Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

So looking for an opinion.....got the opportunity to purchase either a Tena Controls or a Madman lighting kit for the 1:500 Revell kit. Ive ooked at some video and other online sources but what wou;d the consensus be for the better of the two kits? And while I'm at it, how would the Paragrafix Fan b...

And how did I miss that? Perfect

Dug the Big Lady up outta my stash today, and since I no longer have an evil Ice Queen to say I cant display her anywhere looking for a Basic lighting kit. Dont think I wanna go with all the bells and whistes....just basic lit purtyness Dont have to blink or fade or do warp sounds.....Any suggestions?

Yep, took stock yesterday and I gots .020 in stock as well. Like the idea of glue tabs, I can see a definate need for that. I started out on a little project yesterday using leftover bits laying on the bench just to exercise the skills a bit....... http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q669/shayguru/d...

ooooh yeah man that is the ticket........ Love the way the catamarans came up, what didja use to skin those suckers? Thats pretty much what I had envisioned on the viper nose. Truley an inspirational build.... Heres to hoping the packages I have floating around out there hit dirt today so I can star...

VERY NICE AKIRA!!!!!! Thats the kinda build I like to do!!!! What scale is that in?

As for the .040 I wasn't thinking of using it as a wrapper, but doing the curves along the longitudinal axisin 8 facets then using Aves and some sanding to get the final contour around the diameter.....

Yeah I was leaning strongly toward that option anyways. while not the easiest route its prolly the cheapest as I haveall the materials on hand already, plus I have done projects in that way before ( a BC-304 that won Bronze at WF in '08) plus I think its neat seeing the way they go together.... In t...

OK gang....I'm looking at doing a 1:32 scale model of the Mk III Viper as seen in B&C. I'm gauging size off of the Mobius Mk II and assuming an increase of relative size of about 25%, so no reusing bits from that kit. What I'm really concerned about, is how to build the nose? Do I just rough it ...

I think I have the same one.......part of my Legacy Project....she's very battered and abused.....but I'm thinking of doing a light job on her......

What? Its not supposed to be a frosted Starship?

Mix it about 3-1 with Future for a dullcoat

Query....I'm using the decal Film Avlible from Micromark for the Inkjet, and I'm liking it pretty good. BUT, I would like to find something with a bit thinner carrier material for 1:144 aircraft use....I need both clear and white carriers, any suggestions?

Yep....got it from the same place......I use it mainly for .040 styrene, but with a No24 blade in it works just dandy!

Me Too......and Tamiya Spraybombs.....in USEFUL colors.......not Racecar colors.....

I hadn't even thought of pinning the parts. Thanks guys, super idea. I've never used the Aves. Where can I get it and what is it? Robert "Ask and ye shall receive, my son" ~Decals 14:6 Blessed Aves "Seek Aves as the babe seeks the mothers breast, as the river seeks the sea, as the ra...

Lawn an Garden GOOP........Wallace World carries it........I've used it to glue the crank pins onto steam locomotive drivers.......pin for a mechanical joint reinforce with goop for a chemical one....its also a tad flexible......makes it tough.....
