Yes, ran into that with this one, the bow and stern don't touch their blocks. Oh well.

Break out the bourbon (don't mind if I do!), she's done! Just a few quick shots for now, I'll do more extensive ones later and send them in for the gallery.

Kept her mostly simple, only minimal weathering, simplified the rigging somewhat, and only a few figures to add a sense of scale and a little color. Also for color I added some of the 1/350th scale gas cylinders from L'Arsenal. I also painted up a crate from the Niko accessory set, but even the smallest one was too big for this one. The ensign (the flag, not one of the little dudes) is the vinyl adhesive one from the kit, stuck to thin foil. It turned out okay, but I'll be going back to water transfer decals on foil for the next build.

And on to that next build. I have a sci-fi subject to finish for a client, maybe a little work on the 1/200 scratch build that's nearly there, and then it's on to Merit's CV-5.

Thanks, guys. I'm really happy how she turned out even though I forced myself not to go overboard on aftermarket. These Dragon kits are fantastic. I really hope they get back into the ship business, I'd love to see that Gyatt, Atlanta, and other subjects.

I had an odd feeling last night, not rushing to finish my entry for MosquitoCon up until the last minute. So unlike me...
