Stunning work on the engines! :wub:

Are those thin yellow lines masking tape???????

Yes they are.  Tamiya tape a sharp knife and a piece of glass.

Oh yeah lots of patience. It is very zen :rolleyes:

Well part of the lower hull is done. The major part any way.

The red markings will have to be touched up then it's a coat of Lusterless flat to seal in the goodness.

So far I am very happy with the way it is coming together. Due to commitments I won't be doing any more until next week. I also have to consult the Prequels Chronicals to get some definitive painting guides for certain sections which I have no references for.

The paint guide for the kit is some what off.  :blink:

And one other annoying feature of the paint guide is that they have only specified revell colours which seem to have no cross references amongst the acrylic range which I use exclusively. So I am winging it.

After seeing the clone wars movie I have decided to deviate from the standard one seen at the beginning of the Eps III so there will be some subtle differences with the paint job.

Thuuuuuuuuus classifying it as a What If!!! :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Well a lot has happened since I last posted work on this puppy.

A lot of personal crap has been going on in my life and so the enthusiasm for modelling has been waxing and waning of late.

However I still managed to finish the lower hull of my Republic Cruiser. I probably could have finished this a long time ago but no point in forcing modelling time when my heart isn't in it.

I am now beginning to mask up the top hull section. I am keen to finish this project now because I have others that I want to get to.

Coming together very nicely!  I'm looking forward to seeing this finished. :cheers:

I hope things return to an even keel soon in your personal life, Sisko. Very wise of you to let that beauty sit until the inspiration returned. And wow you got back to work without missing a beat!

Totally looks the stuff and you can bet I'm taking notes for when I tackle my Polar Lights Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise.

Your projects never fail to inspire me!
