I thought I'd already posted me starting this but I looks like I haven't

Thanks for this build thread!


Please share any observations of kit quality, model fit concerns, and any tips you learn to make a better build.


Looking forward to it!

Fix that seam!! Reprint the page, and glue it in there. It will make a great different. The shape looks excellent, but the gap distracts. You could actually print it on thin paper and go right over the piece that is in place.

I know what you mean, it's def a build note to make. The "saucer" components do not line up perfect!

The seam to the right of the registration has grey paper on the inside, but I agree - it needs something else!

You can only go so far with these models, but pieces really do have the right shape you gave to them.

Its really helpful, and appreciated, when a builder, like yourself, provides details of problems with models, regarding their fit or other issues. Its really helps others adjust, or in the least, understand why they are getting results they would not prefer.

Thanks again for sharing this!

Little update, as you can see I've added a wooden rod to support the pylons

 

[AdmiralGR]

Kinda reminds me of a Horseshoe Crab!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This is coming together nicely!
I like the idea of adding the wooden supports.

 

[micahrogers]

Looks nice!

Thanks for sharing tips on how to improve the kit!

Or a shoe-enlarger?

Lol - yes, I can see that now - two of them back to back would make certainly streech your boots!!

 

[zathros]

These parts look great!!. As far as the other piece that didn't match up, you could always split them up in a program, and mirror image the part that fits right and seamlessly put them back together. I know it's easily done it Rhino, I think Paint, GImp might work, Revelle-Fan would know an easy way to fix this.

I wonder whether it was a "stretch" to "boot" this kit up off the graphics program?



Great build thread and good tips...

 

[AdmiralGR]

"stretch" to "boot"

Oh dear lol
