discussion large scratcbuild of mark two viper battlestar galactica

[Guest]

hi everyone,

here is another of my little scratchbuilds, this is a follow on to my mark one viper and was built on the request of a friend. once again my only materials were flat plastic sheet evergreen rod and tube and EMA hexagon rod plus a few odds and sods. one feature of the build which came about by accident is the removable cockpit section, when i was half way through build ing I had not completed the section around the cockpit. I had build the control section seprately so that I could paint it then drop it into the cockpit , in the end I now have a removable outer section and a removable cockpit which I guess a more skilled model maker may have added some fibre optics but thats not my scene I just love to build. enjoy the pics and please let me know what you think as this will improve my model making on my next builds.

regards Barrie ( the old guy )

Amazed yet again.

Can I ask what is you preferred glue for Plastic sheeting. I have tried the usual and even though the items have had a full 24 hours to set up, I can flick them and they just ping off!
