I haven’t had the time to work on it fir a couple of weeks but hoping to get back on it tomorrow. Thanks!

This build makes me very excited, I always look forward to your amazing updates!

Some detail work, laser canons (both 3D printed and kit bashed) and the antenna. The Ball Turret was modeled after the belly gun on the B-17 bomber from WW!!.

Primer!

Absolutely mind blowing!

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

YES this is GREAT!

 

[SteveStarkiller]

Oh man, this is a great build. I love the greebles going into this

 

[dubbyse]

Amazing to see it starting to come together.

Just wondering if you have to do any post printing sanding on the form2 prints or are you using them right off the print bed?

 

[SofaKing01]

WHOOPS... I "Unliked" thinking I hadn't "Liked" when in fact I actually do "Like"... But I pressed "Like" again... Like ya know!

 

[DaveG]

For the most part the Form 2 prints are pretty much primed straight off the printer, except for cleaning the points where the supports touched.

Fantastic as always Dave...love the 2001 Space Station greeblies attached to those mighty engines

 

[Duncanator]

Great job , as always!
I really like how you extended the line from the diagonal neck fins down the panelling toward the cockpit.
Keep 'em coming, Dave!

This build is breathtaking! I’m impressed beyond words and very much looking forward to your future posts. Thank you for sharing your skills!

It's finally cooling down enough to get some base painting done. A very light grey with some darker grey and red panels. It looks clean now but it won't end up that way! I used water based Tamiya Acrylic paints for this, then the weathering will be mostly done with oil-based artist's paints.

 

[joberg]

Very nice; the gray really thighs it all together! Eager to see your magic on the weathering part of the project

 

[DaveG]

I love grip equipment. Makes the most flexible , secure model stands!

 

[swgeek]

And you even got the knuckle right.

Looking great, can't wait to see it weathered.

 

[canister]

Epic work! loving the details and style.
