Managed to get a full ID on the model, save for the actual brain matter so we were able to create a VERY faithful replica.
I made a prototype some months back, as we are still learning the best methods for assembly on this very fragile model, this is my own personal build, which still needs very minor adjustment going forward, but very happy how they are turning out.

I built a studio scale Bespin bi-pod cloud car that I want to post here as my first thread. Not all parts are correct, but pretty close.
I did this as a resin kit, and of course built a copy for myself.

The Japanese Chronicles book was a great help as well! Examining the pictures in this book I found a detail I haven't seen so far in other 223 pod builds. I could't get hold of a picture showing the front end of the 223 pod. I did't want to put the T-34 rim at the front end 'cause the pods do not share parts (except a Plastruct lamp shade) and I cannot imagine that ILM had done that. I'd highly appreciate if anybody could share some ref showing the front end so I can update mine. I included a LED and a reflector in the engine nozzle and tried to keep the weathering to the minimum.

Its been fun, more fun with a model in a long time, as this one took some tinkering to get the tones of the Floquil enamels i have used more or less correct, who's is to say as the ref material on this model conflicts massively.

The ILM table shots show the more or less correct tones and hues, yet the most recent ref changes the models actual tones in a drastic fashion.......mine does attempt to follow this most recent ref, but slight adjustments as not to darken her too much, a happy medium if you like.

Most of the decals, sadly are not correct and one i do need to source from Micromark still, but i was more than happy to apply them, as not to keep the model in mothballs for too much longer, one can obsess too much.....so this was an exercise in getting yet another model completed this year, and some more, much needed painting practice under my belt.

Best Regards.....Lee

Really had fun with this one, she's warped, warty and wonky........ just how it all should be. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Here is my finish scratch built replica of the Cylon Fuel Tanker which I built 7 years ago. I hope you like it.

This is an old Neisen kit, and I learned a lot about the design. I will admit before I built this, I didn't like the Interceptor, but I have come to appreciate it, especially mounted vertically.
