    @MechTech - Loving all the brass work! In Titanic land over here, small progress has been made over the weekend...and I do mean small. The forward hatch cover original kit part wasn't accurate whatsoever, so I scratch built one out of styrene. It's supposed to be slightly convex, so I bent the styrene part over a paint brush handle then puttied up the holes on each end once I glued it in place. Then added tiny port holes and hatch covers. I included a digital rendering from a guy on FB who if you have any interest in Titanic, you should check it out, he does amazing work. Also got a job I had been dreading done, masking and painting the framework of the two grand staircase dome skylights. They came out pretty much perfect! Phew! And speaking of grand staircase domes, I hit the 1st one with a few coats of Flory's Dark Dirt wash and carefully wiped away once dry. you can just see the details on it now. In the end hopefully a little light will shine up through it from the LED's in the hull. Pressing on!

    I REALLY want to love the EXO-6 Star Trek stuff, but the faces, the eyes on most of them just aren't quite...."there" yet. I mean, they're close! But not close enough.

    @Lolicon - Do you disassemble and paint or just mask off everything and airbrush the gear white? Do you primer it first and do you use acrylic, enamel or lacquer white paint? Cauuuuse whatever you are doing...it makes a world of difference!!!

    @Benson13 Can't wait to see it brother! It's the best feeling in the world setting up the "toy room" when you move into a new place!

    And now, if you guys/mods will permit me, I wanted to share just a few quick pics of my wife's and my trip down to Galveston / Houston last weekend! The point is that since I'm "ship building" now, this kinda goes along with the theme. We sailed on the 1877 Tall Ship "Elissa"! 6 hours trip. One of only 3 tall ships left in the world that sails! It was pretty darn cool! Also on the way back we stopped by NASA! I'll keep my comments to myself about how NOT efficiently run this place is (boooo big government run stuff) and just share the pics since I'm going to be building a 1/144 model of the Saturn 5 someday soon! There was a 3D printed Saturn 5 that stood about 6 feet tall, but NOTHING compares to the REAL THING!! WOW! I figured all of us space guys around here would like these!

    Also, I finally got an old friend back up on a new stand! The old Flightpose stand finally stress cracked and she was listing lazily the left...LOL. Family Guy Star Wars joke there... New stand from Caliber Wings is much more sturdy! Now I know the Bandai Falcon 1/72 Perfect Grade Falcon is better, but 6 months of hard work, sweat and tears went into my Finemolds one years ago and I still love it! I especially love I didn't pay that Bandai price tag! $$$

    UPDATES on things! Titanic is coming along...slowly...trying to deal with all the tiny fiddly bits and get every single part sanded, puttied, painted and ready to put on the ship eventually. That in itself is a true mission just keeping up with all of it! Sooo many tiny parts. Cranes are DONE though! Stretchy E-Z Line for the WIN! Here's just a few pics....
