Submarine Kitbash Spaceship part 5

 Grey primer - done. 

The engine bells are wrapped in cling film to mask them off.











A commenter on facebook thought the "spare tire" nurnie is too obviously what it is. It was a part I had that perfectly fit the hole I had to fill. I hoped that the grey primer would be sufficient to disguise it but perhaps not. A little more work will be required here.






Thanks for looking.

Submarine Kitbash Spaceship part 4

I believe I have completed the surface detailing phase of the project. 

The plain white panels are mostly cut from 0.5mm styrene sheet.

The rest is a lot of flat panel kit parts and a few bits of evergreen textured sheet..











Next step grey primer.

Thanks for looking.

Submarine Kitbash Spaceship Part 3

I added a strip around the back edge to give the rear bulkhead a bit of an inset.



The rear bulkhead was then fully detailed out, quite a fiddly process as I had already glued the engine bells in place.





I then moved on to detailing the lower hull at the front.



The large grey part with a round shape with black strip is the loading door. It would open and become a ramp. Its upside down in the picture below.



I am hoping to get this model finished for WASMEx 2026 which is on the 8th and 9th of August and fast approaching. I have a week off work prior to the show in order to to finish up. I still have a lot to do and need to get cracking.

Thanks for Looking.

More soon...
