I could send human hair through the mail, yeah, my ticket to fame! So, I did manage to finish the Nochri attachment on the 'Gal, reminding myself why I don't like super glue and fragile resin parts.  IMG_1811 by Russel Baer, on Flickr And while I was rummaging around in the piles of parts I'm using for these two, I found the sheet of PE that Legends includes in the "Gal conversion I'm pulling parts from, and saw the lovely bustle rack floor, and decided to hack out the horrid Academy part and use some nice PE instead. The fit was pretty close, with the exception of where the two mmiddle supports go, which I may change later.

Thanks John. I've always wondered if there was a use for the junk that comes out of an electric shaver...... So here's a shot of the glacis armor with primer. I think it's gonna work.  IMG_2206 by Russel Baer, on Flickr And a couple of shots of the Batash after some of the skirt hanger stuff is on:  IMG_2205 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_2204 by Russel Baer, on Flickr And the Gal, with some hardware on the hull:  IMG_2203 by Russel Baer, on Flickr My stash of resin is dwindling, slowly but surely. |

Having a place to put that resin is great, however! Nice work!!

Thaks guys. I found some more AM today (really!) so the Batash hull got some DEF fender braces and mud flaps, and a piece of Dragon fender cuz I cut crooked:  IMG_2207 by Russel Baer, on Flickr And the hull stowage boxes on the same hull:  IMG_2209 by Russel Baer, on Flickr They're green because they're Academy, and fit right on the Esci hull. I liked them because they have better detail than the Esci parts, and I could find them right away. Then, some bits on the 'Gal hull and turret:  IMG_2208 by Russel Baer, on Flickr Gun tubes:  IMG_2210 by Russel Baer, on Flickr And just to see what it looked like:  IMG_2211 by Russel Baer, on Flickr It would be a lot of work, but I'm tempted. I still have a metric ton of AM stuff, and plenty of kit parts to build up at least three more. |
