Tolga Uzuner Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 sanding process is done. This kit has a very bad plastic, Very easy to break. And this kit is a real paint killer I need too much grey paint for finishing other parts 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkas Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ah, the good old Yo-Yo of Doom. Originally said to be one of the most accurate SF kits ever, Monogram apparently having used something like a pantograph to copy the studio miniature (which had a lot of people, including me, wondering why the company made such a dog's breakfast of the Galactica), though that assertion was later challenged, but I can't remember the details. Nonetheless, it always looked right, so I never really worried about the nit-picking, such as it was. And this model is looking very good. I do like the effects of the wash, though some of those photos look a little dark to me. It's probably just the lighting, and you could always argue that the studio lighting make the original look too light -- shades (pardon the pun) of the ongoing "what colour is the original Enterprise" argument. Regardless, I look forward to seeing more of this build, and the completed model. Go to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSteve Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) While I agree with Tarkas about its accuracy, I would check out some screen shots of the actual studio model as you may want to trim down the disc edges to make the kit flatter. Test fit and then compare with the studio model. I think the kit's overall accuracy is why Moebius never bothered issuing one. I finally got this kit last year and will be following along with great interest. Love what you've done so far!
