    Well, largely the VCs.  The original was lot less fussy round the rear end, and the cockpit section had smoother contours and was noticeably drooped compared with the main fuselage. 

     

    Ooh, nasty sink mark where the neck extends from the fuselage!  Where'd you find it?

    I must have read the wrong comic then, or looked at Gary Leach's artwork the wrong way....

  2. Wow. It worked. That's the kit in it's original form-warts and all. There are significant errors, which I've tried to rectify. I'm happy anyway, with my progress. Here's some more. The sequence runs from the unglued raw 3d print, through to where it's at today.

    I use flickr, share using the BBcode at a medium resolution, dont use the insert image URL on here  just copy and paste the bb code directly, and remove the end  part of the code as not needed , a bit of trial and error regarding the uneeded code.

    Ok. Pictures up on Flickr. Will try and put some on here tonight.

  4. The prints that show the worst lines are done by FDM printers. I'm currently working on a Liberator from Blakes7. That had a lot of lines-even though the finish was reasonably good. B&M do a good filler/primer(much more filler than halfrauds). Last year I had my own Dan Dare space fort printed. That's also fdm. I wanted a decent size and a resin print at forty three centimetres was too expensive.

    As long as you don't mind taking your time to get a nice smooth surface, go for it.

    However you may end up with a sore wrist...

    As for me -I'm holding out for the new Elegoo Saturn resin printer- whenever it's released.

  5. Hi everyone,

                       I'm working on a two foot long version of the Liberator, from Blakes7. Right now, I'm stumped for reference images of the engine. I need pictures of all the white lines, particularly from the rear, but can find very little on google images. Can anyone help?

    Cheers.
