That looks great! I've been thinking about that print also and your photos have pretty much convinced me that's the way to go. I had been contemplating your original flooring but this looks more right to me. :)

I have a question does it come with all the electroni'cs e.g. lighting and a sound board if so I think I might order four of them when New Zealand gets them.

Hi, Loving your attention to detail, Can I ask where you got the floor details from for printing, or would you be willing to share? Cheers Paul

So my shipment of bits came from Shapeways! New cockpit canopy to replace the sub standard issue one  You can see how much finer the details are when primered   Also cockpit bits, im going to rebuild the cockpit completely with these parts and a standard floor that I have reordered (issue 1)  Some extras for the hold area  Again the details in primer  Set about the cockpit, preshading  first top coat  Looks a bit mismatched at this stage  Nuln oil  Then dry brushed and weathered    Still needs a bit of work to finish off

Done the seats today. Primered up, sprayed the pilot seats a tan, and the other 3 black, then handpainted the cushions on in tan  Then made the pilot seats very dirty  Drybrushed tan  Made the cushions look worn using pastels  Then drybrushed silver over the raised parts for a worn look

Done some more bits, finished off some of the other 3d printer cockpit bits from shapeways Masked off this which was a PITA, I actually cut off some of the delicate control levers to do this  These bits not so hard  Sprayed black  Same with the side bits  Dry brushed with a light grey, and silver on the edges of the black bits, the reat step parts of the sides are going to be cut off anyway, so thats why they arent painted  Picked out some of the details and reglued on the controls and painted silver

Damn that looks so nice... can't wait to get mine! Did you forget to put your piston rods back on before you sealed up the cockpit? :)

So my next lot of issues turned up More hull plating sections and interior bits. Primed them all up  Preshading  Top coat  Made up a large section of frame  Decided to dry brush these parts next to each other for consistancy, you know the drill now, nuln oil  Dry brushed, only the bits that will be visible, the large plain sections wont be on the finished model
