International Scale Modeller

The MKVII Colonial Viper, fueled and armed, ready to defend the fleet on the voyage to find the 13th tribe.

A long time in the making, many mistakes and new things learnt.
Thankyou to those who have followed the Build and a special thanks to Astaroth for keeping me on track.

Hope you enjoy looking , feel free to give feedback good or bad, on to the next one and happy modelling

Just superb.

Thankyou very much for the kind words bud, without you there wouldnt have been anything, im glad i took part too, so much help and encouragement from all you guys.
This build has stretched my skills and paitence at times but was so totally worth it, it now been named as 'Resting Bay' and has pride of place along side my mkII.

Maybe I should have checked here before commenting on the build thread - doh!

Mate that is simply stunning work - the attention to detail on everything in there just adds to the overall effect.

Like Lysus said I'd just sit and stare at it all day.

Congratulations on getting it done!

Without your entry it probably wouldnt have gone this far to be fair, i was really inspired by your hanger scene so credit where its due mate

Holy cats, that is AWESOME!!!
I love the posters, what a great touch....I think I see miss6 in one

For a split second I was thinking to myself "Bloody hell, he's filled his garage with a 1:1 scale Viper!" Awesome model and dio.

How could i possibly have left out Six ?? She featured so prominantly throughout the build it would have been plain rude

Thanks for your support along the way Scott, your comments, as always, are much appreciated

Two things, 1) i wish i had a garage that big
2) my girlfriend would have left if it was 1:1

Im glad you took the time to have a look man, much appreciated, your kind words flatter me.

It doesn't get any better when you get married! My wife occasionally pops her head into the man cave and invariably says "THAT BLOODY STINKS! OPEN THE WINDOW!" I'm thinking to myself "You wanna smell it in here when I'm using enamel paint!"

Superb model and dio. You should be rightly very proud of it. It gives lesser modellers like me inspiration and something to aspire to. I can't wait to see your next model.

If theres one thing ive learnt well from the guys here its that theres no such thing as a lesser modeller, you are a modeller, albeit less experienced, but a modeller none the less. Experience is about cracking on and asking questions when you come across something you dont get ... the support you have got here is second to none

That is just incredible. It looks so real. I wouldn't have even dreamed up the posters, toolboxes, desks and roll up door. just incredible.

Thankyou for taking the time to have a look, i had alot of support from the guys involved with this sig along the way and they gave me the confidence to push my boundaries a little, being my first group build ive had a blast and as my second model ive learnt a whole heap
