StarshipBuilder's CR Galactica Build #2

[LastBattlestar]

I only just saw this thread- very informative. I've been airbrushing the APC tonight in my spare bedroom-converted-to-hobby room and wish that I could set up shop properly with spray booth! I just open the outside door to the balcony and point the fan out. It draws quite a bit of paint fumes/dust out, but what else can I do with a rental property? The worst I experience are rattle cans, acrylic paints, CA, resin dust and solder, so I throw on a filter mask for the rattle cans, dust and soldering. Sometimes.

The Gal head looks really sharp Charles, nice job. I hear you on the eye boxes: they are incredibly hard to build in. I still didn't get mine quite right (the rear walls don't lean out enough), but was surprised at the difficulty. Good idea on the lid/lighting module. I'm not planning the lighting stuff yet, but did envisage a plug-in harness for it. The engineering challenges are immense on this project and it's cool to see the different ways we all tackle them for the same end result.

BTW, nice to see your conversion to styrene. It's my absolute favourite material. I just love building things from those big, virgin white sheets!
