Thanks for the tip, might give it a go if I don't like the academy tracks.
-
It was the Eduard kit 35483 iirc. Have some academy tracks on the way from eBay for a tenner, hope they're ok to use as the vinyls got twisted out of shape badly in storage. They're currently taped flat to a board to see if it helps.

First armour that wasnt for war gaming for 25 years. Picked the kit up years ago, I just happen to like stugs 😁 got the photo etch a while ago to. Really enjoying the build so far, never used photo etch before but it was simple enough. Mantlet got some Mr surfacer 500 and a light buff with wet and dry. Not quite sure where I'm going with it as a kit yet, just wanted to build something where I didn't need any more aftermarket that I don't have and i didn't want to light (sci fi kits).

Thanks Mike. I know not to hold out now

Hi Mike, Sorry to be a pain, but are we any closer to the upgrade release? TIA

Revell Maquis Fighter/Raider

Nice, I have one of these in the stash myself. Just need to get around to it, I was planning on lighting mine as it doesn't look like it could get much simpler. -
Lord Ripon 32 feet to 1 inch
Harrypotter replied to ShipbuilderMN's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
When I actually get to that stage on a project of mine I'm planning to use the winding wire from an automotive relay, it's of a very fine diameter, but is also high quality copper, so very ductile and forgiving. Plus if you crack open a relay, there's lot's of it inside. -
Wondering if these, or something similar is still available anywhere? Got the kit out of the stash for the first time in a decade and decided I can't live with the raised plank details. If wooden decks are a no go are the decals still available anywhere? Tia

Thanks Guys.

I know the box claims 1/323 or something (call it 1/350 for the sake of argument) but to me that just doesn't seem right, I'm thinking more 1/144, what do you guys with experience of the kit think?

1/600 Revell TOS Constitution
Harrypotter replied to Harrypotter's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
The more I look at the kit, the more I think I'm going to leave the lines, I don't mind them particularity, and I'm gonna weather it anyway, so I'll probably pin wash the grid. Might even build it as the Potemkin. -
1/600 Revell TOS Constitution
Harrypotter replied to Harrypotter's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Yeah I'd read it was a mish mash of several different enterprises. Googling the Jein one, I never realised how much of it obviously came from that one. (until yesterday I'd also assumed that the DS9 Enterprise was CGI, oops. Found this useful: http://www.startrekpropauthority.com/2008/07/some-previously-unreleased-photos-of.html -

Cheers , sounds like a plan. -
1/600 Revell TOS Constitution

Yeah I've read your bid a few times now. Very helpful and inspirational tbh. What does the primer coat help with? I tend to use vallejo surface primer exclusively - once cured would that be satisfactory? -
Picked one of these up on a whim yesterday, I was nervous as I'd read all about it's accuracy issues, but when I had a look at the sprues I was very impressed. I won't post sprue pics as other people on this forum have already done an excellent job of this. Excellent engineering of the kit - so should be a pleasure to build, yes a few shape issues, and of course, those grid canyons. I plan to light it fully (it'd be rude not to) and to build it as a constitution class ship (not Enterprise). My first (main dilemma) though is to fill or not to fill the grid lines? What are your opinions on the matter? Also if I were to what would be best filler to do it with, current I have Vallejo Plastic Putty and Mr Surfacer 500, think either of them are up to it?
-
Many thanks, sensible price too.
-
Wow, thanks guys, that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for, so in essence, build the model up as is with a quad mount, my choice of photoetch and a suitable colour scheme and I should have a passable O'Bannon? Can you advise which L'arsenal turrets I should look for, their website is a bit of a minefield for the uninitiated. TIA
-
Chaps, Just picked one of these up to ease me back into ships after a long hiatus (and to build up to the big titanic I bought many years ago that's still in the stash). I'd like to build her as the O'Bannon. So I'm wondering could anybody please help me identify what differences the 2 ships had around the time of Guadalcanal? Also what aftermarket is still available for her? TIA.
-
Very nice. Did you airbrush the aqua colour? If so how did you find it for airbrushing?
-
This may be threadomancy, but from somebody who works at Gaydon that's a cracker. Admittedly we haven't built one of those for a while but that's lovely.
-
I work at AML in Gaydon, she's just done one hell of a display Not seen her flying for a long time, awesome.

Black Templars Dreadnought
Harrypotter replied to Harrypotter's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
I am indeed a Templar Player. Or I was, until we got rolled - still too angry about it to play them again at the moment. All of the lettering is Forgeworld Decals, for 40K players they are excellent.
