That is great news. Can't wait to see the final product. Idea on a sales price?

Nice. No problem with the 50 cal. I have a few extras in my spare parts box.

I have one finished bury somewhere in this thread. Make sure you sand that seem between the halves. It took me about 3 days to remove them.

Beautiful.

Agreed. Nice to see you back in action.

Good question.

The 1/100 gluag booster was not mastered by John.

I have started one as well, but it is on hold right now because I'm getting other models ready for Tigerfest, next weekend, and Wonderfest in May.

Nice Starfighters.

Recieved mine today.

Very nicely done. I like want you did with the engine bells.

Awesome work.

Ha, Ha, Ha.

Can't wait to see it in 1/72.

Received my kits today.

Agreed.

I postesd the pics in the workbench section by mistake instead of here. You can see them on page 40. My bad.

Damn, your right. I will post look here in the 1/320 thread.

Here are the pictures I promised. You can see in the one picture the glaug, valkyrie, and battloid are not really to scale. I added the one pic with the VC-33 for the size comparison. The VC-33 is 1/200. Nice Heavy Melder. I just started painting a 1/5000 Empire Battleship from Alba Create.

I have a few of the 1st and 2nd sets. The one I'm still looking for is the 3rd set. That one has the phalanx in it. The detail is alright for plastic for that size from that time. I like the Regults and the Tomahawks myself. I have painted one Tomahawk and will post a picture tomorrow once my camera battery is charged. I'm looking at repainting it and adding some more details now that my skill has improved over the years. My plan is to use them in a diorama with 1/285th micro armor. The 1/350 carrier is an interesting idea.

Nice work ron. Here is a short video of the quelamitz firing. Firing.MOV

Testors is not bad. Whether the thinning ratio is the same I'm not certain. I usually do a lot of spray testing to see how it comes out. I started using Floquil on some models and it seems to do well. For a high gloss I usually go with Future myself. When setting the decals I use setting solution and when dried I spray on a dull coat or gloss depending on what I am looking for. Since it sounds like you have someone else doing it, he probably has his own favorites.

I finished this 2 weeks ago. I built the quelamitz with the bow gun open and added an led for light. I have tried to edit the video and have not been successful in shrinking it down under 10mb. The video is in mp4 format. Any suggestions on editing? Here are some pictures instead. The light kit is for the Klingon Bird of Prey that is for sale on Starhsipmodeler. It can be found under Madman Lighting if interested.

Thanks Miriya and Ghadrack. I do recommend when making the sprue spines to make enough spares. I'm working on the lighting now. I found a lighting kit that will work and I'm looking for a wire wrap tool. I'm also thinking about trying foil to added to the affect. I will experiment.

Here is the finished producted. I added a painted 1/5000 Salan Scout for size comparsion. I will be working on two more, one with the main gun open in green and another one in brown. Enjoy.
