Thanks guys! I'm torn between number 2 and the bottom two. I want to do a fair bit of weathering - oils, paint chipping, etc - and I reckon the white would show that up best. But yellow and black is much more interesting! Hmm... decisions, decisions...

Thinking about possible paint schemes, here are a few ideas. I think I like the black with yellow stripes design. Any opinions? Thanks all!

Amazing work, buddy. The detail is astonishing!

Right, I've added a bit more detail and stuck the two halves together. I'm going to leave it over night and see what I think of it in the morning! Holiday ends tomorrow but I'm definitely going to keep going for the next few days. I NEED to get some paint schemes going. I'm thinking white...

This looks stunning mate! Can't wait to see it all painted and lit up!

Here are some more pics. I've added a lot of extra detail greebly things from a steam engine kit and various other bits and bobs. It's starting to look a little more ramshackle and complicated. I'm starting to get the scratch building bug! I'm thinking that I'm going to paint this up as some...

Hi Gag! Thanks for the comment and advice! I've taken it to heart and added quite a lot of stuff now. A bit of kitbashing and some found objects. Pics to follow in a bit...

If I might quote one of my heroes on this forum, the Nylon Gag - mmmmm primer!

Hi guys 'n' girls, I've not been able to do much model making of late due to work but I've been on holiday this week and have found some time to do something I've wanted to do for years - Scratchbuild a spaceship! So, here's the wip. Sorry there aren't any early-build pictures - I didn't think...

Thanks so much for you comments guys! Thundergod, £2.99??!! Wow, i think i'd have bought a fair few myself if It'd known! They are awesome little kits - glad I've inspired you to have a go at one of them. For me, it's onwards an upwards (into orbit with the Battlestar Galactica herself...)!

Thanks for the comments you two - compliments mean a lot coming from you guys!

Hi all, Thanks for all the great comments! This has been the slowest project ever but I'm now calling it done. I want to move on to bigger and better things (namely a fully lit Battlestar Galactica...). The base isn't the greatest but I think it does suggest 'Death Star' a least a little bit...

Thanks Thundergod, that' sam great idea. I'll see if I can find some greeblies, though I don't have many 'spare' kits... Any ideas about weathering, anyone?

Hello, Due to life in general, it's been quite a long time since I last did any modelling but I'm back into it now! I've been making progress over the last few days with my Death Star display base and was wondering if anyone has any detailing suggestions. I'm fairly pleased with it at the...

Ah! Solved it. There was a vent thingy that had become clogged in the valve section. Shows that it pays to familiarise yourself with the assembly of your airbrush... Thanks anyway!

Hi all, It's been a while since I did any model making but I sat down today to get going again and found that my Iwata Neo airbrush isn't working. When I connect it to my compressor and press the trigger, air comes out of the trigger (only a small, low-pressure amount from the nozzle) and the...

Hey! Great start! I'd also like to know how you managed to get the face in there. Hollowing out that helmet must have been really difficult. Looking forward to the rest of it!

Thanks for the help guys! I want to model one of the ships from the first death star assault so i'll probably go with Red 5 (surprise surprise...). I'm going to make the base coat much lighter and take it from there. Might even try scribing some light panel lines because the ones that come with...

Ok, here's a question for you all: What colour should the x-wing be? A the moment it's a lightish grey but looking at some pics of models and some screenshots makes me think this might be wrong. Some look a creamy colour, others look white but weathered and some look grey. The ships in a new...

Hahaha oops, no I just put them together to illustrate scale... Didn't even notice they're back to front! What an eeejit. ::) I can assure you that they'll be glued into the correct positions when it's finished!
