Spaceship!!! - but not what you expect

[Madhatter]

Well, some of you might guess, but a lot of people won't!

This is my last build for the year and my most fun one. Completely out of the box with kit supplied lighting and so on. The only thing it didn't do was build itself

The kits is quite basic at it's core, but highly detailed. Kind of in the same vein as Bandai in terms of how it goes together (not a drop of glue required). Ingenious lighting system which is a tad tricky to get to in certain areas, and the center drive thing with the orange light was quite confusing initially, but I got there in the end

All painted in Gunze and Tamiya metallics. The kit says paint it (yawwwwwn) grey but there was no way in hell I was doing that. I decided I would go for a nod to Gundam here and try something a little different. I like it myself and so does my son who is insisting he gets it when I die. Talk about planning ahead..... geez

Enough words, time to give you what you came here for - pics:





















Even the stand lights up!



Well, that's all the pics. I hope they brought a small sliver of enjoyment or inspiration to your day. I had a lot of fun with this one and if you're in the market for a subject that will turn some heads, I would suggest getting this kit. You don't even need to know a single thing about electronics to make it look good as its all taken care of for you

As always, thanks for stopping by and having a look

Ah, I remember this ship from talking about it a while back.

"It's a airbrush Jim, but not as we know it"

Looks awesome, well built!

Look great, but how about some scale reference.    Do you have a cat?

It's lovely. That said - from which universe is it? Star Wars, Star trek, or what? I have to admit my ignorance, I'm afraid, but I'd really like to know.

[Madhatter]

Thanks guys 
Its made by some obscure Chinese brand that I've never heard of but it's called the Arkhitect Colonizer and its scale is meant to be 1/3000. I'll do a size reference shot for you, but its a decent size.
This ship is not part of any series I know of. Its just the result of some guy who smoked a large quantity of weed and looked at his airbrush and thought it would make a cool spaceship. (That may not be true but thats how I sold it to myself    )

Just a quick search showed this;

Best price I found. One store wanted $110!!
A very interesting kit! I'm not quite sure what I would do with the "color cup" part of the ship. It just seems out of place.

Very cool. Excellent job on this one !

It looks A}  like an intergalactic airbrush  and B)  absolutely magnificent

thank you guys - I'm sorry for the late reply
There are 2 versions of this ship - the other one didn't seem as cool as this one and had been released after I got this one. Of course, now that I want to link it I can't find it. I'll edit this once I find it
Have a great Christmas
