Wow, that is a lot going on! I say you did just fine painting the figures. The whole dang thing looks fantastic!

Looks awesome so far. Sorry I can't help with the Tamiya fit question. Hopefully someone can.

That looks so good! The interior color looks great too. I have some wires and a distributor to send.

O...M...G! I FINALLY got the Phalanx to print successfully. Trial after trial, test after test, redesign after redesign, it finally is OK enough that I will use them. The trash bin has several of my tests, and I kept a few that were close in case I could never get a successful print. This is...

Thanks guys! I was afraid y'all would think I had caved to pressure LOL. It WAS a cool idea, and he did say please :)

Ok, so, my buddy, Ray; Retired Army, tank commander M1A1, special forces squad leader, Desert Storm veteran, etc. Was finally shot enough times that the army got tired of patching him up and retired him. After retirement he installed and maintained Phalanx systems for the Navy and recently told...

I gave made a little progress finally, but still have not successfully printed the Phalanx. I am afraid I will need to simplify the design for it to work. I added the straps to the life rafts. I cut 60 pieces of 3/8" long .1" lead wire and smooshed it flat, then superglued it around the raft...

So cool. Build the model AND get paid?! Win win!

Your skill level continues to impress! I love this build my friend.

Dude, ... :notworthy

Good lord man! How is this possible? This entire build has been pure sorcery, but how did you make such perfect railings and ladders?

None of them have a shield, no matter what size or where they are, so I am adding a piece of white styrene to the tops of what I think are the pyro lockers. Thanks for the advice! So, backing up yet again, in the immortal words of Mick Jagger, I cain't get no satisfaction, no matter how I...

Thank you Paul! I will fix the lockers. How do I know which are pyro lockers vs a regular locker?

I see the one you mean. An easy fix :sawall

Cool! It is, so I did it right :Drinks:

The flag boxes are there and I left them open. I will run rigging from the yardarm into the boxes. I am not sure what the bitt caps are though; everything has a flat top of punched metal so I am not sure what you want me to sand! For what it's worth, the loading boom was a severe PITA! But...

So I am nit-picking at this stage, doing a lot of little things. I added doors to the cabinets ...which I would have done way earlier if I knew I was going to do it LOL. The messed up paint splotcg in the first photo is what super glue remover does to paint. Live and learn, or remember. I...

That's what struck me as well. If I had my MO to do over I would build it quite differently and finishing difficult part BEFORE adding them. Ahhh, experience. Way to think ahead Ian!

Yes, let's call him Jefferson!

Here ya go. It is an XP finder spaceship!
