The Madhatter Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks guys. I have about 4 cm left of the top side to do then I'll flip it over to add a few details underneath All being well, this should see the first coat of paint next week - if not, the week after Uilleann, Brett M and Fooesboy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squizzy 78 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Looking sooo good, I always have a tv on in my hobby room, how many Star Wars movies have been on in the back ground whilst working on this beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 LOL, surprisingly I don't have movies playing in the background as I get too distracted and tend to watch more than build. I just have music playing instead. Mostly drum and bass of late. I have a great play list that gets thrashed on my build nights. spacewolf and Buster99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Thankyou guys. Im going to take a short break from this to build a couple of ship kits ( as well as make some new molds using new parts from said new ship kits ). I think I have settled on my plan of attack regarding painting verse fibers: I'm going to paint the side walls first, attach the fibers and then glue all the parts together, tie up loose detailing then paint the rest. That should be fine. Seems so logical and obvious really So, the next update will see painted parts!

Brett M Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So I may have had a few cocktails and ordered this kit.....might need to start rereading your build! Out2gtcha and The Madhatter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Nice one! I hope we'll get to see a WIP from you? I do enjoy watching your builds. Its funny you should bring this up now as I picked it up again last night and recommenced work on it. I have a lot more detailing to add on the undersides of the top half of the hull which I forgot about Brett M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauntless requires more work too. But, I'm sure I'll get something up, someday......though it won't come within a parsec of the detail you've added! Looking forward to seeing more updates :) Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to get rid of some to get some new ones? Hrmmm....I guess Ive been doing it very wrong up to now.

Ive got a few Sci Fi ships, but mainly only Bandai Star Wars stuff. I guess the MF would be considered a star ship? The new tool Bandai 1/72 MF was a dream of mine, and I finally got a chance to get one with the lighting kit. And a BIG shout out to Madhatter, as it was his input from PMs and this thread that spured me to finally get one, as well as rig up the lighting on my F-104D dpastern, Brett M, The Madhatter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 nice acquisition there Brian. I don't have the display space for a 72nd Falcon, but I also don't need one as I have both the 1/350 and the Lando versions. Still, I've seen some great ones online so am keen to see how you go with it. The good thing about Bandai's lighting kits is that it doesn't leave much room for error, so you can't go wrong, whereas my way - well, needless to say, I've had my share of failures to last me a lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
