[quote="sgtryan13"]Well here is my latest, the Colonial One presidential ship from the new Battlestar Galactica series in 1/350. I loved the lines of this ship the moment I saw it on the series and always wanted a model of her, so I picked up the Mobius model as soon as it came out. My original intention was to build this to the same standards I build my ships, just as a challenge to myself to see if I could compete with the serious sci-fi builders at a competition. Well, due to my personal life being in the dumps the past few months, I had lost my modeling mojo. I decided I needed a quick project to try to get me back into the groove, and not feeling like buying another kit, I figured I would just tackle this one. The kit is really well detailed and the fit is great. There is a nasty seam where the top section meets the main hull parts, and it will be very difficult to fill and sand. I took the easy route and just added a length of solder wire to cover the seam and look like some sort of external piping on the ship. The decals go on great, but the lighter blue one is a little off in it's cut for the windows, so some trimming and repositioning is necessary. the dark blue decal around the bridge and bubble is too short by almost 1/4" leaving a huge void at the back of the bubble where the 2 sides meet. I was able to blend a mix of French blue and insignia blue to paint in this void. I experimented with some new (to me) techniques for making metallic surfaces look burnt/heat damaged, and I like the results so far. I wanted to model her as I think she would have seemed late in the show, where she had done tons of FTL jumps, entered atmospheres, spent time on the ground, etc, so I weathered her a little heavy with oils and pastels. I had fun with this one, and was able to complete it in a couple of days. I went for a quick build that was completed easily, so there are plenty of flaws in it, some nasty seams in the engine areas were simply left alone, so don't expect to see this one winning any awards any time soon, but that is ok. I wanted something quick but more importantly FUN, and this build was exactly that, hopefully it gets me back on track with the Lincoln.

Re: not a ship

Very nice work.

On the subject of 3D prints, I've just taken delivery of a new 3D kit of a somewhat larger subject. I don't know how well know it is outside of the UK but, in the late 70s we had a British answer to Star Trek in the form of Blakes 7. Our hero's flew a ship called the Liberator and, despite me being a huge Trek fan I still think, to this day, that it is the best sci-fi starship design of all time.

At 3 feet long, the kit is the same size as the original filming miniature.

One of the 3 'nacelles' temporarily fitted:

and in comparison to the 1/200 Iowa that is now back on my work bench:

Re: not a ship

Almost a year since this thread had some new life, so here are a bunch of 3d printed figures I painted for our Dorks (dungeons) & Dragons game! Edit, not sure why half the pics are sideways here, they aren't that way on my computer...

Re: not a ship

This is the last completed project from my day job. This model is typical of what we do: large scale acrylic structures with computer controlled lighting. Scales vary wildly, depending on the size of the building, but this one was 1/96th. My main contribution to the project was the many pieces of furniture, mostly drawn in Rhinoceros v7 and printed on our Epax and Formlabs 3 printers, with some saw and laser work where appropriate.

Trumpeter's 1S91 SURN KUB radar, known to us Cold War vets as the STRAIGHT FLUSH radar for the SA-6 GAINFUL missile system. Trumpeter released the SA-6 TEL several years ago.

I always forget this thread is here. Over the past month I've finished the following two Bandai 1/72nd scale kits, the B-Wing (limited release Comic Con edition) and the X-Wing, finished as Wedge's Red 2.

Re: not a ship

Some (space) ships and non-ships. I do have a small fleet of /350 and /700 that I plan to get to, but until then...

The most recent (space) ship to be finished was a Space Battleships Yamato model. Started out as the Yukikazi, but I changed it to the Murasame using the decals from another kit.

Tamiya's 1/48 F4U-1D

The UNCF Kirishima from Yamato 2199.

Tamiya's 1/48 Ki-46 Dinah

The ships of the Iscandar Protectorate Fleet (non-canon Yamato 2199)

The Yamato from 2199, 1/1000

And my redo of the Battlestar Galactica using two Moebius Pegasus models.

@Kelley, I found the image I made a while ago, realizing it might come in handy. It is a mix of Humbrol and Revell, although colors might vary due to weathering but it's basically what I use for all US equipment.

Thanks, Jeroen! This will come in handy! I will probably need to find an alternative to the Revell paints as I don't have them here.
