BSG Chariot by Revell Fan

I didn't realize that you were building such a big model, very cool!

Sorry 'bout the Boo-Boo on your finger. Crazy glue works great on really clean cuts like that. It also has great for it's anti-biotic properties.

Very fast and neat looking because you take care to retouche the white edges. If you'll retouche also about a milimeter of the flaps (from the bend line) the effect will be even better.

I like my Olfa AK-3 because it has a cap you can put on when not using the knife. All you need to do is to train yourself to always put it on when you put the knife down.

One more thing I found painful and frustrating to remember - if the knife or a part you're making falls out from your hands never try to catch it by putting your legs together. To the contrary, spread them apart... and move the feet out of the way!

Pulling out a hobby knife embedded blade deep in your leg is not something you want to experience. Trust me :P

Another reason I like AK-3 - it's blade is shorter than Exacto

OUCH! See, dangerous stuff around there! (Disclaimer: That was NOT in the instructions!!!)

But your build looks fantastic! (And you're still having 9 fingers left!)

No, no, it was, I read it. Tab A into slot B, roll part 58 and glue, repeat five times, cut finger, bleed on parts, repeat as necessary

Are you running low on Magenta Ink?

[ASC Mclaren]

The printer isn't, but I am.....

[Rhaven Blaack]

Any update on the Chariot?

[ASC Mclaren]

Turns out my printer was low on magenta, how did you know Zathros? I have some more pictures of the build. Notice that on part 34a the tabs are not symmetrical side to side. Not an issue, just note before you cut.

Not Zathros, is Draal, and Great Machines, he reaches far out, sees Boo Boo, sees printer, sees the One!

So far, so good.
At 1:18 scale, that is going to be one big chariot.
Who do you have to operate it (once it is finisned, that is)?

I love big models, personally. This is going to be sweet!

Well, there is Adama, and then I have a couple of custom colonial warriors.. Of course I learned that when repainting action figures, use acrylic, not enamel paints. Enamel paints don't dry. I guess my warriors are wet behind the ears

I should have more pictures to post tomorrow.

[ASC Mclaren]

The forthcoming pictures are still forthcoming. Cutting all the road wheels parts took longer then I thought....

Then they are Fithcoming!!

[ASC Mclaren]

Well, here are six of the fifthcoming photos. This series is the road wheel build. I scored the tabs, then cut the parts out. Then roll around a form, glue. Fold the scored tabs then color the edges (barrels and caps). Glue end cap, allow to dry, glue other cap, dry. Then glue to part 34. Next is the track....
