Here is a Atomic City Capsule I just finished. Fun to build, and added a ton of details.

That's one awesome-looking build! You can be proud of that one. Amazing interior detail, all those perfect little toggle switches... wow.

Which are the parts you added? I love to learn about all the widgety little bits of stuff that folks scratchbuild and add to their models.

Great work!

Outstanding, and thanks for sharing! Any info on your scratchbuilding would be appreciated (reference sources, techniques/materials). I have one of these in my stash. I can only hope my turns out a fraction as good as yours.

Cheers, Rick

Stunning! Well done.

I love the detail of the wire harness's and the control panel.

You got a telegram from headquarters today. Headquarters--what is it? Well, it's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important right now. [ img] f_armorsecretm_ac7eb73[/ img]

Outstanding build! I just finished one of those for a client, and I was happy enough with my own work, but you did an AMAZING job. I'm particularly impressed with your interior detailing, most of which I ignored (however, mine will be displayed hatch closed, obscuring most of the detail you show.)

Nice job!

You did a _great_ job!

Can I talk to you offline about your build? I would love to have mine come out half as good as yours!

Same here.

That is absolutely beautiful. I feel like I could strap in and flip some switches.

I'd love to know what went into building that. The wiring alone looks like it might have taken months.
