Tim,
I think all the adjectives to describe this are taken so far....Tremendous feat sir! I would be hard pressed not to even paint her. Unbelievable as she sits....Well done!

I would be hard pressed not to even paint her.

;D And Millican will smile too when he sees that... hehe I dry-fitted the whole ship together one night and it looked really good just like it was, not realistic, but good in another sort of way if you know what I mean. Anyway, so I told Scott I was gonna leave it like that 'cause it looked cool i thought...you know... different. He really didnt say anything, but I could tell he thought I was nuts. He then took me over to the paint display and helped me find the proper Kure Grey...and that was the end of my Br'ass Yammy.

 

[TRM]

Well she will look amazing painted too! Will be waiting to see the process! 8)

Ahhhh, I didn't think you were nuts, I just thought "Why is he doing an ad for Voyager!" LOL

I think it would look cool either way, and hadn't realized you primed the parts before putting the brass on, which the darker grey primer (as opposed to the lighter grey plastic) makes the brass pop.

Either way it will look cool, I just think that as good as it looks in primer grey and brass, it will look even better painted, and weathered.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

hehe...well, as always when it comes the hobby, Scott's the man.

To be honest (*nice change for me) I'm afraid I'm going to ruin the thing with a bad paint job ... enthusiasm + ignorance followed by regret and shame <--- *edit HA! Sounds like my honeymoon! lol

 

[TheJackal]

With the skill (OCD lol) you already have, I refuse to believe you are capable of a bad paint job.
It's just like a catalogue for all the PE available for that kit. All perfectly applied.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

Anyway, had a couple hours on the w.e. to do a couple more things: (this tub is a MARATHON






glued but not yet shaped

after shaping...7 parts per gun?


Thanks for viewing my post -Tim

Well after picking my jaw up off the floor from lookin` at the first page, i then found the second page!!!!! .............that is just mind blowing work, i don`t think i`ve seen so much PE used in a build, in fact, i don`t even think my local hobby shop has that much PE on his shelves.......LOL, absolutely superb!! 8) ;D

 

[Robbo]

Stunning eh Boots ??

 

[`Boots`]

How many tonnes of PE did you order, nice detailling work for a 40 year break! ;D

Congratulations, Confortablynumb.

I´m astonished.

At that scale, I think that it´s required a extreme skill to fix PE parts to the plastic ones in a so neatly and clean way.

You have steady hand, almost a "precission machine grade".

Cheers.
