Thanks for those photos John. No dioramas planned for this one. Just a simple shelf sitter at this point. And of course, I’m not planning on using the kit markings. :wink:

Lovely work so far, Carlos. You make this look easy when it’s not - that’s the sign of greatness.

Well this kit is not overly challenging. It’s not shake and bake, but it’s no “unbuildable dog” either. And if you have a couple of Italeri Crusader builds already under your belt, the experiences make the next ones even easier.

Thank you Stuart. And no, you sure don’t see this kit built online at all. I haven’t seen it built before on any of the sites that I’m on.

super, extra, primo nice! It is looking great.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Since our second 4 hour build session was cut off an hour early, we had a “floater” 1 hour session to take at our own choice. I did mine today, adding some stowage items, then airbrushing on a coat of Mig One Shot Black Primer over everything

So next session will be on May 28 when I finish this thing up…
