1/144th Prometheus scratch build

You, my friend, are a better man than I. I would not have the where-with-all to take on such a project and I am very impressed!
Best of luck!

Moving right along, can't wait for the next update. The way you show your progression is brilliant !

I just ordered over $150 of plastruct and I can't wait to make use of them in my builds. Quick question: Is it regular Bondo you're using to cover large seams and joints ?
 
I have been a model maker for many years, but I am new to this site. As I started my first browse of the forums, this thread caught my eye.

Sir, this is a brilliant model that you are building. Your prep work, attention to detail and modelling skills are just incredible. This is a stunning piece of work and I am torn between admiration and abject jealousy!

You are an inspiration to all model makers. I can’t wait for your next update.
 
Evenin all,
S'bin a while peeps
Hope everybody is groovy
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your comments guys, it really is appreciated.

I think I just reached a new level of geekdom ( I say fandom) as my wife noticed my eyes light up when I saw this email alert on my phone....lol

Fantastic update !

Did I see bendy straws in one of those pics ?
 
Unbelievable, I don't even know what to say, other than that you are a very gifted artist, sir! And I respect your creativity and patience as well:)
 
Greeblies Central:eek Loving what you're doing on those engines (not for the faint of heart for sure) Keep up the great work:cool
 
I just found this build and I have to say your talents and skills are just amazing. I have been building models all my life and I know how much time and effort you have put into this. You are really a gifted builder. The fact that you can look at the pictures and visualize the core construct is remarkable. You have demonstrated a level of craftsmanship that few can achieve although all us aspire to do so. I will be looking forward to future additions to this model.
 
Ello, Ello, Ello,

Well, when the feeling returns to my jaw after hitting the floor and the blood returns to my brain after a case of visual overload, I'll have something clever to say, but for now
all I can say is "WOW"......... Love your work and I look forward to your next post......
 
Awesome

I love the Chopper II. Such a useful tool, just have to watch out grabbing things from under it when there is a brand new blade on it
