Coming along nicely, Si! :thumbsup:

I feel like it needs a black stripe of sorts running along the side from the front, sweeping high then back down toward the rear. Or something like that.

I can see where you're coming from; a wave-line, of varying thickness, running from 1/3-to-1/2-way up the bow, rising up to a peak near the last two horizontal bow portholes, then dropping down below the rearmost two portholes , &, finally, rising to run nearly parallel to the existing stripe to the stern.

Upside down like that it looks like a super high speed locomotive!
I like the red and black. Nice change from the usual white.

Very flash indeed, well worth a mill or five of someone's money.  ;)

Thanks for that link Perttime
Maybe not the skull and cross bones but I like where you were going with it  :thumbsup:
There is some cool things there but not quite what I'm looking for. I'm almost envisioning a graphic like what Air New Zealand had with it's "Pacific Wave" which ran along the sides of their aircraft but not 2 tone like theirs.
I'll keep working on it :)

You could name the ship, "The Pandora" after the airship in the game

Which game is that from? Sorry - I'm a solid WOWSL player and I don't venture out much from that world  :angel:

Had some spare time tonight, so took a couple of pictures of where I'm heading with it.

I quite like the look of it myself.



The back end has had it's first 2 clear coats and almost ready for polishing



The engines are done and ready to be assembled - a task I shall be doing this weekend



The front seats are almost done - I see there is a small red touch up required on the far left seat. Also need to add the metal highlights. The dash board is getting there slowly. What is it with Revell decals and their unwillingness to confirm to surfaces properly. Even with copious amounts of Micro-sol it still doesn't conform. I had the same experience with my Mclaren 570S



Anyways, that's where I am up to. Still have lots to do. As always, thanks for stopping in and having a look!

Sorry, Crimson Skies, is the game I'm referring to

Looking really good, Si - keep it up!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Ahhh - isn't that an old XBox game? Maybe I'm thinking of bio-shock 3, but it had a red cover on it?

Thanks for the kind replies guys. I am pretty happy with it so far. I drew up a graphic to go along the sides but when I put the top part on, it no longer feels like a slab of red somehow. Dunno

I played Crimson Skies on PC but it was also available for Xbox, and as a board game, as I recall.



I should really see if I can get it to run on my new laptop.

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

got some lights going



Now to re-polish the red panel.
