Way too kind Bish, but thanks, btw, nice piece in Scale Talk.

She looks pretty darn good to me from the photos. 

Apreciated Gamera, that's the beauty of not being able to take GOOD pictures.

Thanks templar. And i thnik your being a bit hard on yourself, that is a nice build by any standards.

Gotta be hard on myself Bish. The difference between pics and live are ,well you probably know.Good pics would show the obvious (to me) flaws and shortcomings,but I'm pleased as punch to have assembled it rather cleanly,honed the use of tweezers,and manipulated and attached tiny PE,and begun to recognize problems and obstacles ahead of time. It's realizing the look one wants that eludes me.Onward and upward. 

Won't list all the defencies, but the fatal flaw of a distinct starboard list was finally remedied by deploying the boom to that side with the reasoning(?) being it may actually lean that way in the real world.Improvise,Adapt,Overcome. I also lost the last run of cage armour on the same side due to poor stanchion placement on the front fender. Lesson learned as to how instruction step #7 affects step #23.

Mandatory mea culpa for the photos as I'm still diddlin' with a new camera. There's a lot of pics as some lighting reflects attributes I find revealing. Got to learn the " Goldilocks " settings to capture both attributes in one shot.

 As far as painting and detailing; I'm appling my grandfather's maxim about golf:"you have to play for years,just to be bad."

Thanks.

That's freaking AWESOME!!! Great work. It's crying out for a base.

Love how you took the list to the side and worked it to your advantage. 

Thanks Griff,greatly appreciated.

Thanks Gamera, it was the only option I really had.

Very nice finish.

Always good to hear from you Pawel,thanks for checking in.

Thanks SprueOne, appreciate the sentiment.

It  looks to be a very complicated kit to build and you did an excellent job with it . Just needs a complimentary  base.

It got a little tedious at times, thanks for the compliment. It really doesn't deserve  a base, but if and when I do a dio for the first time it's a consideration to utilize.

Really thanks Tojo, but I've seen some of your stuff and you'd probably kick ass and take names.

Just a post script to this, cleaning up the work space I found the two - 3 piece wiper blades I put aside for attachment . Doh!

Is not that the way of things. Well, now you have some spares

And i seem to have missed those final pics. Looks amazing, really nice work on this.

Your comments are more than appreciated Bish, thanks. Plenty of spares left over from this kit, will have to find something to utilize them on.
