COMET EMPIRE MISSLE SHIP

[MrT]

A new project starting soon. This is a Comet Empire Missle Ship from the StarBlazers TV series back in the 1980's. I have always loved the ships in this series so this should be fun.

Watch the seams on her. Back then they didn't worry much about how the seams ran. Other than that I bet it will be a fun build. I am looking forward to updates!

Yeah these were made to be more like toys then scale models, I'll see what I can do.

Yeah and some of it is going to be white. Green is hard to cover.

Not familiar with the show but the ship looks very interesting,

Are you going to light this puppy?

Shouldn't be too hard. I don't think it has any windows, and if all you do are the engines, it should be easy.

I have seen one of these detail painted and this person painted a lot of windows on the model. It wouldn't be too hard to drill some holes and make a few windows.

Well construction has begun. Step one is the conning tower/bridge. The parts so far don't have any positive locator points so you have to line the parts up the best you can and then sand. The tower has what appears to be a couple of gun inplacements that I have spruced up a bit. Anyway here are some pic's to keep the ball rolling. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.
