Klingon Bird-Of-Prey Build-FINISHED!!!

[trekriffic]

Hey everyone!

I'm participating in a model contest over on another forum. The contest rules prohibit posting build pics and such on other sites but allow contestants to provide links to the build thread on the contest sponsor's site. So I would like to invite the members here that are interested in the Klingon Bird-of-Prey to visit my build thread here:

If you'd rather not have to join to post a comment in the thread you can post your comments and observations here on SMA.

Video is up of the flickerng engine lights. It takes a minute or so before I get it focused so hang in there.

Paint's looking good, Trek.
Funny about finding the kit parts after building your own

Thanks Q! Thanks Jake!

My brush painting has gotten even better than when I was younger I think. May be attributable to having broken my wrist some years back; made the wrist a little stiffer and steadier lol.

Yet another update! Finished the wiring and got the fuselage and wings together. Now the fun stuff can begin!

Thanks Q!

I'm moving in with Tamiya pastel chalks now. Burnt Blue is a very cool color for the KBOP.



New update today:
