Space Battleship Missouri, or at least, my rendition of it

Thanks ikar

You did a good job on that one.  I would have had a different look to it but you did good.  I once considered a carrier but decided not to.  I still have a couiple more battleships and battlecruisers to do After I finish my Seaquest.

Thanks guys,

John, not even close LOL

Looks cool, Steve. Very creative.

Can definitely use some turrets on the carrier when I start that one.

Steve,

Perhaps this will give you some ideas.

The Space Battleship Missouri is done.

Here the MO is with some red on her. Now that it's on I like it so I'll add some more.

I was thinking of copper for the wing pods, engines nozzels, antennas and hull vents.

Thanks Willy. It sure dressed up that old Revell kit.

Love how it looks Steve, came out great 

Well, after some more work, I think I'm finally done adding and buttoned her up. Guns on, as well as the antennas. I think I'm going to paint her black and red with the black having a star field. The "camo" will be a MS 32 18D pattern like North Carolina using the black and red. I'm not sure I'll paint any red on the superstructure but I'll see how dark it is. Anyway, her she is just finished, then with the black.

Thanks SD

Some more work on the MO last night. I decided to make the forward blisters nutron pulse guns and the bow barrel a sonic wave gun. Of course sanding and filling is in order.

It looks and sounds awesome Steve .

Hopefully a lot less spart parts.

I'm thinking of converting the forward blisters into gun pods. Make hole, insert tube, sand tube even with pod, bingo, some sort of fusion pulse phaser or heavy sonic cannon.

Cool.  That's some serious frankenstiening action.  You wont have any filler and sand paper left when you're done!

Started on the superstructure on guns. The guns are not glued yet and I want to do a lot more to the super.

Hang in there bro! It's coming together, don't rush things, and most of all, have fun! 

Don't forget phasers! 

Either lasers or disrupters maybe...

This is awesome. I too started this kit. What a huge disappointment the actual kit is.  I guess you get what you pay for ($10) I am gonna build mine as a technique practice  / Paint mule but you took it a lot further and it looks awesome!  

It's a pig of a kit, nothing fits, flashing everywhere, extreamly poor detail, just right for kitbashing 

I built it as a kid and spent hours "sailing" it in the grass with the Arizona and Bismarck predending sea battles. Of course I didn't see it as the total disaster it is, it was a super fun toy, and that's what it was designed for.

I'm building the superstructure when something else is drying. What a mess, but I have ideas on how to deal and add to it. Lots of filler. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the 5" mounts yet.

a little more done to the MO. It kinda looks like Buck Rodgers LOL.

Willy,

I was looking into using the missle caps off my Ohio boomer as the old fasion ray gun look but not really sold on the idea. I'll keep looking through the boxs for something but I may end up with the cone idea.

Thanks sickdude,

I had some time to work on the SBMO. The engine nozzles are complete and now working on the "pods" on the wings and tail. Using drop tanks of course. I'm also thinking of ways to make the gun barrels more futuristic.

Sounds great!

Another thingy, to stick on this thing, is always, is always good...
