derex3592 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Can't say this was a very happy moment yesterday......you know..I knew trying these old Ban Dai kits was gonna be hard as they SUCK ASS compared to modern kits, but I was holding out hope that I could manage it....apparently not. Cheap P.O.S. plastic..and painting it has been a nightmare... Oh well....here's hoping at some point Toynami releases a 1:100 Glaug. No hope for this one I don't think...I officially give up. Onwards and upwards to my Moebious Galactica! Edited December 18, 2011 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just installed the LED lighting kit to my Moebius Galactica & some PE parts, overall its looks awesome but still have some gaps to fill and detailing! Great way to spend a Snowy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 started on my Galactica kit last night. What a great kit! pratically had all the sub assemblies built in 4 hrs..decided to add some of my leftover SDF-1 photoetch parts to the totally plane interior of where the landing bays retract into..just to give a little detail in that area..looks good! Will post a pic later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Yeh, for sure. Saved myself $25 bucks on the ones they make for it...and I prob would screw those up anyways... here's my solution...once it's painted and i do a wash over it, should do the job.

electric indigo Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Looks cool. Paint the interior in a darker tone than the rest of the ship and you're done. I highly recommend eliminating that nasty gap where the insets meet the hull parts with putty as it will jump right into your eye otherwise.

derex3592 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 already on that. noticed it when I test fitted the parts. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm not impressed by the quality of the decals, they're pretty stiff and immune to my decal softener, so I decided to paint the colonial emblem. Another plus was that I could use pale gold paint there. The emblem is pretty shattered by the panel trenches, but it's enough that something's there. Also, big city lights on the lower decks: They give a nice sense of scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesar Enrique Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Nice 505thAirborne, you added LEDs to your space ship, I also added micro LEDs to the VF-1J Battroid 1/72, wich I am finishing right now. Here´s a test : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Thanks Cesar! The LED's were not as hard as thought they would be to install, its looks awesome at night all lit up! And might I say your VF-1J is one of the best looking 1/72's I've seen in a long time and LED's really make it superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Cesar, just out of interested where you put the batteries for the LED's on the 1/72, they look great. Hands up who's gonna be gluing and painting come Christmas day when T.V gets boring and everyone else falls asleep ?

505thAirborne Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Photoetch BSG fun on Xmas day! ..... ps...those two runway decals suck to get down right.... I wondered how those PE parts were to be used. And yes the runway decals are pretty bad. On my decal sheet the Starboard landing bay was ok, but the Port bay with the museum windows cracked and ripped. I had to get creative.

derex3592 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 yeeehhhh.....upon reflection, the girders seemed like a cool idea but the fact is, I should have listened to Electric Indigo and not bothered. Lot of work for ZERO effect. Can't see em. At all. Maybe if you light it. Oh well, good practice folding PE parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
