Lol thanks guys, I do need to revist those lights but first I needed a stand for this, not only for displaying it but also to keep it strong and rigid and handy to hold while painting. There's nothing pretty or clever here but it works really well. A simple floating shelf wall bracket was used. I will go back in and fill the gun area and maybe add the window frame canopy, which will be the old AMT Vader Tie fighter canopy....if it fits!

Ok so some more work on the lights, and using a simple plastic milk bottle I can diffuse the lights perfectly:
And I've managed this whole build not injuring myself and today the knife slipped. Be warned this kit WILL harm you lol:

Whoa doggy! It's not a real build if it doesn't make you bleed. Good to know it's red and not some superhuman green or blue

I have been warned about Vinyl kits that they have the same need for blood. I hope that doesn't happen to me.
Nice work on the engines.

Not a huge update guys but a milestone never the less, these side Walls have been kinda tricky to sit flush with my cutting but with some chopping and sanding of the resin parts I seem to be winning. Here they are dry fitted:
