Yeah, I heard that rumour myself. Just my rotten luck...

Anyway, all this work hasn’t been wasted. It’s helped me to get back into scale-modelling and given we a lot of experience when converting scale-models. Experience which will be useful when I start tackling the big projects...

Usually I wouldn’t do it. But in this case, in order to get the commander to lean naturally on the copula, I had to take of some of the plastic on the underside of the arms. I then used brownstuff to sculpt the fabric back into place, slightly hanging out over the side of the copula. For this reason, i found it easier to glue him in place and the complete the sculpting and painting later.
