Are you putting it on Starship modeler as well ?

You know Steve, I've had a build thread on there for quite a while with not much interest.  Since I posted finished pics a week ago there have been three replies, and one of those was our own Puddingwrestler, so I dont think they like it that much.  To be honest I sometimes think that if it doesn't go Where No Man Has Gone Before or come from A Long Time Ago they don't really care that much over there.

Well thats a shame but if I was you I'd be putting in to a comp somewhere

Beautiful! All de details, the main shape, the painting Masterpiece! Thanx for sharing 

[Weaver]

I think it's the paint job that makes the difference: the size of the lettering and the little details are all just right, and that makes you see it "in-scale", if you see what I mean.

Put it another way: even knowing what it's made from, you still have to force yourself to see the airplane shapes. Relax and look away for a moment and it jumps straight back to being a big spaceship rather than a collection of (relatively) small aircraft parts.

Class job, Sir!

Agree with all the other comments I get a similar lack of interest at SM. I don't get it :huh:Luckily I found this site which is clearly the best worldwide modeling site on the web

Thanks for those Nick.  Truly inspirational - I was talking to Terry on Sunday about my plans for an Imperial Roman starship......

Stunning

I didn't reply on the SM board because I had already drooled so much over here, but I was surprised at the lack of responses over there because I seriously think this is one of the most kickass space ships I have ever seen.

Agreed. This is Sci Fi modeling at its best, taking a bunch of pieces from a bunch of kits, creating a few jobs for certain pieces, adjusting everything until you are satisfied and painting it! Im shocked it hasn't received the attention it deserves.

Seconded.

I'd maybe put a reply on anyway, sometimes it takes a few posts to get peoples interest up.  I've found that here sometimes, threads don't seem to get lively until they have about five posts, I've sometimes seen them languish for a little while then shoot off when people get on the bandwagon & start firing ideas off each other.
