Battlestar Habakkuk......the space aircraft carrier?

[seadude]

And I just got done adding a secondary bridge to the head of the Galactica model. My thinking is: Since this'll be a larger "Viper carrier" with four flight pods, the secondary upper bridge will act as the main flight operations center for all Viper flight ops and combat situations. The regular lower main bridge will still be in it's usual location and control all other ship and combat functions. I don't care if these bridge parts aren't accurate in terms of size, style, etc. I'm just doing this kitbash project for fun. And I don't have the money right now to get better parts anyway.

corrrrrrrrrrrrr?  You mean "cool", right?   Just wait until you see all the guns I'm gonna put on this ship.  But..........further progress is delayed due to painting problems. Airbrushing is out of the question as I don't have an airbrush and have bad eyesight to use one. Spray cans probably won't work as there are too many holes, nooks, crannies, and tight spaces all over this kit where I need the paint to go. I tried doing some brush painting by hand last night, but the paint doesn't seem to either adhere or cover in a smooth coat on the plastic surface. The plastic of this kit is unlike anything I've ever worked with before. I'm not sure what Moebius used. I'm probably going to have to have everything primed, but I'll have to get help from some local model club members I know that hopefully can do the painting for me.

Only just stumbled across this thread - in a number of SF books I have read, ice is used as the armour plating on all the warships, sort of sprayeed around the outer steel hull casing

Absolutely, it's a sound made during my long gone childhood when you looked in the toyshop window and went "Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, that's terrific. Can I have it for Christmas please ?"
