Many thanks for the comments guys. I've pretty much finished painting it tonight, though I expect I'll tamper with it some more. I've gone for a beaten up old space tug look, mainly to hide the crap finishing! It turns out cling film can be welded to things using spraypaint. It took all the paint off one of the engine intakes but I tried to make it look like a patched area.

Steve, you've been on a voyage of discovery for us. Didn't know that about cling film and am now wondering what effect it might be used to create.  :D

Btw I really like that the QJ is 'beaten up'.  8)

It's sitting on the table now. I've just had the "and what are you going to do with that?" question.

Ditto

The standard of entries across the board is really inspiring.

Done! It's going to look pretty shit next to most of the other entries but it's been a lot of fun in the making. I should even see some gaming use.

Thanks again for all the encouragement,  it's really been appreciated.

At least you haven't had the "I'd like to just break that!" as your nice shiny new model sits on the floor, with her foot hovering near it! I'm sure she's kidding! :o :'(

That's just mean. Once I explained that it would be used in Star Wars games it wasn't so bad. She's still wondering where I'm going to put the XWing asteroid base I built.

Looks great Steve
Hopefully the painting wasn't too difficult. Looking forward to the 18th tough competition

Thanks Colin. I'm really looking forward to seeing the entries on the 18th. I hope it doesn't overload Bibbly.

I think he's overloaded already! It's been a while since I've seen him posting! Has someone been and reset his circuit breakers! :D

I'm pretty sure he was going away for a few weeks so he's going to come back to a lot of emails.
