Meant to post this a couple weeks ago, but I've been busy with school.
First off, an Intro:
I bought this kit for a (relatively) inexpensive $50 at my LHS, and found that it was a ridiciously easy build. It was also the only Finemolds kit (that I'm aware of) that is cast in colored plastic--light grey for the display base and 'chrome' parts, yellow (yes, YELLOW) for the rest of the craft. It fell together quickly, as typical of Finemolds, but I wanted to paint it something different from that awful yellow.
Unfortunately, no progress pics on the ship itself, but here it is finished:
But the base was rather bland, so I decided, with my spare time from the kit (it took like 4 hours to build, including paint drying time), to make it into a mini-diorama:
And I won't bore you with my two 'in progress' pictures, but here's the final result:
Thank you for looking!
Keep up the great work.
