Post by: Pgtaylorart on February 21, 2015, 04:38:17 AM: The screen is a great idea for the stitching! Why didn't I think of that? Now I know what I need to do for my current build.

Post by: Chris Johnson on February 22, 2015, 12:43:35 AM: I'll echo the comment about using the screening for stitching. That's a great idea. It's good to see a Bishop build too.

Cheers,

Post by: Derrick on February 22, 2015, 05:58:08 AM: The sideboards that have the planks at an angle did you use individual strips to make that or one of the special sheets from Evergreen. Seem to remember seeing sheets of something similar in the local hobby store. Think they were meant for railroad hobbyists.

Post by: RAGIII on February 23, 2015, 01:20:34 AM: Your scratch built interior is awesome! As others have said the wood grain and detail work is excellent! OUTSTANDING work, One thing about a retro build thread is that we know just how great it turned out but seeing the process helps give us ideas for our own future builds!

Post by: iwik on March 02, 2015, 11:27:53 PM: Hi y'all!
DERRICK: for the planks I just used an evergreen sheet on which I carved the stripes. Much easier...
Icarroll: looking forward!

Post by: lcarroll on March 02, 2015, 11:47:45 PM: Lovely work, Iwik, one of my favourite subjects. You've done a great job of "breaking up" that overall silver finish and the details added to a very basic Kit really stand out. beautiful Model!
Cheers,
Lance

Post by: mgunns on March 03, 2015, 02:56:04 PM: Hello Iwik:

You have done a magnificent job on this less than stellar kit. The care and quality of your work is truly outstanding. The finish, as has been mentioned, is a great example of how to break up an overall silver finish without it looking broken up. Like Lance, this is on my list and I will be referring back to this build when I tackle mine.

Thanks for posting.

Mark
