    Scott's October sig build

    Ok folks here is my Sig build, it is a MKI star fury from babylon 5. It is my intention to do a diorama of the inside of the cobra launch bay.

      Awesome I have the Special Edition of this kit with the "Tigermeet" decals for Sheridan's Starfury. Back in the 90s I built Ivanova's Starfury but to be honest made a bit of a mess of it.

      Will you be fixing the guns on this one?

          Scott, I know next to now't about things 'Up there', but I do know a great diorama in the making and this one fits the bill just nicely.

          As I have never built Sci. Fi. or anything spacewise before, I might yet muck in and have a go. Whether I do or not I will be following the builds...

          Good luck with this one mate,

          Cheers,

          Ron

              Hi Andrew yep the guns will be drilled out and fixed and i will have to scratch build the cobra bay as well..... it's never easy.

                    Well if you read the "authoritative" articles about the Starfury on Starship Modeller etc, they say the Presidential Escort is the wrong colour, the Sea Witch isn't very good as its not sexy enough plus the drop shadow for the text looks wrong, so I'd say its down to Ivanova or Psi Corp. The Psi Corp one is supposed to be a sort of black (they are the psionic "bad guy/nazis" after all )

                    I built my old one as Ivanova's but didn't make a great job of it first time round:

                    You can see the bad silvering on decals as I hadn't worked out back then that you couldn't put decals onto a matt surface!

                      My vote goes to the PSi one as well. Why are space craft predominantly white? Lets have a black one!!!

                            Ok folks so here is my progress so far, i had a little problem withe the black omega decal so i had to make a template and paint it in. Unfortunately it is a little squint and needs a bit of touching up, so i hope you like it and as usual all comments are welcome be they good or bad. I now have to try to scratch build part of the cobra bay.

                              hey scott. looking great so far. i never saw the show, but that's a sweet ship and you did/are doing a great job on it. i'm sure you know how to get around fixing up any painting/decal issues on space vehicles like this... battle damage!!
