Hi everyone and thank you for nice replyes!


After a 5 or so days of silence I can finally say that my expectations to finish this RSD by monday (passed already) were really from the field of science fiction :)


But not to be boring let ume get straight to business and show You how far I’ve got yet:


First of all 10 extra bright blue LEDs were installed into the back of engine-section for lighting all the engines. Te gray wire You can see on the picture bellow is for a big 10mm white LED, that is going to light a few windows in the roof of the hyperdrive section.

And here is the hyperdrive section itself, with the decals already applied:

The side boards of the ship have sustained heavy washing and several coats of drybrushing before I’ve achieved the result, that satisfied me with its depth:

Along with that I managed several small modifications, as, for example, this custom lower deck heavy turbolaser, that replaced an original poorly looking one:

Finally I completed all the drive section, sealed it with matt finish and masked till the better times, drawing my attention to lighting  the main hull windows and the bridge. Guess the next several pics are completely self â€" explanatory:

As You can see, the upper part of the hull together with the bridge are complete too, except the paneling with decals.


I’ve decided to use a compact neon lamp for lighting the hull itself, and for small 6V â€" bulbs are used for better lighting the bridge. A lighting test has been already committed, but I’d prefer to make photos of it in action after I get all the wiring glued along the walls, for the wires not to be seen in windows.


Thanks everyone for Your attention!
