Apologies but this has been sat on my 'Shelf of doom' for a long time and Im trying to get through all my uncompleted builds at present - Im not opening any more kits until all my shelved ones are finished!!!! .... Im still buying them though. :P Anyway Im getting this one finished so after...

I would like to do that kind of thing one day, I quite like the idea of producing lighting kits. :D Absolutely the effect can be slowed down, and I tend to agree with both of you. There is a variable in there that does it. Also, the circuit can be rigged up to a pot which could be used to...

Ive been dormant here for a while but Ive been mucking around with PICs and electronics etc for my models, and with the release of the mobius cylon raider out there (quaralane kicking off nicely I see) I thought this would be an Ideal little project to flex my programming. I started my refit...

I was the 'other guy' mentioned in the TIE thread where I stumbled upon vallejo pale blue grey when I was eyeing up colours for my harrier : check out my post here for my little interceptor, where you can get a feel for this colour...

thanks very much guys!

Hey all, Wanted to share with you all my just finished spit here. A real pleasure to build as with most Tamiya kits. This was one of those half finished kits sitting round the bench, which I had to get out of the way. A Few mistakes in there, but I like how it turned out in the end ! Hope...

First up - great stuff igard , its really cool to see someone make this kit not a popular choice but It does make a nice model ;D you using promodeller's wash? Your gloss coat didnt look too glossy, if the surface hasnt got a good sheen to it the wash will penetrate into the paint grain and...

cheers merseajohn! Thanks Quaralane ! - and I do like to rock :D Minor update guys: I put in some FO's and another led which will power the bridge and sensor dome, still might use 2 here, Ill know when I put the bridge on. Again - please excuse the pics im using my phone, I need a proper...

Thanks guys - hopefully I can deliver!! Thanks Grendels - Strangely I was getting this behaviour on the navigation light. It would dim slightly when the strobe flashed. Ive since removed the diode they used in the circuit to prevent wiring the chips the wrong way, and it went away. ::) I...

thanks Grendels ! - Yes its two 555's I followed the circuit here: http://www.colosseumbuilders.com/enterprise/circuits.htm Im currently working on using a PIC12F675 to do the same thing on one chip, which will be ideal for a model so small. Ill be sure to post up if I have any success, I'm...

Hey thanks Igard! Sorry This is going to be a long one so Im going to split the posts. Some of these pics are a bit rubbish im afraid >:( I put some FO in the neck: Probably a bad Idea but im stuck with it now! I then cut out the impulse engines, ready to receive some PE action later...

'Sup. ;D I decided to take a break on the mig 29 and get back into some sci-fi . Here I go with the 1/1000 PL Enterprise! I got the Paragrafix set with this, which has been great. Ive done a fair amount already, so Ill post my progress so far. Comments / Suggestions are welcome! Installed...

I just saw what I did there :-\ lol

Thanks for the support guys - unfortunately It just aint gonna happen in time :( I dont know whats wrong with me lately - Ill do about 10 mins then put everything down again. Sigh ... Still on the brightside - when the contest buzz is over - you guys will have my build to follow to quell your...

First off folks - sorry for the lack of updates. Progress is slow I totally lost the will to make models for about a month which seems odd since the compo should have spurred me on. I guess you never know when you are going to loose the "mojo" but Im back so even if I miss the deadline, Im still...

totally lost my mojo - Im nowhere near done. sucks :(

Sweet kit ! - There was a feature in in last months 'Model Aircraft Monthly' on polish Mig 21's hope you caught it!

Man I wish I could paint pilots that well - nice work!

Oh yes - I love this model! Built one years ago when the set first came out and got another one in the stash! Weathering wise, looks as though the studio miniature was sprayed with green-greys for the panel fading heres a linky well worth a look: http://www.mutara.net/Christies/Warbird.html

Hi All, Sorry bout the slow replies Ok: mega update Too right mate. Therein lies a problem however. In the box, you will find these: Initially, I was thinking "these look fraking awesome!" But then looking at reference photos such as: You can see that colour-wise , academy have really...
