Timeslip 1/350 Action VI Transport

[nicholassagan]

Slight bit-o-progress. I did some more detail painting…not sure how much more to do. I also did a few filtered panels here and there using watered down silver and another filter with blue. Subtle, but effective.

Also finished installing the engine diffusers. There was a glue-not-setting-right issue that was corrected.

The decal hunt also began. There’s a stack of various markings from my scraps that may or may not prove to be useful.

AND as a final-ish touch I’ll add a couple of crew members out on a space walk. They are Trumpeter’s 1/350 crew I think…really helps give a sense of size of the vessel.

Cool! Those figs are a nice touch

Yep, the guys walking on the hull would be a cherry on the top for this build.
Also, love how the panel lines weathering turned out - now too much, not too little - just perfect

 

[Bizarre]

Awesome lights!

 

[Cash]

I think it is going to look so cool once it is done. Nice lightning work also.

That came out looking awesome my friend... but I just realized something... wasn't this originally the "Lady Luck" which was Lando Calrission's ship after he lost the Falcon to Han in sabacc game?

 

[Cave_Dweller]

Wow! I love it, that ship has a really nice look and feel to it. Your painting and work on the cargo bays brings it to life. The led,lighting really adds authenticity. Fantastic ship

 

[JohnSimmons]

Stunning

 

[Leighbo]

Great finish to an awesome build.

Really nice work on the detail painting and weathering, looks like its spent a lot of time in space!

Top job
