Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 03-05-2012 Well folks , I finally got my armature built and welded up for my movers build . I went with dbh's armature concept ( Thanks Doug ) and I think it is going to work superbly !!! I will take a few pics and hopefully post them later on today !! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - dbhs - 03-05-2012 Thats awesome. I can't wait to see it coming together. RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - JAWS - 03-12-2012 Ok Kenny where are the images!!!! Lol! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 03-12-2012 i am having trouble getting the images to upload . pics are taken , just got to figure out what the hell i am doing wrong !! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - Wombat - 03-23-2012 Ok Ken, you've been holding out long enough on this. Let's see where ya at with it mate! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - JAWS - 03-27-2012 bump.... Pictures? RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 03-27-2012 Sorry gents . Got side tracked with starting my salzo viper , some work on the pegasus , and two commission builds .I will get back on this . don't be dissappointed though it is just the armature for the movers so far , still waiting for the 2.5 inch abs pipe and the 1.25 inch abs pipe to arrive . RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 03-29-2012 Some progress pics RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - dbhs - 03-29-2012 Looks great! I thought the pipe armature looked really long but the whole ship when finished is even longer. I haven't gotten that far with mine yet but laid some of the pieces out to get a sense of it. It will be a great display piece. RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - JAWS - 03-29-2012 Yay!!!!!! Looking nice Kenny. Your on the way to a pretty big Galactics collection buddy. RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - Wombat - 04-01-2012 Theres that backbone. RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 04-09-2013 Well aside from these pics here : [attachment=13322] [attachment=13320] [attachment=13321] The rest of my colonial movers build was accomplished in ONE week, to make a hobby show in Shearwater Nova Scotia on the weekend . I finnished the model the day of contest ,with the paint still drying , during the hour and a half drive to the show. It still needs some fine weathering touches but the representation was there . [attachment=13323] [attachment=13324] [attachment=13326] [attachment=13327] [attachment=13329] [attachment=13328] And yes, you keen eyed viewers will notice , that in my hurried attempt to finnish this build and make it in time for the show , I FORGOT to install the arado cockpit canopy !!!! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - dbhs - 04-09-2013 Yeah, and ...? Joking cause I caught you mid post RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - t2sides - 04-09-2013 Outstanding build up Kenny!!! So great to see another rag tag join the fleet!! You've done a great job on this, love the weathering, and the colors look FABULOUS!! Congrats (ohh, and like Doug said... Yeah, and...?) RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 04-09-2013 Thanks for the kind words Sean . The Movers took third in sci fi , and my salzo viper took third in the Masters category . RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - t2sides - 04-10-2013 Awesome!! Congrats and well deserved!!! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - dbhs - 04-10-2013 Great job Kenny!!! Wow, a week. I bet that's faster than the original went together. Congrats on the awards too. It looks great and will be a nice addition to your collection. How do you deal with moving it around? Are the containers removable? RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 04-10-2013 Thanks Doug ! They are spot glued with square tubing for now . Like I said earlier ,this was rushed to make a show . Plans are to remove the trailers and build some sort of magnet system like you did with yours . I am still trying to figure out the right highth that the trailers are supposed to sit above the tubing ? RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - JAWS - 04-10-2013 WOW Kenny!!! That looks sensational! Where did you get all the other parts from? Are they all kit parts? Man that looks great. Jelous........ RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 04-10-2013 Thank you Jase . All kit parts except for one casted ammo box from the 88mm flak . The front hummel piece on the command module is scratched substitute as well as the piece in back of all the rail gun pieces . The mounting cap s are temp substitutes as well ,until I get the proper ones . They are held in place with modeling clay stuffed into the hex nuts that are welded on the armature. RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - JAWS - 04-11-2013 I have heaps of spares of the centre caps if you need them. Can also do you the Hummel pieces if you want to replace those. I will send you an email today as I have that stuff you have waited so long for. So we can move forward on that project you were going to do. RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 04-11-2013 That sounds awesome mate !!!!!!!!! I await your email Sir !! RE: Darkimmitators SS Colonial Movers - darkimmitator - 04-16-2013 Bump for that email ,Jase !!!!! hint ,hint , hint !!!!!!!!!
