Nice work Peter, I can see the video, works very nicely.

[peterairfix]

The last of the circuit boards has been made up and tested.
And the main saucer section has been sprayed.

[boatman]

Peter are you not goin paint the insides matt black to stop light leaks as i got some on mine when tryin to glue the saucer togeather so had to rub off some of the black before it would glue togeather ? an did you spray it in tamyia pearlence white as this paint give all the colours an looks like the dureaium metal that the ship was built from ?

I will paint the insides black and then silver I couldn't get tamiya pearl down here but I found some car paint it's Nissan pearl white it doesn't look to bad.
A close up view.

[boatman]

YES looks good pity you could not get that tamyia pearlesence thought as it gives the hull a sort of futeristic look

An excellent way of stopping light leakage is to use heating engineers foil self adhesive tape

[The Smythe Meister]

Wow, just caught up with this one Peter!
Looks a cracking project, I'll be watching intently,a good test of patience as well as various modelling skills

[peterairfix]

I had Just painted the saucer under side black and put white on top and without realising I had black on my fingers and you know what happened so I went to rub down said saucer section and it's time to leave it for a while otherwise I will make it worse than it already is.

[Guest]

That’s the kind of mistake I could easily make too

[peterairfix]

Well I have managed to save it its alright from a far but not so good close up but I hope the aztecs will cover the mistakes.
