StephenCJ Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Haven't posted anything for a long time. My daughter bought me this kit for Christmas, she also got me Horizon's Mercury Capsule kit and she had to tell me she went over her budget. I will be building 2 of these kits as I had one in the never decreasing stash. Box art. Back of the box. Decals. Parts. You get 2 of this sprue. Some progress. There are 4 lovely circles that need filling, well only half can be seen and really non of them will be seen when the model is sitting on its stand. I have assembled the rocket halves and primed many of the parts for the 2 kits, some pics later. Thanks for looking. Stephen 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I like things like this but not into science fiction or punk or warhamner stuff. (having said that I do appreciate skilled workmanship.) Super start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimT64 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Are you going for a painted or a foil finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenCJ Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have never used foil so they will be painted. I have joined the rocket halves together on both rockets. I needed to drill the locating pin holes out to 1.3mm for a nice fit. These parts are painted with Mr. Paint dark aluminum. The Mk 2 R/V is painted with Mr. Color copper and Mr. Paint dark aluminum the other part is painted with AK Interactive Extreme Metal Flat Aluminum. Thanks for looking.

StephenCJ Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 I have most of the parts painted and ready for assembly, some pictures tomorrow. Today I only have pics of the warheads. Thanks for looking. Stephen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenCJ Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Time to start putting these rockets together and doing the decals. Thanks for looking. Stephen 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenCJ Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 More progress, it seems I am getting slower and slower at this modeling thing. Anyhow some pics. Just a few decals and some parts to go and they will be finished. I have used my phone for these pics as my family have evicted me from the downstairs table where I did my modeling photographs. Thanks for looking. Stephen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
