As a bit of light relief, I recently built a couple of small and simple 'retro' spacecraft

Here they are with the resin parts assembled and joins filled

....and a day later, with a coat of paint and some decals. Just need a coat of laquer to seal everything, then time for some proper pics

Now they look like space ships should look like  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Lovely nostalgia trip
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Very 'Arthur C Clark' in character.  :thumbsup: :bow:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
