My Colonial Movers Saga...

[LeeS]

Here's an update, things are moving along now, thanks to JAWS and Wombat! I've removed some parts I had used substitues for, finished the containers and detailed the center section finally! Last time I had any real progress was in 2004! I have a few new parts on the way from Shadowknight and updated custom decals from JT Graphics, so in a few weeks the final pieces will be here.

There's also a couple of surprises I'm working on :-)

Finally have a casting from the Aurora M8, it's an important part as it's extremely visible. Here's what I scratched based on DVD frame grabs. Don't think I did too bad.


Something strange has happened to both my 'core' tubes. They have cracked in strange ways. Neither has been drilled, the magnets are glued on. Both are about 6 years old and I glued the magnets on over a month ago. Then a couple of days ago when I started work on them again one started to do this. Then the other. It's very strange why. Hopefully they stop and don't fall apart, but you can see some little cracks just starting in the middle of nowhere.


Center section is done!


And the containers have some colour (color in the US) The red might be too bright, but there's ALOT of weathering to go on them.
