The Madhatter Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Thanks very much guys. Hope you don't get too bored with it as I am not a terribly fast builder I did a lighting test tonight of the bridge and I am happy with how it turned out. I made a number of mistakes on the internals and had numerous electrical issues but I got there in the end. I've also been cutting away at the body to accommodate the fibers. I've actually finished the whole top but just haven't taken any pics yet because it's not daylight Anyway, I just wanted to share the results of the lighting. I'm really happy with how it came out.

The Madhatter Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Thanks guys. I'm happy with the progress myself It'll be a few weeks now till another update as I am off to my Mother in Laws inevitable funeral on Tuesday before flying to NZ to spend what will likely be a not so festive Christmas break. Rest assured, once I have finished the neck off I will be posting some pics. I am in the midst of painting the neck walls and finishing off the detailing to the front panels now. The roof of the bridge is current;y drying and should be able to be released from it's clamps tomorrow Thanks for showing an interest guys. I hope you all have a safe and merry Christmas break Till next time Si Uilleann, BloorwestSiR, Coneheadff and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squizzy 78 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It's been a little while since I have been in the non LSP section, and the benefit of that is seeing jumps made in the builds going on. And the work that's going on here is top notch, I'm really enjoying having a look at what's going on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Finally able to post a reply Thank you all very much for the kind posts guys. I even found a spare 20 minutes to finish off puttying the bridge seams and realised that I will need to add a couple of bits of styrene to it to hide the putty. It won't be hard though and is something I'll do when I get home. Not much left to do on the bridge with paint touch ups and installing the fibers into the neck which might prove to be trickier than I previously thought. Thanks again for the interest and well wishes guys Have a safe and happy Christmas Si Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 2 days back and I have already pretty much finished the bridge and neck section. I'll run a light grey wash over it once everything has dried and sealed proper. There are still a couple of sections I need to hand brush to bring up to spec. I'll take some lit shots once I have connected the remaining fiber optics. That's it for now. I have to finish painting the big antenna in the middle as well as replace all the broken projections on the shield generators but I'll do that once the bridge is attached to the body As always, thanks for looking Si DesTROYer, ShelbyGT500, Christoffer Lindelav and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
