Hi people!

Here is my Meng's D9R with Voyager's slat armor.

I used Vallejo's IDF primer as base color and mostly Vallejo paints, varnishes and pigments.

I hope you like.





















Cheers!

Thanks a lot guys!

It is Voyager's. It isn't far to easy. The biggest problem is get the correct alignment.

I made chanels in a plastic plate with the distances indicated at instructions and put the plates in that. Then I started to cut the thin tubes in the correct size and introduced each one in the plates, using super glue.

I do not know if my english was enought to make myself understandable.

Jason, it is a great set. If you didn't understand, please ask again. Then I will call my son because he is english teatcher.


Cheers!

Hi guys!

I'm back here because I made a base to the Beast...

As I'm working at an AM machines parts company, I used the wood that we use to make boxes, made two stencils and simply painted the logos:





Them, I fixed the beast to the base using two wires. The final result is here:





I hope you like.

Cheers!
