Looking good, and I didn't realize it was that size, looked much smaller in the bags

Cool. I'm liking this.

Nice paint John, got any pics to put it into scale ? I'm guessing about 30 cm long...

 

[Jaitea]

Looking forward to see more John

I dug out some books to get some scans, you probably have these references:

[JohnSimmons]

Rookie it's a little over 30cm I think mate (sorry for the late reply!) and cheers John I have those but not scanned in, sooo I have them printed out as refrence in the shed
A little bit of an update, I'm finding modelling time really hard at the moment! I've got the little stowage boxes painted and attached, again I probably won't weather these as they will be covered up with the side armour....well maybe a quick wash so I don't come across lazy!

Could you place an in-scale figure next to your kit to giev us some size relation, please?

Looking Great John, there's fantastic detail there.

Sorry to hear that time is tight at the minute, but so far you've been able to still keep the hobby up, not like me....I had to completely put things on hold for the first 4 or so years of my kids lives.

I had to muck about with 3d programs on the computer instead.....not as much fun

* sorry meant to say, your painting adds so much scale to that model already.....it looks like a cargo ship

Nice contrasting colours on the stowage boxes, looks cool.

 

[Junkie]

What!?! No hairspray chipping!

Just kidding. Looks cool. Can't wait to start to see the armor.

Thanks, I'll try to place a 1/144 fig (if I can find one..) next to it in the next update.

Yeah my other half is great and let's me pop out in the shed for an hour a week if things are going well, plus I'm lucky enough to work locally so sometimes I can even get 30mins in a lunch break (amazing what you can get done in a half hour actually). And thanks for the comments.

Thanks, do you like the wooden coffins? lol

No hairspray as yet my friend! All though the rebels did like their hair looking nice. Armour is coming, but next I've got to work out the lighting 8)
