She's looking really good

 

[Glorfindel]

Love it Juan.

 

[Solander]

the painting looks great!
And I wouldn't worry about the overspray if I were You either: it is almost invisible even now, to tell nothing about when wash and filters do their job

Thanks so much guys, it means a lot next update shouldn't be too long, I want to get my commission builds out of the way then onto my BSC entry!

Ha! I'm there, too! (but i actually just busted out all the builds i'm going to do....started cleaning resin last night....)

 

[JohnSimmons]

Lol Nick, the time it will take to wash the resin parts in the kit I'm entering I could have built a model!

 

[nicholassagan]

Hmmm....I'm sure you have CONTAINERS and CONTAINERS worth of parts to clean.... ;D

I'll tell you what, cleaning resin is where the ACTION is!!!

 

[nicholassagan]

I just watched the trailer again and damn...makes me love this build thread even more!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Lol it's great isn't it (the vid)

 

[JohnSimmons]

Hey guys, I'm getting closer to the finish of the top with the colours. Theres a little here and there to do but it wont change the look much.

You can really see the scale of this thing from this angle. Hackore really captured the size of it:

All the panels:

Next up the bottom, then decals thennnnnn weathering ;D
Thanks for looking.

Rock solid awesome dude. Absolutely. Can't wait to see the lights!!! Are you adding cockpit glass, too?

 

[Jaitea]

She looks fantastic, like the angles of the photos

[ModelMakerMike]

It IS looking awesome!
The cockpit area/bow, and subsequent structure directly behind it, kind of reminds me of a diesel locomotive. I think the striped markings kind of helped with that. BUT it's NOT a bad thing. I love this thing!!!!
;D ;D ;D

 

[Jaitea]

John, what goes on the bit at the back?

J

 

[Grendels]

Colors look good now!

 

[JohnSimmons]

J that has a flat greebly packed panel covering it and thanks G. Finally everything's painted! I can begin the weathering now

 

[nicholassagan]

Hot damn! Keep at it!

 

[The Nylon Gag]

This is a wicked looking machine John.

Nice paint job.
