Hi all

Getting closer to the final push,  the spaceship is out of the spray booth and is under going painting of some of the details. The decals have been manufactured and are drying quietly to themselves.

Currently working on the shipping containers and their retention system.

Hi all

It is my great pleasure to inform you that this one is complete, it wasnt all plain sailing the decals fought me to the end. It was a different supplier to my usual and I think they were a bit thicker than what I am used to,  things were probably exacerbated by me spraying too much vanish on them.

What resulted was decals that curled like a Christmas magic fish that you find in a Christmas cracker, it took me  a few attempts before I realised it was having a bad reaction to the Microset and Microsol products. Once that was established things went a little easier.

Anyway considering that this was a sketchy half arsed idea of a build its come out pretty well.

And a couple of scale shots posed with an N scale Landrover and some figures, the space ship is meant to be around 1/144 scale so they are near enough........

This is another "GOB SMACKED" build!

Amazing that inside is an X-3 which found it's true calling.

The idea may have started out "sketchy" but the execution and end product are amazing.

That's a gorgeous and classy vessel, I could see it in several different SF settings.  Heck, it would even fit into the future of Men Into Space for those of an age to remember that show.
