Ok so finished my fichtenfoo gondola antigravity racer diorama. It looks like the Alchemy Studio gondola has a slight lead on the Industri Mechanika racer. Two photos one as is and one with a bit of photoshopped work to see what it might look like with real antigrav

Slow but steady progress on the industria mechanika / fichtenfoo AG racers. I am waiting for a few items to add. I made the industria mechanika decals (quite a task) and the standard caution etc decals come from my collection on Mecha decals. Also added some heat effect where the thrusters will go

Ok Sat morning - Rigging 95% complete. Now need to add sails to finish rigging. Still a ways to go, rails, crew, stand and a couple of extras I'm adding which aren't included. Starting to look pretty good (I think πŸ€”)

Saturday 's progress on the catamaran.
Hulls complete and have assembled the three major structures save the mast. Next comes the mesh between the hulls which will be an adventure. Then it's on to rigging, railing,sails, and crew.

Slow but steady progress on the PlayStation catamaran. All decals are on the hulls, other parts and all gloss coated with Gaia X 03. Just added the railing posts on one side of the hull. Had to measure locations and size from photographs of the boat as the kit did not include the railing

Some paint progress on the PlayStation Catamaran. A lot of strip masking and painting. A bit more to go then dealing and detail assembly. Not a lot of parts but complicated paint job.

Ok good to know . Currently working on re-creating sails from PlayStation Catamaran that set world record for crossing Atlantic. This was done with tea paper and battens are polystyrene, gloss coat to add sheen and stiffness

So started second meeting model of 25. Something new for me, trying to recreate sails. Here we have teabag paper already given a wash of water/pva glue and the styrene being added for the battens. Now what ship is this? More to come when I start on the hulls. (Clue).
