Great work,thats the way to do it.Cant hide all that great interior work.

incredible work ... WoW

Beautiful job and an inspiration to all of us. Just one question: is this the kit that was offered as a cut-away or were you busy with a Dremel? Love the exterior paint scheme.

It's the cutaway kit. Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Lovely work Colin and a great looking finish that can be displayed either way around, but I would suggest a rotating glass base for it.What was your opinion of the build progress, the model generally and the instructions?

Next stop Show podium, a masterpiece. As I’ve just been dealing with a similar issue I particularly appreciate the nice hard edges of the primer paint on the cutaway plates. It’s a caps-lock expletive to get that right no matter how good the masking tape is, do you have some secret technique? Superb job

Thanks Darren, overall it was a pretty good build with a few issues as noted in my build blog. I did get a bit worn down by the high part count and had to reset for a while near the end. I think one of the biggest things is to pay attention to the sub assemblies and dry fit everything to make sure it goes together all right. Tolerances are very tight and a coat of paint on mating surfaces can cause some fit issues. The PE is a bit fiddly and fragile, plus there were some fit issues with the hull crossbraces. I found the isntructions to be quite well laid out in general, no real issues there. It was a challenging build and definitely not for a newbie.

Thanks Tim, no special technique, just a fine brush, magnifying lamp and patience lol.

Colin,

Wonderful work - inspiring! Man, you have sold this kit for me.
