Really nice work, love the interior! One of my favourite spaceship-painting tricks when doing grey/metal hulls is to make a few separate greys and pick out a few panels here and there in subtly different colours to make it look like they've been replaced in repairs. Not overboard or anything, but the occasional slight colour mismatch can look great. Some panels can even have specific scratching, fading, corrosion and wear on them to make them look like they were salvaged from the wreckage of another ship, even an incomplete graphic so it looks like it doesn't belong.
It's very easy to go overboard, but keep it subtle and it looks brilliant. Another tip is when weathering, to add a little silver to the forward/bow-facing edges of some panels, as thought flying through space dust wore the paint off. Also must be done very subtly.
This is just proof and a testament to the times and the progression of home printing compared to store bought. If you brake anything you can just print it again overnight. Nice job.
@@KathyMillatt our postage has gone to 💩over here...seeing the benefits more and more every time I buy a kit....won't be long before I try fit a 3d printer in the office...lol
@@KathyMillatt genuine emotion is a great thing:) One thing I'd have liked to know a bit more about is how your oriented the 2nd Dynasty parts that you printed in resin. I've tried it before and had disappointing results.
Hi ya Kathy. Beautiful kit. Wonderful build. Fantastic results. I had to laugh at the scene where you were using your trash bin/can as a painting surface. Mine has all sorts of colors on the top. Great video. See ya next time.
1:56 This reminds me of the Shuttle from " Battlestar Galactica " (tos) . In fact place a couple of " Vipers " with it and you'll have a in flight diorama .
Brilliant. Your work is always fantastic and your presentation is always friendly, approachable, and devoid of the "ego contest" vibe. You're an inspiration. Keep it coming.
Hi Kathy….I know what you mean about the print lines. I bought a 3d printed ‘Liberator’ (Blake’s 7), nice kit overall but the print lines are a nightmare to get a smooth finish. The only way I had any success was with a dremmel sander then using liquid putty (a lot of it) and sanding again… very time consuming and still not perfect. Normal sanding sticks or wet and dry don’t seem to touch it lol. Love your build and can’t wait to see figures added and the finished diorama.
I often wonder what you do with all these dioramas. Your house must be full ha ha! Is it possible that you could model a 00 canal scene. Complete with lock gates. Love your videos keep on modeling x
Hm, some of that might've benefitted from a bit more sanding (though with PLA that seems to be always the case no matter how much you do... I know the feeling there. :D ), the drybrushing really brings out the layer lines. I like the choice of colours, I might do mine in something similar.
Hi Kathy, another stunning model, done to perfection, many years ago, Airfix produced something called "Starcruiser1, which was designed by Gerry Anderson, and was simply a clip together kit, it would have been suitable for a beginner, and could have been upgraded in a similar way, unfortunately, it's been out of production for years now, although there was talk of it being reintroduced, anyway, stay safe, all the best from Canada (I'm on holiday at the moment), Stephen.
Looks awesome and have been following the progress on Instagram. The spaceship could easily be something out of the Gerry Anderson universe and is FAB 👍
Wow that weathering looks amazing, it is like magic. Great work as always, and really glad to see such a cool color style. On another note: You got some gel pens woo!
This kit sort of reminds me of Gundam. Gundam kits also don’t need to be glued together. Nice job on this build. Edit: I also use sharpies a lot for weathering. I find them useful and so diversely applicable for many types of projects.
I bought this ship on the kick starter. Looking at the stl files, did you print your interior walls etc. with rafts? Some of the parts don't look like they would stay vertical for an entire print without falling over. Also how much filament did it take to print the entire project? Looks great btw.
Brilliant. If you’re on Discord, join their server as there’s loads of great advice there. I used brims but most don’t, they use glue. I had no problem with any parts though. I don’t keep a record of filament I’m afraid as I’m printing so much all the time.
@@KathyMillatt Livestreams? Where do I find them? I'm working in N scale. Well I've been a collector of N scale for years. LOL I had started a layout but we moved. I've had to build a new train room and am starting to reassemble the benchwork. The reason I contacted you is I'm starting to develop N scale product. I had an electrical transmission tower photo etched and have a few copied. The truth is I've never assembled a photo etched kit myself and I am looking for a couple of experienced people to try it. It seems to be a very hard task to find someone to build a free N scale model. LOL
I used GreenStuffWorld first then just one off Amazon. In fact several off Amazon and they’ve all set. I do put them in my UV curing chamber as well as use the torch.
@@KathyMillatt That's a shame, you could find a nice little planet for just relaxing and chilling out on, but you totally need to print off a set of chevrons stick them on it and give one of your excellent paint schemes, thank you for the great video, that is one impressive kit.
@@OnlyAnairaGirl You are right. But I believe that "if you don't ask, you don't get". Also a recent family death, I'm not thinking straight, I might aswell end myself and save everyone the trouble. Goodbye.
Great use of the ultra violet, well done.
uv filling and sanding - yes please Kathy - KR AndyT.
Thanks Andy
Fun build! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kathy.
Can't wait too see 👀the

It kind of reminds me of the shuttlecraft from the old Battlestar Galactica series, I like the version with the small wings !
I think the inspiration comes from that era and a lot of the designs were similar.
Really nice work, love the interior!

That’s a great trick and I love the idea of a patched up ship.

Great job!! Love the model. 😍
Thanks!
Wow! That’s a lot of work done!! 😬🤔🤗
It was worth it!
This is just proof and a testament to the times and the progression of home printing compared to store bought. If you brake anything you can just print it again overnight. Nice job.
I did break a couple of resin joysticks and I could just repent. The filament prints are much tougher and makes it playable.
@@KathyMillatt our postage has gone to 💩over here...seeing the benefits more and more every time I buy a kit....won't be long before I try fit a 3d printer in the office...lol
You look happy as a clam, fantastic build of Ben's shuttle. Very inspiring.
Thanks! I was happy.
@@KathyMillatt genuine emotion is a great thing:) One thing I'd have liked to know a bit more about is how your oriented the 2nd Dynasty parts that you printed in resin. I've tried it before and had disappointing results.
Sorry, I missed this. The spaceship was filament but I generally go 35-45 degrees on resin.
Hi ya Kathy. Beautiful kit. Wonderful build. Fantastic results. I had to laugh at the scene where you were using your trash bin/can as a painting surface. Mine has all sorts of colors on the top. Great video. See ya next time.
My bin is now the proud owner of white spatters as the spray can was awful!
Das ist ja mega Cool. Danke für das zeigen. Sieht einfach Klasse aus.

Great video Kathy

I love using spray putty but I was worried it would fill all the details on this. It’s is certainly a headache.
I am taking a little break from On30 modeling and trying my hand at scifi diaroma. Your episode came just at the right time. 👍
Perfect!
An out of this world build. 👽
Wow that looks awesome. Great details too. I love it
I'd be interested in a video on the UV resin method!
Thanks Yanna. It’s in the works.
Hi Kathy, As always a nice turnout, , it's nice to see things come to life, and feel satisfied, Stay safe All the best Brian 😃
I start and plan so much, it was great to just finish this.
Really does look splendid, fantastic paint choices
Thanks Digger.
Great looking model Kathy, the glowing effect of the paint was really effective.
It is so cooool!
That's a fantastic space craft type shuttle, nicely detailed, great job 👍
Thanks Jerry.
I often wonder what you do with all these dioramas. Your house must be full ha ha!
Is it possible that you could model a 00 canal scene. Complete with lock gates. Love your videos keep on modeling x
I’ve done a canal scene in O scale so I can’t see me doing one soon but I do love canals.
Hm, some of that might've benefitted from a bit more sanding (though with PLA that seems to be always the case no matter how much you do... I know the feeling there. :D ), the drybrushing really brings out the layer lines.

Sanding was just taking off the detailed panels so wasn’t really working well.
Yeah, I could see that being a problem.
Really cool build! Great tips too! I paint outside on my balcony too. I liked your sound effects!
Thanks Bruno and I tried quite a few spaceship noises…
Worthy of a like.
Wow, Kathy you are. Very talented builder!!🖖🏻
Thank you!
@@KathyMillatt Your so welcome! 🖖🏻

It’s definitely FAB!
Fantastic paintjob, Kathy! I've just downloaded my files for this one - not sure when I'll get around to printing it.😀
Story of my life!
That was a really well put together video 👍🏻, I really enjoyed this one, thank you.
Thanks Paul!
Wow that weathering looks amazing, it is like magic. Great work as always, and really glad to see such a cool color style.
On another note: You got some gel pens woo!
Hi John, you reminded me that I had some from my fun fair build so out they came. Weathering is definitely magic!
Hi Kathy, awesome model, by the way is that a full size star gate in your garden??
I wish! Sadly just wood.
Nice work
The paint job looks great.
Where do you get glowing paint?
Monique from Brisbane
This is GreenStuffWorld fluorescent paint but most model brands have them now.
Have you ever considered doing anything Doctor who? Sarah Janes attic or the inside of a Dalek spaceship, TARDIS interior for example?
I have but it’s not got that far up the list yet I’m afraid.
This kit sort of reminds me of Gundam. Gundam kits also don’t need to be glued together. Nice job on this build.
Edit: I also use sharpies a lot for weathering. I find them useful and so diversely applicable for many types of projects.
Sharpies are ace and I love Gundam! They are so well engineered.

I was just drifting off and the noise you made at the start made me jump lol.
Sorry! I did quite a few takes and some were noisier.
@@KathyMillatt haha you’re good. I needed to wake up. Thanks!
Hi Kathy,Brilliant made model!
Any news on any further Series of the Channel 5 The Great Model Railway Challenge being made?
I haven’t heard anything in years so I suspect not. So sad.
@@KathyMillatt Shame,I enjoyed that programme very much and the overall input of the show was excellent,especially from yourself!
Kathy are you still working with trains? If so what is your primary scale?
I am. My livestreams are all trains. Primary scale is HO with some OO thrown in.

Hi Rick. Livestreams are on my channel and there’s a playlist for them too.
Have you ever done any paper/card modeling?
I did a bit but I was getting too much warping so I generally uses styrene instead.
Do you have your own Stargate in the Garden?
I wish. Sadly it’s only wood. 😢
I’d love to know which brand of uv resin you use…I’ve bought 3 and all have a wet sticky residue on top even when cured for an hour….
I used GreenStuffWorld first then just one off Amazon. In fact several off Amazon and they’ve all set. I do put them in my UV curing chamber as well as use the torch.
@@KathyMillatt very generous to reply, thank you so much…keep up the great work, you’re doing the uk proud!
We built this city on rock n roooooooll
Love the Accent
Are you from Northern U K
or Manchester
No, I’m a midlander. I have just a hint of a Brummie accent.
I wants It ...
You can print your own!!!
@@KathyMillatt But But , you do such a better job than me lol .
Was that a Star gate in your back garden?
Sort of! It’s a wooden circle but sadly doesn’t link to any other planets.
@@KathyMillatt That's a shame, you could find a nice little planet for just relaxing and chilling out on, but you totally need to print off a set of chevrons stick them on it and give one of your excellent paint schemes, thank you for the great video, that is one impressive kit.
Cool idea!
Just a comment for the algorithm
I would like to see something like it done with a 3D printer to see how it looks. I always look forward to seeing your builds. Take care and have fun.
Thanks!
To bad there no Bridge Crew Figures
Next video!!!
Now get some little guys to man it.
Coming soon…
Ima fan, but this is my absolute nightmare. Printed spaceships. I rather kitbash the crap out of stuff...
I like doing both!
why does it say mee-ow?
Three easy steps...
Easy but not perhaps quick!
Wonderful model. If you don't ask, you don't get right? Are you single?
Thanks!
Is that a yes?
A) she's wearing a ring, and b) it's really rude to try hitting on a creator who's just making videos.
Thank you!
