Good job, Mr & Mrs G.

Thanks! They really add to the design of her. It is now starting to look like a space ship instead of a weird shaped hammer....

Thanks, it was the design that caught my eye in the first place.

Me too!

Actually the work on the pins went very well. Thanks to a tip by Jamaicanmodels69 He suggested that I use small finishing nails or braids instead of making my own pins. Worked very well and was much quicker and easier.

Thank you!

Thank you, yes the fins are something, they define this model.

Patrick, I will tell her you said that....

Looking good. I saw dessloks cruiser in the background. How is that one coming along? really like your vids. They are a great inspiration for me to hit the bench and build something.

Thanks for the Kudos!!

Dessloks has been sitting idle for the last four weeks. Work has dominated my schedule and left me little free time to work on hobbies. That changes starting tomorrow. I have four models that need to be done by Jan 20th, so time to get to work!

Just keeps getting better and better G. You're doing some excellent work on this build. It's always fun when the better half gets involved as well. Glad you guys are having fun!!!

 

[Grendels]

Thanks CT, she tells me that she loves the look on my face while I am building so she will sit and watch. She has built up a couple of models as well, so I have seen the same look on her face. It is nice when both of us can share the same hobby.

 

[Quaralane]

Being able to share is a nice thing.
My ex-wife and I tried that, but she lost interest after the divorce

 

[Grendels]

She asked for Godzilla slippers for Christmas, am I lucky or what!!!!!!

 

[fubar]

She doesn't have a sister thats single and likes tall Englishmen by any chance does she??? ;D

 

[Grendels]

Sorry, only a brother.....

Yes you are lucky Grendels. I have to admit I am as well. My better half loves Star Trek, Star Wars and BSG. Two of my early Christmas gifts were "Sculpting A Galaxy" and "Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections". Two excellent books to help on my latest projects. She supports my hobby 100%.

 

[schweinhund227]

Soulmates that shares or support your Hobby ? Hummm

I like the Slippers Idea ! LOL at least its not Diamonds ! LOL
I find the Hobby to be a solitary thing... Quiet time !!! you know ?

The ship is getting there John.... I am sure you will be glad When she is done ! The ship I mean !

Do you think you will have time to paint it before the END of the year ???

Anyway ! it was fun to see it come together.....

later buddy !

 

[Grendels]

Great to hear CT: Mine supports my hobby, and will join in from time to time.

Norm: It will be glad when she is done. I should have paint on her after by the new year. I might not be done with the paint, but she will have paint on her. Not much left now.

I started another project which is slowing this down a bit. Go to my YouTube channel to see. It isn't related to models so I am not posting it on this forum. Well maybe in Chit chat.

 

[Grendels]

Well I didn't get her done as expected, but here is another update....

Brakiri Cruiser: More with seams and Aves.

Work still continues, only four parts left to put on her.
