Hi every one here is one I have just finished just one I built for myself because I like the ship, RED DWARF all plastic sheet apart from the red ring at the back of the model which was a bit from my spares box from an old kit. I have yet to paint the model, and as you all know I can not paint but this will be a simple red spray job with a bit of dirtying down even I can not make a mess of that well I hope not.
The model is just over 3 feet long and 12 inches wide, and is quite heavy as I put in loads of bits inside to give it strength please let me know what you think it really does help me to improve.

regards Barrie ( the old smeg head guy )

Hi Bz

Quite an impressive build.

What paint are you going to use? Halfords' red primer may be a good chioce?

Thanks for the comments John and Ian,
YES the green bug would be a good model to pull of I have been looking for balls if you pardon the expression for a long time of the right size to make a good model, I will put it on my to do list until I find the correct type and size.

Hi every one,
well here is my humble attempt at a paint job on red dwarf, the model is now complete and will soon be on display in TRANSPORT MODELS PRESTON LANCASHIRE, if you get chance drop in and take a look at the model and maybe you could give me a thumbs up on the paint job or more likely advice to leave the painting to some who knows what they are doing.

regards Barrie ( the old guy who can not paint )

Very cool to see :smiling3: The paint job doesn’t look too bad, though you could try highlighting it a little perhaps? Just some drybrushing with a lighter shade over the raised detail should make that pop out a bit and make the model look even better (hopefully :smiling3:).

The paint came out of a spray can Pete, I am no where near a lot of the other members who paint and finish models and show there work on the forum, I wish I was. just a bit of a dabble for me, I leave the others to create with paint.
