Spaceship with a difference

[Madhatter]

Well, some of you might guess, but a lot of people won't!

This is my last build for the year and my most fun one. Completely out of the box with kit supplied lighting and so on. The only thing it didn't do was build itself

The kits is quite basic at it's core, but highly detailed. Kind of in the same vein as Bandai in terms of how it goes together (not a drop of glue required). Ingenious lighting system which is a tad tricky to get to in certain areas, and the center drive thing with the orange light was quite confusing initially, but I got there in the end

All painted in Gunze and Tamiya metallics. The kit says paint it (yawwwwwn) grey but there was no way in hell I was doing that. I decided I would go for a nod to Gundam here and try something a little different. I like it myself and so does my son who is insisting he gets it when I die. Talk about planning ahead..... geez

Enough words, time to give you what you came here for - pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even the stand lights up!

 

Well, that's all the pics. I hope they brought a small sliver of enjoyment or inspiration to your day. I had a lot of fun with this one and if you're in the market for a subject that will turn some heads, I would suggest getting this kit. You don't even need to know a single thing about electronics to make it look good as its all taken care of for you

As always, thanks for stopping by and having a look

[MeatMan]

Very nicely done! I'm a space/sci fi fan so its nice to see something like this.

[Madhatter]

thanks guys - I'm glad you can appreciate the difference in subject matter

Dennis, if you haven't seen it, I have a rather long and on going Star Destroyer build  in the WIP section which could keep you entertained for 5 minutes. That's complicated - where as this is nice and simple - like me

Great looking airbrush, I mean spaceship. ? Well done!

[Lucius Molchany]

Airbrush spaceship.. definitely thinking outside of the box!

[peteski]

Well done! Makes me want to build that one too.
I seem to recall some time ago someone else on this forum has built one of these.  I don't recall that one being illuminated.

Awesome job on this, the paint is fantastic!

[Madhatter]

thank you guys - much appreciated.  Definitely build one if you want something that has no wings or wheels and is a tad left of center
