Very nice work, I think that it's adding a huge amount of interest and detail doing what you're doing. Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks guys

I'm hoping to install the hangar bay lighting this weekend so will have some pics of that soon. I'm also almost finished detailing the sides, then it's the roof, so once it's all done, I'll take some more pics then.

Thanks for sticking around and commenting. I know it's an old thread that just won't die, but I'll get there eventually

Hi again

Thought I'd share some pics of the successful lighting test of the hangar bay. I'm very happy with how it's come out. The light's aren't too strong which is good.

Not far from finishing the top section. The windows have all been drilled out and is now ready for the fun task of installing the fiber. Joy

Thanks for looking

Very nice!

So, here I am with another update.
The roof is finished - or finished enough for now. It's looking pretty good to me. It's hard trying to keep it all in scale but I think I am doing alright.
A test fit of the bridge and neck was okay but I had to remove some stuff off the back left sidewall to allow the neck to slide all the way in. The fit is not the best - I'll be honest, I'm not sure if it's all me, or part me and part kit or just the kit itself. Either way, I'll have to think carefully about how the final construction is going to go.

Well, that's me done for another couple of weeks I think. I'll be making a start on the lower level sidewalls tonight hopefully, then the main body which will be very time consuming I think.
Till then
Adios amigos

That is fantastic!  I can't imagine putting all of those tiny pieces in place.  It's gonna look great in the dark!

I can feel Darth Vader breathing down the back of my neck every time I open this thread up!

Wow looking good now cast it all in resin so we can all have one. 

[EvilCarrot]

Wow, been a while since I checked in here and holy...uhm... brown stuff! Fantastic job! 

[The Madhatter]

thanks guys

Rigor - the thought did cross my mind but alas, I can't. Some of the details are raised off the surface so there's no way I could cast it without ruining the master in the process. Good thought though

Thanks to your generous input, I just ordered myself a hobby spool combo pack 250!

 

 

Cant wait to get it and go back and apply your technique to disperse the light trough the fiber for my twin IPs in my F-104D.   

 

 

Thanks for the input and help, and cant wait to see the SD come to fruition all lit up! 

 

Cheers, 

[The Madhatter]

Thats awesome! You'll have enough fiber there to light several kits. Can't wait to see the F104 when shes done
