Had a little rest from the Refit. Klingon bird of prey is on the bench...
Well guys.. As you may have noticed, my participation of late has not been great.. With Australia in the World Cup. Late nights, work and the family. I am a pretty tired little boy...
The Refit is still comming along, but I had a little trouble with the neck, and so when I start to have problems, it means I am rushing, and should clear the mind of it.. So, while it is sitting, I have been playing on and off with a few other projects..
One project that I am having fun with is my Buck Rogers Star Fighter.. .... Behind the Viper, and the X-Wing. This thing is the greatest design for a space fighter I have ever seen.. I loved the show as a kid, but not a fan of the cast or stories. But I did watch to see the Starfighter...
A simple little kit, the cockpit needs to be assembled before you can do anything else.. As there are no landing gear supplied, it seems strange to put a craft in a flight display with no pilot.. So I went through the spares, and with a little cutting and shaping, I now have a 1/35 pilot looking the right size in there.. I also didnt want my pilot to look like Buck Rogers with the whit jumpsuite.. I instead chose to go with a regular pilot with a grey flight suite.. H edoes have the same colored armband that Buck Rogers suite fashioned...
Anyways, just a few rough pics of where I am at.. At the momment, she is together awaiting sanding and detailing, and then I will begin painting!
