I need to get this one ready for markings and weathering…

Carlos - I really dig this build. I especially like your treatment of the stowage on the left side and front of the vehicle. Very convincing.
I might suggest painting all of the vision blocks and the framework around them sand again. That’s not easy to be precise on at our age. Then you can cut pieces of confetti exactly the right size and glue them in. Guaranteed 1000% better appearance.

Thanks guys for looking in and your feedback!

18, I will go back and touch up the areas around the vision blocks when they’re all done. I still need to do another layer or two of the translucent paint. I found it at a Gaming store. You put down the black base, then overcoat with this stuff. Depending upon your viewing angle, it has the reddish purple look of the anti laser coating.

I hear ya about the age thing. Too much caffeine nowadays and my hands let me know…

That’s looking great.

@18bravo, No worries. Even after I’m officially “done”, I tend to find or come up with something to add after the fact… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

@mech, thank you. This is pretty much turning out as envisioned…:crossed_fingers:t3:
