Nice paint job. It takes a lot of work to get the Zvezda kit looking like this.
Very nice indeed
Good job!

Nicely done Sir.
On that ... or rather on a slightly different subject ... I like the look where propellor blades are replace by a clear plastic circle - to better emulate the rapid rotation, one assumes.
However, as everyone bar Giotto will attest, circles are not easy. Does anyone have any life-hacks for propellor blade repalcement circles?
Very nice, indeed !!
Cheers - Phil

There are tools for that. A search for rotary circle cutter should find you some. Only need some clear plastic sheet and voilà.

Depends on the size of them - you can get various punches & circle cutters for scrapbooking, but the punches don't like plastic and the circle cutters don't work well below a couple of inches diameter (although they can be persuaded).
Agreed, very nice. I'm planning on picking up their 1/200 Blenheim next time I'm in the local Antics.

Not tried it myself, but years I found this (http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/other/For-Designers/Props.htm).

I use a ten-baht coin. But a pair of protractors would do too.
Oops. dividers.

Do you want my old circle cutter, Nobby ?
I NEVER use it.....and theoretically it'll cut circles down to 1cm in diameter.....Though I seem to remember, that as Wulf, says.....it plays silly sods, the smaller you try and make the circle !

What you need is a friendly company with a laser cutter.
Now, where can we find one of those?
;D ;D ;D ;D
