Well, I 'm calling this one done. I'm pretty with how everything came out in the end. Everything works as it should, so extra plus for me right there

I took a fair few pics, so I won't paste all of them here, but I'll post a link to the entire album. One day, when I can figure out how to use a video camera properly and find a way to edit and upload it, I will

Here's a link to the WIP: http://madhatterscaleworks.blogspot.com.au/

Magnificent  :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It's a bit under-gunned isn't it?   ;D :lol:

Superb modelling, even if I don't understand it.  :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! :)

I agree with you kit partly because in space there is no up so the "underside" of the ship is rather an attractive target as it looks devoid of defensive armament.

Good job.  It (she? do the Japanese call their ships she?) would make a great xmas decoration.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

you would think so wouldn't you, but there are rocket launchers etc down there - you just can't see them :) besides, all it needs to do is roll over if it has to defend itself like that.
What I like about this series is that they treat the space battles like they would a naval battle - shooting from quite a distance away. For anything up close and personal, they launch the Zeros etc
What cracks me up is that third bridge (the bottom one) always seems to stay attached to the ship even when it crashes into land. I've raised this with several different people and none of them know why it stays on. Some reckon it's the shield device that protects the ship, whilst the others (like me) just have no idea and it stays on because it can.
