Good Evening All!
I've been lurking around the forum for some time and have enjoyed the site and your great forum posts. I thought I'd join in and share a WIP that's been on my bench for a while:
I've had the Revell/Monogram Cylon Raider kit in my stash since it was re-issued 15/16 years ago. For a kit that's 30+ years old, it's not a bad kit. However, it lacks in the fit and engineering department. So, I've been working off-and-on for some time resolving some of it's issues in hopes of building a reasonably representable final product. I was hoping to finish in time for the 2012 Nationals 3 weeks ago - but life got in the way. I did attend BTW and enjoyed every day of the event!
I'm 98% complete with the build and just about ready for paint. I added engine lights and scratch built a fair amount of new/replacement parts. You'll see lots of white styrene all over and even packed in seams.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the group and continuing to learn from you all. This is a great hobby!
