The Madhatter Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 So yeah, there she is, so beautifully rich in colour: Then I saw, what I thought, was a drop of water on the paint just as I was about to start spraying the clear, so being careful, I dabbed it away with a cotton bud and this nice present was left behind Seriously WTF!? You ever get one of those builds where the worst possible thing will happen at the absolute worst time? This is it in all its photographic glory. Urgh, why did I have to do a WIP? Now, I just have to fix it. I can't sand it back for a full panel respray as I don't have enough paint to do that. So, the next best thing to do is take a leaf out of the car world and stick a decal over it. As it is, I found some closely scalled water slide SW insignia decals on ebay and am now waiting for them to arrive. When ever that is. I did a mock up with all the remaining parts. The final fitment is going to be a challenge at best. There is a lot of empty space between the engine and the cowling. You could add more stuff and it would be visible, but I won't be. I know I can be a bit mad at times but I'm also not a sadist patricksparks, TankBuster, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 looks amazing, shame about the small spot, maybe a small touch up could save it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Looks amazing, Si! You ever get one of those builds where the worst possible thing will happen at the absolute worst time?

The Madhatter Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 It polished out nicely on the bottom! I should be able to get the same, if not a better result for the top half. It's hard to photo in the sun as its so shiny but you get the gist patricksparks, Landrotten Highlander, denders and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 hi everyone Hope we all had a nice relaxing Easter break? Not much to report on this one as I am waiting on some more paint to arrive as I couldn't stand that splotch on the front panel - so I stripped it right back and repainted it. Not the whole ship - just the front section Did a dry fit of the engines and they do look good. I just need to wire in the filament but due to the complex way Revell have you put the whole lot together, it's going to be a challenge to say the least Well, that's it for now. She's sitting on the shelf awaiting the new paint. Once that's here, I should get her finished pretty quickly - I hope. In the meantime, I am working on my HMS Exeter which I'm hoping to have done for Expo Thanks for your patience and I'll see you again soon Si scvrobeson, Greg W, denders and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Thanks guys! Its proving harder than I initially expected to get the paint right, but yeah, it'll be pretty cool ifit comes out as hoped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Guess I should pay more attention and read this site! Saw your new images on Flickr, then it clicked....go to LSP and see the whole thing! That red is sharp looking, Si. That's going to look really, really good once it's buttoned up. Looking forward to see it all come together.

rigor Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Looks great but way to clean for a bounty hunter The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Thanks guys. Im still waiting for the paint to show up. Hoping its at home for me when I get in from work. This is definitely not a ship for a bounty hunter. Im presenting this more as a personal craft than the one from the show, mainly because everyone else will be doing it in silver and I like to be different Alain Gadbois and Greg W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
