Just completed Issue 107. Starting to look like a really detailed behemoth. :-)

This is such an epic model build.

Oz builders have finally finished the hull. Almost at the end now. :-)

Latest Pics added of my build, plus also a pic of the paint, washes and weathering kits I use to create the weathered effect.

Sorry no smoke coming from the stack. That would be modelling skill level “Platinum”.

I’m only still learning by trial and error. Current skill level “Premium Economy” :-)

First attempt at rigging. Going surprisingly well... and relatively simple.

Using ship lycra rigging thread.
