I know what you mean... gives you time to just lose yourself in a project. I once time travelled 3 days into the future working on a project, lost all track of time, was in the zone and didn't realize 3 days had passed. I didn't eat, drink, or even sleep the entire time. Was the weirdest and most profound experience I've ever had and I realized since that time I have to set a timer to remind myself to take a break or eat and sleep or I just get lost again! I love it!

First row of tiles complete, I was going to stick some styrene strips in the filed out grooves but I think I like it as it is

Honest opinions please

Finally finished the floor, a lot of work went into this. What do you think? be honest



Only just primed

Spent today priming all the out shell parts and making a start on painting the hold parts.

I decided to go with Vallejo metallic back for the floor and IJN Kure grey for the walls, I went for Kure grey as it was the darkest grey I had, Im not sure yet if I will keep this or go out and buy a darger one, or to go with metallic black on the walls too but thinking it might be too much black, opinions welcome.

Edit, I am now thinking perhaps to go for Vallejo metallic gun metal on the floor and the walls then darken it with washes and then steel dry brushed on to the grates

Thanks Mick,

I spent about a week making the floor, it certainly was a lot of effor but I am well chuffed with it.

I have chaged the colour of the floor and walls now, the walls have had a dusting of Tamiya Metallic Silver, the floor had the same treatment too, I have just finished the 2nd coat of black vallejo wash to dirty it up.

Its progressing nicely

Someone's got wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on their hands! Awesome job bro... looks great! :)

A little bit of trivia for anyone reading this... the floor grates were actually those big plastic pallets. They had a bunch of them on the lot just taking up space so they used them for the flooring.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

LrdSatyr8 - I just learnt the true meaning of taking my time and patience when I started using a ton of photo etch on my IJN Yamato build

Today was one of those rare days where I had a day off and no list of chores from SWMBO so the only thing to do was spend some time with my to Falcons

After respraying the floor a slightly lighter colour and doing the 2 side walls metallic grey, the up rights and pipe base on the right wall a slightly darker shade than the walls for a little contrast, I thought I would try out pigments for the first time.

Here is what I used



And this is where I am now, too much? about right? Cargo dust on the left, plasma burn on left hand pit, rust on right pit and bottom right corner, grime on walls, uprights and pipe base as well as floor





Flash used on these 2, its not the best pictures using the flash but hopefully give you a bit more of an idea of what I did

hi all I just have a few questions 1 does anyone know what the cost will be for the model as it has not reached New Zealand yet 2 how many parts is there I mean how many mags are there

so far that is all I have to ask but I was told the only question you do not ask is the dumb question but how do you know if it is dumb as you have to ask then ask

Hi Bruce

As LrdSatyr8 has said it is 100 issues, as to cost that is an unknown factor the same with if or when it will be launched in New Zealand.

Could I ask that you use the correct part of the forum to ask these type of questions though rather than high jack someone's build diary
