Build Blue Midget part 2

[@SEMJW]

There was genius in the Gerry Anderson Supermarionation productions. As kids we could have a small, die cast Thunderbird 2 and it looked to us at the time just like the hero model from the show. The Red Dwarf miniatures are similar and done in a way for comical effect. As adult modellers we know better. Recreating the studio miniature to this high a degree takes talent and skill. Great job, Phil.

Hey Phil, you did an awesome job. I love the lighting, the paint work, and the weathering. I also like the diffuser you used in the engine bell. Nice job with the glamour shots too. You really nailed this build. Good job.

A fine result, Phil. I really liked your metallic layering on the road wheels and return rollers. While the effect is subtle, it is quite effective. We who build a lot of armor are very much in tune with what layering can do to bring interest, realism, and a three-dimensional effect to a model.

Very nice build, looks great. On a glossed surface the Florey wash works really well as a panel liner too. Have a Happy New Year.

It's nice when your shirt matches your model colors! And who would've thought Pan Am would go extinct? Everything is moving along swimmingly-- very nice work. I have two thoughts about that low-down hallway lighting-- one is to build up lighting with a string of LEDs-- just cobble it together. The other is to get yourself to a Dollar Store or Dollar Tree OR a Harbor Freight store and get yourself some of the interesting new little work lights. They are COB lights that run on 4.5V. They work at 3V. But what's interesting is that in those forms, they are the most affordable for their sizes. There's little short lengths of about 1.25" that are very bright. The larger work lights are maybe 4" long-- just what you might need for the tight space of that hallway lighting area. Of course, you should look these up for almost any other project. I found that it was possible to cut them, if you can find the "unit" spot-- similar to the "cut here" line of strip lighting.

We called it a tax disc....it had to be displayed on the windscreen (usually bottom left hand corner (from inside the car). You could only get one if you produced a valid vehicle identification document, a valid insurance certificate (in you name) and a valid MOT. They stopped the displaying of the disc about 10 years ago (? 2014).... it's all done automatically these days.

As a huge Red Dwarf fan, I would absolutely love this, but, it’s way out of my budget, plus, my painting skills wouldn’t do it justice, I do plan on getting the Red Dwarf and starbug models from Gambody as I have a Bambu P1S with AMS so can 3d print in different colours, which removes the painting requirements.

[@timelordvictorious]

Shame they don’t want to make an Lego of red dwarf . This is cool thou

[@corinandrews1463]

hi Phil, amazing result! I'm building this now, can you tell me the make of the brass you used for the dry brushing, it looked so amazing

[@goforitpainting]
