So I went all fanboy on Nozza_uk's Star Trek Shuttle Post and ordered a shuttle from https://www.proteus3dmodelling.com/.
It is a very cool piece. I am posting progress on my blog. I am very happy with the service from Proteus and the quality from 2nd dynasty.

If anyone has questions about the model let me know. I can post pictures of each part on request.

That Chimera looks huge. It would be nice but I have no space for one.

I have test painted the nacelles and engine bells. I was testing the modelling masking tape as much as the paintjob itself. I am pretty happy with it. The only thing I really need to do is pick up a new pot of white paint that closer matches the base primer. Once the rest of the exterior is finished it will get a treatment of chipping and several treatments of oils and powders.

Base coat and masking done.

Oh! That's going to look fine!

I'm getting a distinct Chris Foss feeling from that paint job; can't wait to see the finished result...

This.

Should be enormous with a planet hanging over it for maximum Foss effect.

Really nice start. What's the front cockpit like?

There are more photo on my blog if you are looking for a particular shot. Here is the cockpit.

Really clean print there! Also the paint scheme is giving lots of Gerry Anderson vibes.

snitcythedog · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2020, 09:30:46 AM »

Base paint on the bottom is pretty much done. Just some minor touchups to go. I will do all weathering once the top is painted.

Hope you like.

Looks pretty swish; I am digging the colour scheme.

Are you planning on a fairly colourful look at the end or will it be dulled down by the weathering?
