SPA Modeler

Hello Everyone! Thought I would make an attempt at this monster and hoping I can do it some justice. I have been working on this on and off for a while. I am going for a "warehoused" look and I am removing panels so that added detail can be seen. I am still midstream plumbing this out but the pictures (as out of focus as some are...sorry) give a good idea as to what I am doing.

I hope everyone has been doing well, and I look forward to seeing the builds that come with the new year along with trying to get on here more frequently than the past while......

As always thanks for lookin!

This is looking MANtastic!!!
I would have loved to have gone all old/rotting looking on the one I did...but the guy that has to look at it (and signed the check) made all the calls.

Looks like the real one in storage at the Smithsonian! I think that you’re achieving the desired look.

Al those wires... wow! This is gonna be good! Well done!!

Handi!
I've noticed your sneakin' through the forum in the past weeks. So glad to have you back, especially with such a fantastic build!
I have the quarterscale version in my stash and was thinking about showing it the rotten way.

Off to a great start. The weathering and wiring is exceptional so far!

Great to have you back around Brent. I've been out for about 3-4 months myself so don't feel like the lone ranger. lol

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is that this is INSANE!! I cannot wait to see the rest of the progress!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Everyone! Here is a quick glimpse of what is to come. Just test fitting the gears in place hoping the neglected look I was aiming for is what I achieved.... More to come. As always Thanks for lookin!
