Lock down Sci fi build no 3. TESTORS Roswell UFO. The innards went West a while ago so buttoned up with nowt to see. First primer, and some obvious areas for work that weren't so obvious on the bare plastic. Plastic putty and some wet n dry tonight.  . This will have these - leaning towards the Electric Blue/Intense Violet or the Green/Blue Violet currently  |

Paul have you thought about enlargening the seams and then sticking stretched sprue in them? This would be easy to sand down to flat surface  |

Keep battling, Paul! Those divots aren't too bad and just a little more elbow grease.

This is looking fantastic! I would go with the Violet color though, that would really pop on this machine.

Well I got it to a point where I was happy, so it's now had a gloss black primer coat and been put away for at least 24 hours under cover to cure off. Now just need to de ide on a final shade.

As I can't decide on the two main choices for colour, I'm going for both Probably Green Blue Violet on top and the electric Blue Intense violet on the underside tiles... But hey guys.. Its me... That could change in the next five minutes let alone 24 hours🤔  |
