She's lookin' pretty mean in that last pic

Must be massive! its looking good

 

[vikingBerserker]

This is going to be sweet!

Some shots of the putty work, Used some gap filler along the way. This is the most time ive ever spent filling in seams / gaps, I dont think I will find it that difficult when I go back to making normal sized models!

LOL. 1/48 is normal for me. 1/72 is too small for me.

 

[Maglar]

I like 1/72, and normal to me is 1/48 singe engine fighters and such... this kit is just a beast man, therefore I can't call it normal!

Maglar,

Looks fantastic...but 2x2 isn't a dio..it is a city block!!!

Can't wait to see more.

Glad to have you back on board Darryl! Really no progress for tonight, fingers hurt from sanding and I was out for a bit. Most likely will be putting on the stabilizers tomorrow then slaving more hours filling those in.. I believe I have become OCD with gaps / seams.

Dr. Wojtek, what is your prescription for this illness?

 

[vikingBerserker]

This is going to be great!

 

[snafud1]

The way you are going about it though, it is going to be SHARP! Trust me, you'll be proud of the beast when you're done.

 

[109ROAMING]

Nice work!

 

[Wayne Little]

Coming along nicely mate!

 

[Maglar]

Stabilizers on and puttied, the final and last thing for puttying will be the rear gun cover thing. I will also be checking all the seams then to the paint shop!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very nice!

 

[Wayne Little]

Looking the part now...!

 

[109ROAMING]

That is gonna be one real impressive model when its done mate! 8)

 

[Maglar]

First coat of gloss black for the Chrome Alclad. It is a bit patchy but I wasn't going to soak it in gloss black and wait a week for the tar to dry! But remember, light reflecting off gloss sometimes makes it looks like there isnt paint in a certain place when there really is, I covered all of it..

Also this model is so big I have nothing as big to put a cover over it

 

[Crunch]

I'll bet the boss loves having it on the dining table! (Good looking table, too! )

That is seriously big though, and looking good so far too!

 

[Maglar]

A nice table that it is! I moved it to the shower seeing as it will have the least dust in the house.. Will probably spray another coat on tomorrow, gotta let this dry first though. I already see little hairs and crap on it, more sanding and removal, I want to start airbrushing in a air bubble!!

 

[Tony Hill]

Looking great mate. Can't wait to see the Alu start to go on
