1/350 Romulan BOP

Just extraordinary...!

Contact Scott at awstudios@verizon.net and he can set you up with one if any are left.

Where can you get one?

Do you remember that ketchup jingle? Anticipation ...

Why do you keep me waiting?

Last night I finished fixing my primer coat issues and will start laying down some aluminum this weekend.

Here she is in stealth mode. I imagine at this point I could uncover all the lights, turn her on and hold her up to a starry sky and she would be pretty much invisible. I do have a couple spots that need sanding andtouching up then can start working on the metal finish.

I guess you know but some of us are still awaiting more? Have you had time for any updates?

Good news, I decanted more Krylon paint yesterday!!!!!

But I (we!) want to see more!

Busy, busy, busy. Still have not decanted paint

Just a friendly bump in the new year to see how it's going Swanny?

the thing looks amazing. 

Really the electrical stuff did not take any special skill other than being able to use a solder gun and operate an on-line resistor calculator.

Paint; need to decant more Krylon and its just a wee bit colder out than I would like. Had some other 'special' paints arrive a few days ago and will do a test swatch once the Krylon has been decanted.

wow I wish I had the electical sil to do that. hmm,  maybe I wil start with another Generations Bird of prey, hmmmm.

Swanny,

 Just a friendly bump to see if your paints arrived?

I tested the white glue idea and decided that using Incredible White Mask applied with a toothpick worked better. Application  was about the same but the White mask was a thicker coating that came off easier. All lenses have been masked and most of the model is now primed gloss black. Ran out of paint last night so in a short holding pattern right now.

Ordered some paints today, something very different from my normal fair. Can't tell you what yet - don't want to spoil the surprise. I do have to test the idea first though to make sure it will work as expected.

Swanny,

 White glue is a great trick. Both for a masking agent and even if you wanna bring something up flush and level within an opening since it dries clear.

 Just be careful to keep the glue fully within the opening because anything slightly outside that edge can trigger you pulling up fresh paint along with it later.

I think I will try the white glue myself on the 1/144th scale B-1 Bomber that I am building for a client.

It sounds like a good idea.

Another evening of sanding and putty application. Hopefully this will be the last round of this stuff. I'm also testing Bondoman's idea of the white glue on a couple lenses to see how it works. He suggested using it as a masking agent when I get to painting then picking it off with tweezers.

Great progress! I can't wait to see the video as well.

very nice. Cant wait to see the video.

I actually did a little modeling tonight (ain't that a surprise?) and did the final install of the Plasma Cannon. Still frames don't really capture what is happening here and a video will be coming soon however the first image shows the weapon ramping up and the second show it either a split second before or after the main pulse (very hard to catch that in a still picture) then the weapon ramps back down to off.

And I most certainly AM ENJOYING this one Swanny!

Top notch, all the way!!!

Turning out, as usual I might add

Spectacular!
