Okay, I added the blower pulley-tensioner.. You won't see much of it when it's completed; I'm going to plum (wire) the engine and eventually weather it.

The 1/285th scale USS Wasp scratchbuild project. Today some of the interior pieces were assembled and installed. Much detailing remains to be done

Actually I'm not sure if "scratchbuilding" is 100% accurate. All the black plastic parts you see in this photo are stock of modified Athearn GP-35 parts. The rest is my work.

They need a bit of weeding - removing fibres which point the wrong way - but otherwise I think I can fit the knights.

I added greenery, cleaned up and gave everyhing a layer of Dullcote. Then stippled the middles of the pipes with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal sparingly, before sponging on some Agrax Earthshade.

the oil stains are layers of Agrax Earthshade (matt and gloss) and Typhus Corrosion.

It has a long way to go, but you get the idea..

I've been planning this in my head for a month, so I based the construction on observations made in the "real world".

I finally sat down and cobbled this together with styrene materials that I had available and using prototype (14' x 48') dimensions as reference. It's not as spindly as the prototypes appear to be, but this first attempt is acceptable.

The next step is a shot of brown paint, some weathering and custom images....
