Earlier this week I started work on the BB 64 Wisconsin from Atlantis models and I have to say that I'm not impressed. When I opened the box I thought "alright, a nice fast build, good details to paint." However reality, like it does, reared its head and now I just finished the superstructure for the ship and I have never seen more gaps that need to filled and sanded in my life on such a simple model!

This wa the worst offender, the gap on the front and rear were about a millimeter each.

The rest of the model isn't bad (as far as I can tell), but it certainly isn't the fast build I was looking forward to.
Ok grumpy rant over
. Here are some more pictures.

Going to be laying some paint down on it this weekend (no plans, nothing to do. First time in about 3 months
.)The pile of plastic in the background are all of the guns and the superstructure. The planes I've already assembled and I have them stored in the box for now.
Paint and final assembly is next (although I do need to cut some plasticard for interior supports).
