  1. Details look great and seem to have a function as well. Nicely done!
  2. Great work! I really appreciate the cleanness of Trek builds. In many ways it is harder to pull off and get right than weathered stuff
  3. Cool concept and looks like your off to a great start Looking forward to how it turns out
  4. Wow that is some amazing detail. it really comes together with paint and I would never guess it was actually as small as it is
  5. That looks like a pain to decal. You did a great job though
  6. Congrats, I'd be interested in seeing it The 2199 kits are pretty awesome. They have so much stuff to build them in alternate landing configuration, or in flight, bomb bays open, different armament load outs etc... They did make a 1/350 Yamato prior to the 2199 series so I have seen 1/350 Cosmo Zeros and Black Tigers. Very expensive now though. Could also try shapeways maybe?
  7. Using some left over decals I was able to get some marking in it. I also did some more scribing of panels lines. Although I think I might have o repaint part of the area in the arrow on the right side of the tail fin and rescribe. I used a scribing tool to start with, and it left way too wide of a line compared to the rest which I did with an exacto Should be an easy fix, Basically just brush paint the panel line with thinned down paint, then go back over with the xacto You can see here where I started then stopped after realizing it was way too th
  8. Thanks everyone! As far as the Yellow, I used Tamiya paints. I think it is Lemon Yellow (or maybe Flat yellow) mixed with just a little bit Flat Red. (I can confirm the exact yellow color when I get home) I did add a layer of Tamiya Deck Tan Mixed with Flat White (left over batch from painting my A-Wing) as a base layer over the black primer before I sprayed the yellow I find if I try spraying yellow directly on a black base coast, it sometimes can take forever to build up enough coats Even when hand painting gaming miniatures and such
  9. thanks both of you for the kinds words
  10. Got a chance to get some painting done I still have to do some touchup in a few areas as well as paint the underside (white/light grey) Also will be adding a little bit of weathering and some decals but here is where it is at..
  11. thanks guys For decals, I am hoping that between the Bandai 1/72 Rogue One X-Wing and the other Bandai 1/72 Cosmo Zero and Falcon kits as well as other 1/1000 2199 kits plus the 1/72 FA-18C kit I have there will be enough left over decals left over to cobble together markings for this I know I have some Cosmo Navy markings as well as tons of "No Step" markings and numeric markings Plus from the X-wing kit I have some intake warning markers that I did not use since I did Red Leader like the ILM studio model which had none of that stuff
  12. Kind of a lurker here for a while, so I figured it was time to get more involved 😀 I love the aircraft designs from Space Battleship Yamato/Starblazers and have been building stuff from the 2199 series. however, the Black Tiger design morphed into the Cosmo Falcon so it obviously missing from the lineup of 1/72 fighter kits. There was an old kit that Bandai made. This is the 1/70 scale version. However it is as basic as basic can be. Nothing like the more detailed 1/100 Ex version that came out later The appeal here was having a kit close to 1/72 scale
  13. I think my favorite aspect of your work is that the greeblies look like they have a purpose and are functional in some way rather than just randomly planted on. They also don't ruin the scale of things
  14. I can;t see the video, but those pics are excellent!
  15. You are the king of greeblifying capital ships! Those tiny details are prefect to give a bigger sense of scale
  16. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this kit!
  17. Wow, all those added details really make a difference, especially in helping convey a sense of scale it reminds me of how the Yukikaze looks up close vs the smooth almost detail less hull of the models I would really like to spend more time detailing them
  18. Amazing stuff! Like the other Yamato series stuff you have done, those added details really help with a sense of scale Now I wish I didn't just build mine out of the box
  19. Fantastic work with the engine nozzle
