Kallisti Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I began this build in the Hour of Longing in 2013, but for various reasons it got put to one side until a couple of weeks ago where I decided it had been on the shelf of Za'had'Doom* for too long. Its a resin kit from Warp and as such isn't an easy thing to build. The casting is - to be honest - a bit ropey, the moulds are probably getting old and it does show in places. Original build there is here * Yes I know I spelled it wrong deliberately! ...and so we arrive at the Hour of Scampering... We have always been here... The central accommodation section does rotate, but its NOT motorised! See, told you so! The red spots are emergency lifeboats So there you have it. I'm going to enjoy having this on the shelf next to the Sulaco from last year It'll be doing the show tour for the rest of this year, next scheduled one is Romsey and Smallspace in July... 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 A great, tidy looking build with what I'd call an accurately portrayed finish on the paintwork.... apart from the engine exhausts. They would show no signs of rust/oxidation at all, what with it being purely a spacecraft and never entering atmospheres. Still, a fine looking craft.

Kallisti Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'm not sure its supposed to be oxidation, I think it is supposed to be the colouring of the engines... look here: My only mistake might be misinterpreting the kit painting instructions and putting a soft edge to the blue/red demarcation whereas here it looks like a distinct line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Very cool, I hear only "challenging" reports of the quality of the Warp kits so it's awesome that you got such a nice result. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Yes challenging is a good description hence why I put it away 4 years ago Edited June 14, 2017 by Kallisti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misrule Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Love the Omega class, big brutal looking brick of iron there's some great information on wiki about the design process of the model and how we sadly only saw a tiny fraction of what it could do on the show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-class_destroyer Edited June 17, 2017 by Misrule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
