Leon, you are my crazy kind of guy! Man, I admire folks who uses PE parts and after using are still on a normal brain level! Those added details look extremly sharp and will be a joy to weather! The whole kit looks superb so, where is my popcorn, where is my beer? I am in too in my comfortable chair. The movie is always running but it´s never to late to get aboard!

Anthony thank you! The PE sure does dress this up nicely. Frank thank you! :)Your not late,it's intermission time till I figure what else I want to add .This is the most PE I've worked with so far and the tiny bits still look a little intimidating.  |

Hehe, I think of handling all the PE sets for the 1:200 Battleship kits, hell, over that one could go crazy! But this stuff is so good...

WHOA! Looks like we have lost our friend Leon to the PE world?!?!? It can be addictive sometimes... huge improvements I am seeing here already!

Andy thank you buddy! I'm going to try and use as much of the PE as I can .The tiny locks for the stowage bins still look intimidating yet. |

LOL! It can be fun... it can be NO fun! Keep in mind you don't have to use all PE. That's what I do... in my last armor build Challenger II I used about 75% of PE from Voyager set. In some builds as high as 90% like my Tiger Initial. LOL

I had bought me some PE sets for detailing some creepy stuff I am doing, not for the vehicles they are designed for. And PE parts for figures are collected, so I will use a bit of them for my Dragon Figs here. As You prove, the using of this stuff is always a great improvement to some kind of kit parts and looks extremely good when finished. Its a pain to use them, but with a folding tool, it might be a little bit more easy...

Looking great, I am a PE nut but like they said, You don't have to use every little part. Reminds of a GB Challenge we should do one day, Pick a model any model and pick up an ABER PE KIT but you have to use every piece of PE in the Aber kit. Those of you that have bought an Aber kit will know what I am saying. |

Clean work on the PE, Leon. Looks like you're exploring new realms! Have you already decided for a color scheme? |

So far I did only manage to cut every Aber part from the PE-plate, but then they sometimes suddenly would disappear to Nirvana, or the carpet monster got them. |

Leon, you bet!
For a group build mentioned by Billie jean I would recommend one of those 1:200 Battleships, with ALL PE sets available for them. That would drive all of us nuts and be send to the asylum...

Looking good, Leon. It is good that you chose the Eduard PE set to use. They're a walk in the park compared to some of the other companies out there.

Looking great.. One thing about super detailing. Even if no one else sees it.. You always have that great feeling of Self-accomplishment. And isn't that what this hobby is about.. Making us feel good about ourselves, and always pushing ourselves to be better. (And to keep us from killing someone.) And that is one of the great things about digital cameras and the internet. You can always share it before buttoning it up. |
