Congratulations, Barry!

A ship with lots of personality. Amazing plasticard work: you have created a very interesting ship from an ugly one .

Are you going to paint some reflections in the cockpit glass?

Can't believe I hadn't looked through this thread before!

Some awesome work.

I like the jumpmaster conversion but favourite is definitely the

Looking forward to seeing the YT 1930

Barry,

Every time I open one of your threads I am stunned! Every piece surpasses the one before it. This one is absolutely gorgeous! Bravo!

Only just noticed something with the paint on the highlights - are those toy car tyres at the front of the engine nacelles ?

All the best, Barry.

Yes Ian....you guessed right......again !

All the best, Barry.

Ah, what it must be to have such a plethora of parts! Do you have a separate room just for your "junkyard" ?

Took a little longer than Expected as I trapped a Nerve in my neck......still painfull !

but the Physio is working wonders, now time to post these and get on with finishing the FIRESPRAY

HA HA Well.........Nearly yes. I have . well close on 200 kits of various genres's.

mostly WWII Aircraft Kits .

But I never throw anything away and have Box's all labelled up with various parts.

sometimes I buy Kits just to pinch the parts from for kit bashing.

Hope you make a full recovery!

Part of my right hand is still numb after trapping a nerve in my neck over 6mths ago - the pain in the first few days was bad, but the frustration of still not having full control is almost worse!

Added more Blue Crystals for the engine glow......think I have done this in all of my custom builds now.

seems to work well enough when they glint in the light, and a **** of a lot easier then adding LED'S !

Yes I have had a few issues with Nerve damage in my back and Arms.

I use to Be a PROP for a local Rugby team. the Scrum Collapsed and the result of everyone coming down on me was two popped lower Vertebrae.

few years later I was then in a Head on car Crash which gave me upper back and arms nerve damage......which Ended my Rugby Career, Very Annoying.

I have seen a few physios over the years and they have all worked magic on my back and Arms.

They are life savers !

So I know what your going through Ian, Hope you get better soon My freind.

All the best,

Barry.

I notice that some of us are worn out. Same here; my back and shoulders, and left wrist all have issues. It is funny, now that I have a nice monthly toy budget in my middle ages, I am half dead (Lol!... Nah).

Long gone are the days of being happily hunched over an art desk for eighteen hours.

It takes extra time now to make these wonderful toy projects... dunnit gang?

...soon...

Ha Ha yes BOSS your right........cant stay at the desk any more for as long as I want !

even less so at the moment with this bloody annoying trapped Nerve

As I now want to get this finished..........

All the best Joe,

Barry.

I'm good for about three to six hours... depending.

Dat Firespray is a Dam-monster Brother... WHEW!!!

Cheers Joe.

Yea The Firespray has been kind of left to the side while I had fun with other builds.

But now im GOING TO FINISH IT !

Not touching anything else until this one is done......well, Other than a Turning a Khiraxz into a Fire Fox Cobra needs a new ride.

But my concentration is now the Firespray, Haven't decided on colour yet, thinking about Klingon Bird of Prey......Green with red accents on the wings.

Got to finish the build first, four more smaller wings around the outer carapace and more surface detail.

More pics soon.

All the best, Barry.

Green, black, and gold'ish would be cool. Green Dragoon-style.

Add some red & white Mando icons too, and it will be wonderful...

Jango color scheme would look awesome, even if it is a bit vanilla.

Cheers Chaps, Ill come up with something once I get to that stage.

got to finish the thing first.....its been lingering on my desk now for two long.

although Im now building another model, this one is small enough not to get in the way

This is a Short cut to my Z95 VIPER build, at this moment in time I need to re-host all of the images.

I will get round to it shortly.

Regards,

Barry.

This is so impressive. I wish I had this skill....
