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!

Hi y'all!
DERRICK: for the planks I just used an evergreen sheet on which I carved the stripes. Much easier...
Icarroll: looking forward!

Here are the last pics:

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!

Really nice work...especially the finish and the weathering.

She's truly stunning, Iwik!  I love the shading and weathering.  As Lance said, really adds interest to an overall aluminum scheme.
Cheers,
Bud

This looks absolutely stunning Iwik, the finish you have achieved on this model is excellent, I have a few of these in my stash so might have to pull them out soon, well done.

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.
