WARNING: PICTURES!!! AND I DUNNO HOW TO URL THEM!!!

Thought I'd share my current project with you all. I'm building the 3' version of Serenity availible online as a paper model. I've assembled everything and I've been posting regular WIPs on another board (although why I didn't think of this one, I'll never know.
So, in a nutshell, here's what's happened so far:

Dining interior (which was practically pointless)

Bow heavy

Cockpit interior (can be seen with enough light)

Full length done

Landing (magnets in engines)

Landed

Flying

Back end

One shuttle (cut in half for each side)

And now I'm up to the painting stage:

I know there's a couple here doing one of these, so let me know how they're going.

Comments welcome.

Painting is a slow process.

Wonderfully done. You've definitely got a great talent there!

Thats great work you\\\'ve done there!!! Seeing yours fully built has spurred me on to get mine completed too, I\\\'m wanting to add bits on all the time which kinda slows things down a bit. 3 steps forward, 2 steps back etc. Eg, the other week I took the cockpit apart so I could fit a light bulb in there, wiring etc.
I\\\'m just about to build a lighted cargo bay with staircases, supplies, might even do a little mule (The 4 wheeled type) too. Can\\\'t remember if I mentioned, I\\\'m not using paint, using my printer as a paintbrush instead. Matt finish, but with gloss fixative, it should look shiny... er.... SHINY!!!!
I\\\'ll post some picks here tomorrow hopefully.

Some pics of my progress so far. Its a very matt finish at the moment, and I need to put tons of detail on it yet, (Let alone build the rest of it) but when its complete I plan to spray it with either gloss fixative, or transparent gloss car laquer. Pics to follow shortly. I have to use a proxy server to get onto this site and it\\\'s stopping me posting clickable thumbnails

I've gotten up to the wings now. Having a little trouble with them (first attempt looked messy with drybrushing) but it's nothing I can't handle, just got to mix my paints better. I'd have posted pics but lighting conditions aren't very good.

Well, seems the only way I can do this without a HUGE picture is to post a direct link with a space before the jpg.
