Really excited to see the finished version of your build, Grendels! I'm late in responding to this as I've been on hiatus lately but I'm really chomping at opening up this same kit at home and love your tutorials. Hope all goes well man!

This turned out really nice. Paint looks sweet!

That looks absolutely amazing! Nice work!

Man that turned out really nice. Well done!

Welcome!

Hello everyone on SMA! It's been a few years of hiatus for me but I'm coming back to say hello and get back into the craft again. I had an unfortunate hiatus during the spring contest of 2012 and that caused me to drop out of the challenge and deal with a long stint of issues. At the time I...

shes lookin really nice! great decals.

Thanks guys. I'll hopefully get the lights in the mail this week and try them out to see how well it will work out. I've been watching Grendel's lighting tutorials a lot lately to get a feel for what I need to do and now I'm second guessing going with the tape LED's. I guess a test will be...

Excellent. I'll try both on some scraps first.

I'm researching paint schemes on other models of the Rio Grande and I'm coming across such a huge breadth of ideas. I have read multiple topics on painting the bussard collectors on this. I'm curious for additional input here. I'm seeing many of these guys paint the bussard collectors a solid...

Sweet! Glad you're doing this buildup. I have this kit in my stash and I was curious about the build. Definitely will be following this one!

I think I will be if I can manage it. I'm very new to working with lighting, but I think it would really help. After looking at a dry assembly with the cockpit in, I think it'll need it. I'm hoping to do that this weekend if I don't have to work overtime lol. My lighting shipped today so I'm...

Got home tonight and found a package on the porch. The cockpit/crew setup is here. It needs some fine tuning and paint etc. I've not worked with a resin piece yet but it seems that it'll most likely work out. We'll see though. Here's a couple pics of what came out of the box. It had quite a...

Awesome pipes!

Just a quick update of my progress. I've been waiting on my crew/cockpit assembly that I bought for an aftermarket addition to this build and it's taking them forever to get to me. So, I began my first attempt at pre-shading and base coating with the airbrush the other night. I'm not too...

I watched your side by side comparrison on the other thread. Now I am torn.

Thanks Ken, I'll keep that in mind. I appreciate your offer. I'm trying to lay out my plan of attack for my paint scheme right now and being that I'm still a novice coming back into the hobby, I'm considering how much of a challenge to present myself with. That's a smokin deal though on the...

Heh heh I have to agree w/you too about the pricing and availability. Being that I'm already a fan of your store I'm most likely just going to order the Vallejo from you in the coming days. I think I even put them in my cart. Just have to manage all my expenses first and then hobby stuff. Your...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've been combing the forums trying to find threads on all this and that helps a lot! Many thanks. Tobes

Still looking fantastic! Great work!
