Confusionreigns178 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This level of detailing is just astonishing! I admire your dedication.... you are a model-making deity, my friend.

The Madhatter Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks Chris! Quick update while I wait for my work meeting to kick off. I took some pics last night of one of many test fits of the front sidewalls and upper and lower hull plates. I have to keep adding the walls and plates together to make sure the detailing I've added tot he underside of the edge on the top plate and again on the bottom plate don't interfere with the details on the sidewalls etc. Its very time consuming but it'll all look pretty cool once its together. Excuse the not so great photos. I promise next time they will be clearer Well, that's all I have for now, but once the front wall is done, I'll take a photo of the kit standard VS what I've done side by side so you can see the difference some extra details can make Well I have to go back to work but as always, thanks for stopping by and having a look Till next time!

The Madhatter Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 hey everyone I took some time today to make use of the awesome daylight we've had here to get some more detailed shots of where I am up to right now. I'll have some more time to myself this week as the wife and child are heading off to see her family before Xmas before I go up to Brisbane to join them later. I hope to be able to use that time constructively So yeah, the last set of photos didn't really convey what I'd actually done, and here's hoping these ones tell a better story Well, that's it for now, but as always, thanks for stopping by and having a look Till next time Si dodgem37, Uncarina, mustang1989 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This is all fantastic. If you squint it looks like you're jumping into hyperspace. Got a ruler? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Rockie Yarwood, chrish and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just catching up here Si, and I have to say, I celebrate your entire catalog! This build could be considered exceptional except when I compare it to your other builds. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks Tom! IMO, this trumps pretty much everything else I've done detail wise. Got plenty of time to see if the painting etc comes up to par! Mark I'll take a photo of the parts next to a ruler next time I take some pics. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Man O Man O Man!! This has got to be in the top builds I've ever seen for details alright. Looking forward to more. The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) hey everyone Dusting this one off to show that I have actually started back on this yet again. Have begun the fun task of detailing the side walls, starting off with the front. This is pretty much where I left off in the last update but I am now more advanced along. Although it may not look it, a heap of small details have been added to the lips of the 2 hull halves. Whilst they don't look like much on their own, when you add the rest of it together, it fills the spaces nicely. I'm almost done for the front with only the right side front panel left to do which won't take long. Then naturally I'll make my way down the sides. I also have to add details to the under sides of the top half of the ship which I missed the first time round. I thought i was done detailing the top bit but alas, no Enough words, here's some pics: https://flic.kr/p/2kSs8jo Edited April 12, 2021 by The Madhatter Brett M, Alex, USMC Herc and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm often asked for a size reference.Maybe this may help: Anyway, that's all I have for now but I'll update once I'm fully finished the trenches. Thanks for stopping by and for those who are actually still following this - you get an extra thanks for your enduring patience with me while I fumble my way through this Till next time!
