I did build this ship many many years ago as a plastic kit. Your progress is fantastic it would be a shame not to complete it. Im looking forward to seeing this finished. What size is it?

If you dont mind me asking, how much were the mags and how many did you need to complete the build set?

There were at first 120 but just as it was about to finish they added 30 more to make a slice at 1/72 scale but i only ever wanted the ship and ifelt this was the easyer way of getting it.it might have taken me over 2 years but i'am glad i did they cost £5.99 each but well worth it as i've had some not to great partworks in the past

Wow, that makes it over £718.00 for the model. You better complete it after investing that much money.

Hi Peter

Looking very nice indeed im subscribing to the this just now,got 14 issues upto now so along way to go yet you dont have to take out the extra subs for the cross section i take it it's the deagostini one as like you i only want the ship.Never realised how bit it was until i saw the first issue and the cheapest iv'e seen the kit at is £670 i even asked at my local hobby shop and they quoted me £695 for the kit so it costs not alot more really doing it this way.

cheers steve
