thanks

Absolutely! Jules Verne practically invented the genre, and that's a classic design I'd love to see built.

Nautilus .... very cool, had a hankering for one of these for a long time now.
Saw a vid on youtube where a guy painted his with a paint so heavy with iron that he actually got it to rust ... it looked fantastic.

I saw that video too.. that's what inspired me to buy this kit..

My Hero
Loads of pics and explanations please

A bit on the fence about entering this one myself, since I don't have any 'general Sci-Fi' models as such. The only models I possess that fit into the Sci-Fi category are from my Warhammer 40,000 collection, which feels like a bit of a weak entry without doing one of the massive resin monstrosities which I know I would never finish

Anything sci-fi is valid, as long as you havnt started it yet, figure painting is as much a part of scale modelling as anything else and its something people struggle with. Your involvment may help someone improve their skills and thats a big part of what this forum is about.
Its my first SIG and im loving it, i would urge you to jump on in and enjoy the process.

Cant believe how well this SIG is going, its great to see so many builds going on from guys stepping out of their comfort zone to support the cause, seems we have some closet sci-fiers amongst us
Good luck everybody

All right, ladies and gents, only two weeks left to wrap up your builds! (Or start one).

I'm really pleased to see all the entries, and I can't thank the wonderful hosts here at ISM enough for allowing this to happen. Details regarding the reveals and awards to come soon.

Good luck!

Damn you Lysus. Did you really have to remind me of that?

Afraid so! Time waits for no man, or Decepticon

I quickly need to sort out my paint problem and get to painting then.

Only seven days remain, folks. Call in sick, get a sitter, do whatever you need to do!

Good luck

I might have to quit sleeping then.

Midnight PST would be appropriate end time..seeing on how this sig originated in the Pacific Northwest

Thank you to all who participated, thanks to Paul and Lee, and a round of applause for our finishers!

For those that haven't finished, please do go ahead and continue to give us all updates on your work and post reveals when they're done. It's by your sharing that we all learn!

Details to come on the next phase: judging!

Thanks for hosting Lysus ...great Idea hope all enjoyed. wonder what else we can come up with sci fi related?

I second both of these!

As mentioned in the threads this was my first venture into an ISM Sig and really enjoyed both participating and watching some of the amazing creativity and imagination on show in the build threads.

Have I missed the results yet ?

Yep! Sorry, probably would have made sense to leave a post here, too.
