Viper Mk II OOB
« on: December 12, 2011, 02:13:11 AM »
I'll go first :D So I am out in California working. I did not really think I would have time to build so I didn't bring my usual kit an box o bashin supplies. I could not stand it so I found a hobby shop and got some minimal stuff.

Since I don't have my usual vast array o parts to pic from I will be building this one oob. I will be customizing it with drilled out RCS thrusters and of course it will not be red and white (shudder)



I am off to the tool store to grab a pin vise more pics later

Thanks JP. So after much searching I came up with some proper tools


Got her all drilled out and puttied up. Note the minimal amount of filling required. These Moebius models are really most excellent. Having not built a model according to instructions in years it is very pleasant to work on one that is this well made.



I'll most likely paint up the cockpit and pilot tonight. Tomorrow I'll grab some sandpaper and bluetac and get her in primer.

Ron, If your going to go stir crazy and have to pick up a quick fix you just can't go wrong with a Viper. I'd like to pick up a few of those kits, glad to hear they are up to snuff.

They are most excellent J. I started a MK VII when I was home for Thanksgiving and it is also a very nice kit. I am really happy with Moebius. I already have another 2 at the house and fully intend to grab another 7. Both , of course, to bash right up.

Yep learned a lesson the hard way though. Do not use Rustoleum rattlecan primer. I should have gone to an auto parts store and got car primer. Rustoleum comes out way too fast and thick. Luckily I had already bought a brush and thinner so I was able to get most of my details back.
I'll have to post that in tips and tricks.

All righty then. Some PSR progress . I also found through research that I missed a couple of RCS thrusters in the upper engine cowling. ( Moebius missed them too, they don't provide decals for them) I also drilled out the gun muzzles :yarr:

Please allow me to clarify :-[ I did not mean I intended to sand OFF the stripes. It is just that they came out kinda lumpy due to me not making the salt application heavy enough in spots . There are still little grains under heavy paint that don't want to just wash off and make nifty missing paint areas. A little bit o light wet sanding with a super fine stick should make every thing slick :yarr:

Now that's done like a true master craftsman! Man the Vipers they used on the TV show didn't even look this good!

Now that looks so cool on the diamond plate. I can juts imagine a Viper pilot making a model of his ride (like Adama making a sailing ship model)

Looks good as or better than models made for movies.  With the great detail and weathering you kept it looking believably consistent as a used Viper from all angles.  Well done  :)
