Okay Friends, Thanks Guys for all the likes and comments really helps a old fart like me along. So smoothing has been quite the quest this thing has give me fits but its really taking shape now I sculpted the bottom way to much so band saw took away the to much then finley got it close just getting it slick which seems to be very hard to get it there if I paint now it will be too bumpy looking may be I think all those divits will show, and scraping seems to be the trick should some red putty be in play. Here is where it is atm still got to cut the door in and make steps it is what it is Enjoy

Okay Guys, lots more smoothing has to happen. It is getting there, now for the bsg I am thinking about running some leds around inside then drilling out all the windows so the light can shine just to light it up some bit now here is what I am thinking big project ahead and here is the pic making this 1/2 studio scale would be fun and cool here is a peek

Yes this is what this will be 1/2 studio scale that would make it almost 4 foot or close very close. I think this would be a fun and cool build we shall see as said got to get this nav ship done sculpt up the little dude out there peeing with the robot looking out at him as on film also I have a duck awaiting on the bench done band sawed ready for some cutting and those fish are still hanging around as well lots to do many things happening hard wood is complete done job wifey can do it so get ready for some quest bout to happen out the in the old shop Thanks Jim

[kermet]

Okay Friends, Yes been lost out there in the old shop. Thanks Guys for the cool comments and the likes. So my furry small friend was a tricky fellow he ate the penut butter off 2 times, so I put just a small bit and set the trap very sensitive and got it the next morning, I reloaded it and I guess he was the only one I had one of those sticky traps and yep I just had to step on it it was hard to peel off the bottom of me shoe. Alright now for what happened next navagater ship is complete and shipped off to its new home, Enjoy

Okay Guys, here is what I have going on now seems like I have a duck happening, its really coming along which I will share. I am wondering about the lighting on the base star I think the landing bays is all that is lit I will research this chewey is getting more fur not mouse fur lol. I do have this gift I got and I want to share it and its the thing I had years ago and been searching badly for another well it happened, this is about the lighting. This is something that I am very lucky to be able to get because you can't find one cause I have tryed but as said I got lucky and recived this gift from a great Friend which might not want me to share for the reason of it being retired just found it and sent it to me. So Sorry Guys I know this was a tease but I am wanting to share we shall see. as for now I am up to me eye type balls with many projects seems like all the test was normal if I am normal. I still have a bit of shoulder pain but it has got better as well and me old knee is better as well, just reaching with me arm hurts a bit but I have been trying to move it to loosen it up. So back to the shop and see what will happen next Thanks Jim

I really want to share my gift I have pics of it and it will be a epic build, but this has been retired and no more will ever be made no way no how. I just got lucky and a cool friend made it happen. I am not sure if I would be allowed to share but I want to so bad alright I will with no questions asked here is the gift I will for sure need info on any lighting and it will be something to enjoy the build rite. So here we go Enjoy

Okay nerviously saying here is the very cool gift no more any where I have tryed for many years please no questions it was just a kind jesture build coming soon as I have the parts gathered and lighting please help Enjoy

Thanks Guys for following along on my crazy quest. I also have the bsg concept art build in me brain which might be here soon gathering bits for this already Thanks Jim

 

[kermet]

Okay Friends, Thanks for the likes and comments always very needed, My right shoulder still giving me some fits, my knee seems to be doing better all this is just something I am dealing with everything else has come back clear. So what I am talking about is the lighting on the bsg chaser lights and all the proper boards to run everything its got to be done rite The one that got crushed few years ago the lighting in it shorted out I needed some room so I place it in the storage facility till I could get me shop up and runninjg big time snow load caused the roof and much more to colapse I have searched the world over for another and a great Friend of mine came through. I don't want no short outs this time and I have a safe place to have it in me collection room. All my other stuff is in a much better storage place. So the duck is in progress along with many other projects happening I will be back later with a update on the happenings Thanks Guys for following along much more coming down the pipe Thanks Jim

So in the shop I have discovered the cluse's are back but not to bad, I just have to be careful moving stuff around and not get bit, cause they have a bad bite. been working on the duck bill and bout to do some work on the head then I can mount the eyes. The mobeius bsg is awaiting a new mounting system so that it extends from the wall. Parts have been gathered for this. I have a bit of the navageter ship I cut off which giveme a good starting point for another for me self. The cylon base is awaiting some black primer before that build can move onward. chewey is waiting for me to mix up some clay, I will get back to him once I mix clay for the ducks eye lids, Which what is left over wont be wasted. Seems like some things are in wait but wont be long cause I am pushing to get to the eyes of the duck so this will be another pintail drake some what like the last pintail. the big bsg is waiting for me to get the chaser lights and fiber optics it will take 0.7mm. still needing help with lighting info please share. also have most of the parts for the concept bsg and I do have the cylon raider awaiting as well Oh me so much to do. So here is what happened next Enjoy
