Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

Met Mark on my visits to Wonderfest when I was able to get over. A real gentleman and knowledgeable modeller. Got to his clinics with Terry M a couple of times. Good times.

Thoughts with his family and his extended Modelling Mates family.

Nice stuff Joe.

The using a block of AA batteries sounds like the go.. the 9V clip was easier.. but now I know for sure. s I read the same thing about the 9V block batteries so confirms what I was thinking that it is a capacity problem more than anything else. Plan to fit a "wall wart" socket as well at s...

In the recent Gunstar Build I used LED's to light the model. Used a parallel wiring loom, individual Resistors and a 9V battery for show power, which is enough for a single day operation. 6 x LED were 5mm normal coloured LED, on all the time. 4 x LED were 3mm flashers The problem I have found is whe...

Both great suggestions.

Let the experimentation commence !

thanks guys

Doing the 1/72 Gunstar kit and putting a single LED in each of the engine pods. Using some 5mm Cyan LED's for a change. My real question is do you folks have any ideas on ways/techniques to make the LED light more diffused rather than the specific bright single glow in that sort of engine bell arran...

Look!!! I have done some more. Some more minutes spent on this.. really, really need to extract a digit and finish this getting there - side view backy, toppy view some final details such crew commander (or not), perhaps some sensors and then some detail painting then...... finished!!! If only :oops...

.. and they are very nice.

Picked up a few items at a local Model Show.. the 1/35 bucket has 5 parts !

The BESA MG's for Brit tanks are just fantastic as are the 20mm Flak barrels.

heaps of niceness there... got a couple of barrels for kit bashing as well.
To be sure, to be sure

Finally.. I have extracted a digit and got a bit more done.

Well its now all grey if that counts.. the goof coat of primer

Primer
The "it's all too hard to mesh will do" bottom

Getting into painting now

Just Ace
Nothing more to say really.. it just rocks

Know how difficult that slat armour is so major Kudos there.

Gumball type toy vending machines at supermarkets

As soon as I saw it I thought original Battlezone, from the Arcade game

Nicely done though

nice and chunky

looking forward to the next update

Gotta say.. that works for me

Well Done Guy

Thanks guys that just about tips it on 1/35.. I have more 1/35ish bits anyways...

More to follow.
Wait out

lurching back into progress... Not huge amounts done but getting there beginning to flesh out some of the details now is crunch time on scale so I took a photo with both a 1/48 and 1/35 figure Scaling shot After looking at the pix I am leaning toward 1/48, although 1/35 scale as a smaller vehicle ma...

excellent Step by step
Thanks

fan-bloody-tastic.

There are no other words

just ORKsome...


love it

Well certainly not many kit parts on that one

nice build

You are on fire !!

that is ace

Ok.. now I will have to extract a digit and get mine rolling..err.. hovering

yessum that is coming along really nice and I gotta say it does look the part

Well done Sir!

Final metres to run..don't stop now

Well it looks just beaut..regardless.

Of the scale demo's I agree with the diabolical Doc... 1/35 works

Fascinated to see how this turns out

All it needs now is a boarding ramp

Seriously nice work here

Anyway, I'm struggling with the scale of this thing! This is always the turning point..what scale. Even from our side looking at photos.. it is hard to gauge what size it is now. A solution I have used is put a figure of each scale along side the vehicle.. then go with which one "floats your b...

Extremely Snorkelly.. great build

I like it. A lot

This appears to be shaping up nicely

All kinds of goodness there.

Seriously well done

I too like the Steampunk feel of this.

Clever use of gadgetry

Nice work all of it

'specially the Slammers Tank..."sure love to be up there with you panzers"
