You are correct that you will need 5 binders for the whole series, each one holds 20 issues


Question is will they give us 5 binders as part of the subscription? Or do we just get 1 and have to pay for the other 4?

I didn't realize that US subscribers got the binders at all. Considering the length of the subscription, I can't say that filling up a binder over the course of 4 months is too bad. I think the expensive option is finding a frame for that massive blueprint.Drool

Chewie.
The weathering looks great. Cool All my parts are still primed for the most part, waiting to do the flight deck in on session to get it out of the way. Keep up the great work.

Here are some shots of the weathering on the cockpit side panels and my first addition of fiber optics. The plan will be to add more fiber but this was the test run.

Looking really good. I especially like the amount of weathering you did on the front panel. The addition of the fiber optic lighting is going to step it up a notch too. Keep up the great work!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words.

Has anyone been working on their Dejarik tables. I have noticed that in the Haynes manual, the colored dots on either side are different colors. On one side, the majority are red and on the other the majority are blue. On the table supplied, the majority on both sides are red.

I went ahead and repainted my table dots blue on one side and then did a black wash. I will weather it further with pastels once the wash dries. would love to see what others have done with the gaming table.
