been working on this for the last 3 weeks, got it done just in time for the competition (1AM this morning) i don't think i did to bad , got 3rd in the Sci-Fi spaceship category.
Congratulations, well deserved prize! Looks like the first finished Betty ever! I can see some minor differences in the hydraulic system, but who cares, this is great work and we need more photos. I like it!
OK so you wanted more pictures so here they are. @Vger1981 - Yes there are some differences in the hydraulics, one I couldn't get the bottom ones on because i had already glued the wing/engines on i will be going back and putting those on when i can ,and the top set are not quite right i set the arm angle wrong during assembly so i had to fudge it a little to make it look right. all in all a great little ship. i am not sure what the final scale of it was since i had to reduce it a little to fit the paper i used if i had to guess maybe 1/150.
thanks for the ideas, but i think i want to do something different than the normal stuff around here maybe a large scale Gundam or something from Babylon 5 (Star Fury or Thunderbolt?)
Do one of Lepaj's Star Fury's or Thunderbolts. Those are awesome! It took me a while to find this site. Download everything as when sites start shifting around, they soon disappear!! These models are of exceptional quality and not for beginners.
already have most of these, but there are a few new ones i dont have YAY i think i am going to do the Thunderbolt, i have always loved the design of it. i will probably upscale it a little bit to make it a bit easier on the hands. will start it soon and do a build thread to go along with it.
@zathros, thanks for the links i will definitely grab the ones i was missing.
