Finally finished the Blue Moon "Blockade Runner." This was my first resin kit. The pieces for the protruding pipe detail on the engines were really small and fragile, so I replaced them with similarly sized resistors. Additionally, quite a bit of the molded-on piping was broken, so I replaced a bunch with styrene rods. Overall however, the kit goes together really nicely, and I didn't have to do really any of the bubble-filling that I hear about. The main body is hollow, so I put a oak dowel inside, which should prevent any sagging.
It's really hard to tell where the studio model falls on the grey/white scale, so I did the best I could. Additionally, my biggest criticism of the studio model is that (in my opinion) the paint chipping is out of scale, and the individual chips and scrapes seem too large. So I did them smaller.
Criticism appreciated!
