radar surround top panel
Added details and a coat of primer to all the radar base pieces
I fixed a piece of conduit steel tubing to my bench so i have better access for painting and finishing the ship
I think most of the major building is finished, I have the cockpit canopy frame to figure out but thats pretty much it folks, so this is a good opportunity for a few beauty shots.
With the radar and cockpit assemblies in position, the radar will sit a bit lower on the final version
Now on to the canopy frame
Stay tuned my friends
Cadeus, don't forget your lottery ticket buddy
Take care

This is just looking so right! I love the balance of details. Looking forward to the "reveal" on the final paint job.

Ello everyone,
Birthday weekend update
Thank you all so much for your input, 33000 views, WOW :eek I am in such awe of the response I've had to my little project.
I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to say hello, it means alot to me
So, birthday week, what did we accomplish,
Lets take a look,
This was something i was not looking forward to, the cockpit /canopy frame work.
I started to construct the frame using an alternative cockpit glass
I submurged some tubing in boiling water and formed it around a smaller diameter than i required
I then trimmed it to length and inserted the transition bar
I then conscructed the frame on the dummy glass dome
I assembled small end details
Added upper detail on the glass dome to hide a logo i could not remove
After much adjustment i finally got the cockpit dome and interior to fit as i wanted.
Thats all for now,
A quick video to show the over all effect
Canopy frame finished
Paint next
Stay tuned

I didn't know what direction you were going to take with the cockpit window... Perfect execution! Fantastic!

Hello Every Peeps,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments it realy motivates me so much knowing so many talented builders approve of what i'm doing because i'm making this up as i go
On with the show.
Before i started painting i just wanted to add some do-dads on the upper wing so i cut out some shapes and stuck em on.
I then added some more details to the nose/canopy thingies
The long white piece is made from one of those little table shaped things you get in the middle of big pizzas
I masked and primered the canopy window back seal to be painted at a later date, also i want to dip my canopy in future as well, any suggestions about doing this and not waisting all my future, can i airbrush it?
So, my favourite, NOT , Paint.
I masked up the pilot module
Masked off the back and the detail vents on the top
Then a final coat of primer, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer
I then did the cockpit chair and all its details, didn't want to over do it, tell me what you think because i'm not so sure, i messed with it so much and it still doesn't look right to me, i got to a "that will friggin do" point on Friday. I realy don't like painting because it hates me.
After a very light wash.
Did the same for the rear corridor
I then pre-shaded the main ship, it took quite a while but i was pleased with the results, i mean, you can't real mess up pre-shading..........or can you?
I had to take a rest half way through to let my compressor cool down a bit but i think it turned out ok.
And thats where i'm at now.
I need to get better ventilation before i continue and a better mask, cuz in the end it was pretty bad in the cave and the misses said i stunk up the whole house, it was acrylic, but i have a plan.
Stay tuned folks, more soon.
Take care
