Outstanding - whiffing and knitting all in one!

That's got to be one of the maddest looking missiles ever, hasn't it?

Some great work on this one.

Looking forward to seeing this after it gets some paint on it.

It looks great! Is that a yarn-guided missile?

Damn you, those were the needles I had sitting in the stash for the event something actually got to me that deeply! What have you done?!?!? Oh, the humanity!!!

Well... I guess... I'll have to look for something else to retire to then, as this is just too damn cool to argue with too much.

Gee Thanks guys.. great feedback.
I still have a bit to do and waiting for the weather to warm up at least a bit before I can hit the paint booth.

Oh and thanks for the link

Brilliant. Love the look of the missile. Have an entire battery of these and they'll knit together to form one hell of an AA blanket!!!

Beautiful work.

Well 98% finished.. still waiting for some dust and stuff on the running gear, but could not wait to get it posted here.

So here we go

Once I got on a roll with the painting it just come together

The finish I was after was trying to show an older hull, modified to the AA TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) standard. That is why there is two distinct shades of yellow. Couldn't resist a bit of chipping though.

For the missile I was trying for a modular type of paint finish where different shops doe different bits and they are then assembled. I am pretty happy with the way it come out.

And the big DOH !! from the pictures.. I have not painted the vision slits.. that is why pix are good... they show everything !!

See what you folks reckon

Superlative stuff BB. It looks like it was a mainstream kit that's been well engineered.
