Continuing along now with the painting and installation of the main hangar bay. It's been drilled out in places for lights and I'm waiting on delivery of my LED tape







I've also started on the top layer of the superstructure - or wedding cake as it has been referred to by others.

Test fitting of the neck shows there could be some issues ahead, but nothing insurmountable















Anyway, that's the end of this update but I will post more pics soon enough

Thanks for looking

I realise that this is hard work but, Brother, is it ever impressive!

'...shows some issues....'? However would you know among all that complexity! 

Talk about awe inspiring! 

Some amazing work going on there 

Got more work done with the top layer 3/4 finished. I still have more surfacing to do but I'm hoping to knock out a fair bit tonight (if World of Warships doesn't interrupt me)
I won't go to crazy on the roof though but you can see a clear difference between the kit surface and mine. Some might say that's not a good thing but I like it. Besides, once the paint goes on the busyness will disappear. I've glued on the sidewalls and then will drill out the remaining windows. The roof is just sitting on there until I have threaded through the fibers - a task I am not looking forward to.





























I still have to drill out that center bit on the nose of the lower layer. I'll run some piping into it to make it more interesting.
That's all I have but thanks for looking

I love what you do!


Anyone with a different opinion can go grow fuschias, as far as I'm concerned!

You have far more patience than I.  And I agree wholeheartedly with our resident aged marsupial.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, appreciated
I'm hoping to install the hangar lighting this weekend so more pics of that once it's done 

Hi again

Thought I'd share some pics of the successful lighting test of the hangar bay. I'm very happy with how it's come out. The light's aren't too strong which is good.









Not far from finishing the top section. The windows have all been drilled out and is now ready for the fun task of installing the fiber. Joy

Thanks for looking

Magic.   

Woh! Excellent!

The most impressive thing about your work is I can look and wonder at how amazing it looks and I have absolutely NO idea how big it is at all! It could be 5" long or 55ft, there's ni way I can tell. 

Here you go, Kit! The model is about 2 feet long:

A hell of a lot of those details sykotik's adding are 0.5-1mm long!

Jeepers! In that case it's even MORE amazing than I thought! 

thanks guys
Kit, this image may help you. Its the top roof which is 15cm x 12cm total size. I won't be adding that much detail all over it BTW, just in concentrated areas





Hope that helps?
