Cheers Si , resin is the devils way of making model kits

[Guest]

I like what your doing. I have never worked with resin. Not sure I want to either.

[Alan 45]

Cheers Kevin , resin I found is an acquired taste and takes a lot of skill , something I'm lacking in so I'll just be pleased if it turns out looking ok

[Guest]

Very nice Alan, those engines looks magnificent so far!

Cheers Adrian that does look good and I'm going to do something similar but with smaller and more spaced mottling

So I've had a chance to get back to this after a busy weekend and the build is complete just needs sticking together and painting[ATTACH]88438.IPB[/ATTACH]

And now my mistakes[ATTACH]88444.IPB[/ATTACH]

As you can see the top angles don't match one is at a steeper angle to the other [ATTACH]88445.IPB[/ATTACH]

These two pipes that are stuck to what I think is an intake well there should be four but two of these were so full of flash and bur that during the clean up they just got so twisted and bent they were no good

[Guest]

I think with these resin kits, you've gotta expect a little bit of error Alan. You're not alone in your struggles!

But I think it still looks great & will be awesome with paint on it.

Those 'pipes' are actually laser cannon if memory serves.

[Guest]

I'm with Patrick, Alan...don't expect an excellent fit on a resin kit

Anyway looking very good!

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I pleased you like it

I don't know about glueing these things together I think using plastic filler would do a better job and solve a few problems along the way

[Alan 45]

So it's nearing it's end , I've give it a black wash and painted the the launch bay and forward gun ports and I managed to reset the top of the forward section so it fits properly [ATTACH]88525.IPB[/ATTACH]

Centre section has had a wash and dry brush [ATTACH]88527.IPB[/ATTACH]

[Guest]

The wash & drybrush has made that detail pop out really well Alan

[Alan 45]

Just thought I'd share what it looks like together[ATTACH]88528.IPB[/ATTACH]

[Guest]

[Alan 45]

Cheers Patrick it does look good well the detail on it , shame it's resin it would have made a very good plastic kit
