Lyle I've been following this and I am amazed at how well you're doing on this! Especially given the parts count! Way to go!

There are rumours that Lyle's ship lost one of its containers...

Not much to tell about...hull painted, but needs some touch up, accommodation block needs a lot ...sprayed Tamiya Insignia white over this Krylon stuff and it crinkled up pretty bad. removed it and primed with Duplicolor. During all that a few of the tiny bits came away, so those have to be replaced.

I had had some okay results...it seems it liked the Mission Models paint. The black on the hull is Krylon.

Shame about the paint issues Lyle, but that hull looks really good!
