  1. So this build log will certainly be different.   For years now, my Syren and Triton builds have been gathering cobwebs, and also my Nina, which I ironically undertook in order to have at least one fully complete model in my display case.   When I was asked to create a ship in a bottle, it was with some hesitation that I undertook the project.  I did it since it was to be an extremely small model out of card.  How long could it take, right? 😏

     

    I should have created a log here, but since the build would be so quick, it felt like a log would be a bit superficial so I decided to take video of the project instead.  

     

    Now that the project is done, I'm thinking it would look far, far better with weathering.  If I weather the model, I'll post pics as normal.  Overall, this was really a fun little project.

     

    For those wondering, I should actually be able to make progress in the "normal" shipyard in a few months!

    Their model is exquisitely detailed and goes way beyond what Moebius did with their 1/144 kit. The ART MASTER 3D model comes fully assembled and painted by Japanese artist. It measures 5 feet 4 long and is a replica at the scale of 1/10th of the original prop created by Kubrick and his team. The price is way crazy at more than $14,300 each plus an additional $650 shipping fees. Unfortunately, even if you had the money, the list of orders is already closed.

     

     

    14k!?!? Well.... If anyone would still like one of these, I'll go ahead and build one with this level of detail for only 10k. :D

    OK, I'll be the party pooper here and take the heat for whispering that some of the fuselage insignia are up side down.

    Bunker gear on.

    RGL, a wonderful job on the build and log.

    I wish we could have a little microphone in front of Greg right when he reads about this. lol.

     special earphones for the TV and...........:unsure:

     

    Do you wear hearing aids by any chance or need to get them?  I've needed them for years, and am finally going to get them (invisible, in-ear canal).  Apparently, they can also be configured to receive input from the TV...

    I have a number of decal options for the Mud Hen, including IDF markings, Mountain Home markings (the ones that carry the "remember 9-11 twin towers graphics),

     

    I live "close" to Mountain Home and love watching the flights come in.  I'm also able to see a lot of A-10's since the National Guard base is also close by.

    . All it consists of is a Ace Of Spades over The King OF Diamonds. Take a picture of a real pair of cards and print them out at the right size and apply them on the nose.  

    Voila!  That would be perfect for decal paper, once you did test prints on "normal" paper.  If memory serves, I purchased a couple of sheets from my local hobby store (the sheets came in white or clear), and I was able to print them with my inkjet printer.  It seems like a follow-up protective coating just needed to be applied afterwards so the ink didn't run.
