I’m currently having issues with my printer, trying to get them worked out. So I’m going through the models I’ve already printed off to see what I can get started with. Also, getting my modeling area set back up. It’s been a long while since I’ve worked on any of them. Crazy how the last few...

Hello Zathros! Thank you! I recently started rewatching Babylon 5 and it made me think of you. I miss the chats we used to have. :)

Thank you all for the warm welcome and encouragement!

Hello everyone! It’s been probably over 10 years since I’ve been an active member on here. I never meant to disappear, but got pulled away by life’s demands. But now my kids are moved out and have their own lives (we’re still very close though), I now work from home, and have recently been...

Hey Skyseeker, it's been a while. The fleet is temporarily on hold, but I hope to be back very soon to finish up the Colonial Movers & continue work on the fleet. Been a very busy last few months. Hope you are doing well my friend. :)

I haven't been able to do much on the CM these past few evenings. I did start putting the mid-section together ( part 28, & parts 11 for the cones). I found a wooden dowel measuring 3/8" in diameter (sorry, I'm not sure what that translates to in mm) that I'm hoping to use to reinforce the spine...

Thanks Skyseeker, btw, you're earlier comment about my build of this particular ship coinciding with my moving I had to chuckle at. I really could have used a full size version of this ship to help me in my move. It's amazing how much crap can accumulate around the place in just a few short...

Thank you Zathros, I appreciate that!

I made just a few additions this evening. Starting with some greebling with the yellow & red conduits on the starboard side & the housing they feed into. My craftsy & artistic daughter suggested I use colored paper clips , so I did & I'm very happy with the results. I also assembled the rear...

Added a few more greebles on the topside of the main hull. Hope I'm not overdoing it. Once I get in greeble-mode, it's hard to stop!;)

Thank you Revell-Fan for noticing my screw up before I got much farther:headbange: , & also for that front view pic of the ship. It helps to have a different perspective. I had to lightly score the glue joints on the top of the wing where it meets the main hull, & on the bottom of the cockpit...

I've begun a little bit of greebling with these panels on the bottom side of the main hull.

The cockpit section, with all parts glued together & attached to the port side wing (part 14). I hope I got the angle positioning right with the bigger section. That's how I interpreted it from the instruction pics. The bottom pic shows the approximate position in glueing to the wing.

The parts for the "cockpit, bridge?" section laid out & partially assembled. From left to right, parts 15, 16, 17, & 18. For part 19 I substituted a small section of toothpick & painted it gray. It attaches underneath the cockpit bubble. For the cockpit bubble, I substituted a plastic pea-sized...

On the port side, parts 20 & 25 & their approximate positions.
