An update of the very little progress I've made! :sad: Finally finshed one side of the road wheels. Made a few mistakes due to the drawings not being very clear - as I was cutting parts for the wheels, I realized that I was going to have a lot of parts left over. After studing the drawing for...

You may be right Charlie, but I am not so hung up on the accuracy thing (I can hear the screams and curses as I type this :oops: ). I like to build things, and I seem to like armor more than any other thing. I saw these pictures of the prototype that caught me... I am learning more...

This looks fabulous! I have to have it (and the other two!). Any idea how to order one? I know the North American retailers take a little while to get these (and this one is just calling to me! :yep:). It's not like I need any more models, I'm just obsessed! Thanks! Chris

Barry, looking great so far! You are definately making me take closer looks at my models and seeing how I can enhance them! Thanks! Chris

Your build of the details on this ship is truely amazing! and inspirational! Thanks for the update! Chris

Beautiful! Looking forward to the next update! Thanks for the pictures! Chris

Chris, you continue to amaze! Great work and very inspiring! I just may break out on of those ships in my stack! Thanks! Chris

Gotta agree with Russell! Just wow! just wow! Thanks for the latest update! Chris

Thanks for the picture, Charlie! I think you are right - the kit is not too faithful to the original. Still, if they had some drawings of the construction, their interpretation of this area would have made the build go much smoother. Chris

Here are the pictures that kind of pull the front all together. Obviously, I made some kind of error, but overall it is not too bad! :grin: Front view, doesn't look too bad: Side view. You can see the problem of the paper bunching up on the bottom. I should have trimmed the round...

Made some progress... These road wheels are taking all my time! But these are some pics of the front end. Here I think is an issue with the kit. The fit does not seem to be right (the cut in the interior bulk head does not line up with the cut in the skin). Much of this could be my error...

Nice work, Jim! Thanks for the update! I can wait patiently for the next installment!! Chris

Very cool! Looks great!

See, keep the Overlords happy (cue Stan Ridgeway's "The Overlords") and all is sunny and bright! :grin: Perhaps some skill on your part had something to do with it! :yep: Great recovery! I look forward to the next step! Chris

Beautiful build, Barry!

I like the look it adds, Barry! I put aside one of my builds because I couldn't produce any railings that I liked... So I ordered some. They weren't quite right, so back to the drawing board. Love to see some nice ones finished. Soldered them, huh? Guess I will have to get a soldering gun...
