Came across this when research Vallejo paints. So, from what I can gather here, if you want a standard metal finish, like steel, or gunmetal then these are really good for that. For a shiney metal finish like chrome or gold then the Alclads still win? I'm asking because I will be doing alot of...

From what I can tell, Hobby Link Japan are still selling the "pre-TFA" kits, so you can still get your X-Wing, Y-Wing and AT-ST http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SeriesID=1578&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=79FMYGO349UWOJYQ&set=1&Maker2=BAN&z=Maker2&MacroType2=injkit Though they do seem...

Wow is right! Thats an awesome looking Sinanju.

Hi guys Now that I'm finally getting the itch to build again I thought I'd also get my youtube channel sorted out. Got it tidied up with a refresh of the couple of vids I had there and also added a few more. Feel free to look in http://www.youtube.com/user/Kitsetwil

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1? This build is AMAZING!! Every update I see leaves me open mouthed and now its bein painted. The scratch skills alone are enough to drive me insane with jealousy. Hats off to you sir.

JEALOUS!!!!! Me wanty me wanty me wanty

Makes me want to redo my 1/1000 one. Awesome build, its been great to follow along and see it all come together. Your space shots look amazing. I've always wanted to know how to do that, do you use photoshop or similar?

Thats a cool touch with the putty. I take its quite runny to be able to go thru a syringe like that?

Nice job on the repair. Did you strengthen the join at all or do you think its all good?

Thanks guys for the awesome comments, it really is an encouragement to me to read your comments. I'm a slow builder so not alot of progress to show I'm afraid, but slow progress is better no progress right? ;D Anyhoo, Photobucket was being a pig lately as the pics I uploaded didn't want to show...

Looking at where the crack is and your comment combined made me think, that join pretty much hold the weight of the saucer and neck assembly as well as the upper half of the engineering section, a rather large chuck of the model in fact, so if the seam was to fail it would be the natural place...

More than stunning, incredible. Sure wish I could weather like that.

Got back into the plastic work today. I can't eliminate the some of the seams as I'd hoped to do as the fibres make it pretty much impossible, for me at. I'm glad I put some seam work in before threading the fibres though or else I would have alot more to deal with now. Anyway, the other main...

Thanks guys. I'm really pleased with how the circuit turned out. I've played with the sequence a bit last night and got it more in time with the music. Still a little tweaking to do but I think I can get back to some plastic work now. I'm dreading painting her though as I'm not as good as I'd...

Ok, heres the big update I promised. First, a little back story. Way back when I started building this I wanted to be lit in sections and I even dreamed of being done in a certain way. My investigations then made me think it was just a dream but I built the model with the lights in sections...

Stay tuned for a big update coming soon, well, I think its big anyway ;D

Hey thanks man, good to see ya again. Yup, still sloggin away at this one. I keep changing my mind on things so its taking me ages to finish. However... although not much plastic work has been done lately I have been making progress with the electronics. I already have a strobe unit built for...

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I dont have much more to show on this yet. I have everything glued down and am working on the seams, although some are just too hard to get to due to the fibre optics so will have to be left. I did have an issue with breaking two of the thicker fibres...

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I gonna spend alot of time of the seams so hopefully I won't screw things up. Yes to both questions, have you been hacking my webcam and watching me? ;D I did start out with plain white glue but then moved to Micro Kristal Klear instead.

And so once I had all the final fibres sorted and the loose wires joined and stuffed inside everything was clamped down ready for glue. But first, I wanted to see her lit and so plugged everything into a breadboard, checking there were no wires touching others to cause short circuits, closed my...
