Thanks MiJob! :) Not sure what the next projects are. Maybe I'll complete the entire series of Thunderbirds 1-5. I do have all of the templates. Who knows. Just finished Seasons 1-5 of Babylon 5 for the Fourth time. Thinking about some models there. Of course there is the new...

Final pics Finally at the end of this particular journey. Here's the final pics. Enjoy! Gave the Thunderbird 3 to my friend yesterday. He really enjoyed it.:) It did bring back some good childhood memories. On a side note I started this project during lent. What I gave up was...

Yep. Took me longer than I thought it would. My friend who I gave it to really liked it as well. Thanks for your kind comments.:)

WOW!!! :surprise::surprise::surprise::surprise:I concur with Z on this one. A tutorial on this would be great! Those tires look like they are made of rubber. Excellent job!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

What happens if you do touch ups I was doing some touch ups on the model in some areas with the silver marker. In the process this happened - What happened was that the marker leached out more marking material and it oozed over on top of the model.:headbange::headbange::headbange: Now do we...

Strut assembly on the pad Tabs Tabs are folded in place on the struts and glued. While the glue is setting hold the tabs in place and fold down the ends (see below). Struts with tabs. Struts glued on the landing pad. At this point I realized I created two trusses that needed reinforcement...

Landing pad This is a landing pad found on the Genet site https://www.genetmodels.com/freestuff.php Note the edge coloring to keep it black on the edges to remove glare on lining up the top and bottom portions. Top and bottom landing pad portions glued together. The hard part about this is...

OK finally here we go with the struts. Struts - first pre-fit the struts and check for alignment issues As you can see we have a MINOR issue here. The upper wings and lower rocket pods are out of alignment just a bit even when you assemble everything on the seams. Recommend in future builds...

Good luck Rhaven and safe travels!:)

Thanks MIjob! :)

Damn! Great start! :) Looking at the cycle I see where Tron got its inspiration.

Wow!!:surprise::surprise::surprise: Amazing simply amazing!!:BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO:

OK here we go with the repair.. Starting with the skirt portion. Glue from the seam and get it positioned. Then work your way around. Glue in increments and continue to work your way around. Done. If any edges over lap glue and lightly press otherwise the paper will crease the wrong way...

Yep that's what I said. However, all is not lost...:)

After about a week (my time) thinking about a way to overcome the above, a solution hit me... I cut into the model until the upper portion was able to move. Then moved the model until it was vertical then glued everything in place What happened was that when the model was re-positioned to a...

Getting ready to attach the side struts ... or so I thought Ok I had all the sections glued together, but when I rested them on the nacelles this happened This is when I had an Anakin Skywalker moment.:headbange::headbange::headbange::headbange::hammerhead::hammerhead::hammerhead: It's...
