Heres something a little different for me, a "straight from the printer" speed build. Assembled and painted for a special client and built to use the available budget.
Made from a 3d printed PLA kit available on Ebay (not my model i must add). Built with zero surface finishing, no filler or sanding. What kind of results do you get ?.
Normally my models are as accurate as i can get them, but this one is a freehand, freestyle speed painted model, following roughly the aesthetic and using the same kind of painting techniques as the original BBC models.
I hope you enjoy this trip into what is possible with just 24 hours of time to build and paint a massive Blakes 7 Liberator.

Great job! Best looking ship in all of science fiction.

@APmodels 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Kerravon. I love the design as well. Iconic and very individual.

@modehead101 Год назад

Superb work on the detailing and what a fantastic design this ship still is after all these years,

@Stuart_Cox1969 9 месяцев назад

Brilliant, so nice to see Liberator hasn't been forgotten about after all this time, great job, well done on both models.

Great build, and very inspiring. A little disappointed the client wanted a uncanonical finish, but I know, the client gets what the client wants! Thanks for showing this amazingly fast build.

Thanks Martin. It was a quicky, but came out a goody :-). Cheers for checking it out.

Mate, you’ve done a fantastic job, enjoyed watching this build; made me dig-out my Blake’s 7 DVD box set and start watching it again! I’d love this kit but the old girl wouldn’t allow anything that big in the house. All the best from Brighton pal

Terrific video!! Very fascinating!! I would like to have a detailed model of the Liberator like this, only smaller!!

Stunning... beautiful ship. B7 an all time great.

Awesome build & paint job

@daviniarobbins9298 Год назад

If my memory isn't playing tricks on me the studio 3 foot model used wood and metal for the pylons. They were so strong that when they came to filming for Terminal they had to saw through one of them to get that shot of the pylon breaking off in the ship's destruction. I wish I had your model painting skills and talent. That was amazing build. "Looks good... from a distance."

@APmodels 10 месяцев назад

Hi there. I think the real one would have needed metal in there. the last one i did needed a complete armature making to keep the wings from drooping over time. I would imagine the original would have been the same. Thanks for watching :-)

@Andrew-jh5uv Год назад

Andy saw my questions a bit naff some that was a masterclass though it’s such a good kit it deserves the time

@SiCrewe Год назад

Very nice model although, I gotta say, I always find a lot of the enjoyment is "getting into the head" of the original prop-builder by figuring out what parts they used, and how they put them together, to make the original model. A 3D-printed model allows the builder to ignore that aspect of the build although, of course, if the original components are no longer available then 3D-printing can be a life-saver. Regarding the switch, it might be better if the model was designed with a small slot in the switch-mount and then the switch could be securely bolted to a postage-stamp sized square of plasticard and slid into position before gluing the plasticard in place.

@APmodels 10 месяцев назад

Hi there, thanks for checking the video. I think your correct about the switch. A less stressed position would definitely be a benefit. Overall, pretty nice kit for a display.

@ellbowski Год назад

Amazing, I want one! Bit sad it's a speed build and not detailed more. Definitely too grey..sorry to be picky..

@APmodels Год назад

I am aware. :-) this was never going to be a "replica" just a one off custom version. Thanks for watching the videos :-)

@davidkerr4137 Год назад

If only I had a 3d printer lol. Have you ever built one using the original EMA Supplies styrene tubing and parts?

@APmodels 11 месяцев назад

I did design and retrofit an armature to a much more accurate version a few years ago. The still shots in this video are of that one. I repainted it with a much more accurate paint job, and did the original fine line tape details on the engine. unfortunately i wasn't taking videos at the time, so nothing to really show on youtube. Thanks for checking them out :-)

@the3sounds Год назад

Could you use a regular drill bit, but put the drill in reverse? might take a bit longer, but should work.

@APmodels 10 месяцев назад

Hi there. I could do, but they tend to wander a lot and generate a fair bit of heat. Thanks for checking the videos out. :-)

@Andrew-jh5uv Год назад

10/10 The white lines in the engine pod um what did you use?

@peterwilliams8922 Год назад

How much did you charge for this, if you don't mind? I always loved that series, not as much since watching a few episodes on YT - I couldn't find my rose tinted specs, which spoiled it a bit. It's ripe for a remake with some CG graphics though. You did a very nice job, I'd be proud to have that displayed in my house.

@daviniarobbins9298 Год назад

Am guessing double NMW over 3 days at least £500 and the rest.

@APmodels Год назад

Hi Peter, the reply below is in the ballpark for a quick hit like this. I don't really do quickies if i can help it, as i try to make everything as close as i can to was on the original filming miniature This one broke my "normal"ethic. Still looked pretty good though, despite the lack of prep on the surfaces. Thank you for checking out the videos. :-)

@bobsbits5357 Год назад

hi there's a man in the ok that still sell alot of studio gear he had 3 tv used ones the real one's i know he sold them on i had some reel to reel decks of him in the back ground was the models there was a man i know that used to work on the audio side of the bb he told me alot used to go missing all the time in the past easy to make a clone of the real one

@Andrew-jh5uv Год назад

Last annoying question my apologies sanding wise the grit/s you would recommend

@APmodels Год назад

HI there Andrew. I would work down from something like a 200 grit to 600, but be prepared for some work and sanding cramps. Dont be afraid of it, just have some fun. White lines on the engines come with the kit and are plastic rods. :-)

@jamesprosser4261 Год назад

Awesome build mate. Once I finish my 5 concurrent builds (R2... 5 years and counting, blade runner blaster 3 years... You get the picture) I'll definitely do this one.... Hopefully within a year! 😂😂........... Of course I've subscribed!!!!!!

@darrenbee4955 Год назад

I didn't think the pylons were that thin

@APmodels 10 месяцев назад

I think there a bit thinner than they should, or could be. Not to shabby though, with a bit of reinforcement they seemed to do the job ok. :-) Thanks for checking the videos out.

What's the music with HAL & Dave sample?

@APmodels Год назад

Hey Carl. Its a thing i did, just messing about with some programs.:-)

@TheDjcarlos67 Год назад

@@APmodels I thought it might be. It's really good 🎶 I did a mix for my pirate radio station (Renegade FM) in the early 90s with a sample of HAL being deactivated by Dave over a really slow Massive Attack tune . I have the recording in the attic somewhere but your tune reminded me of it. Great build by the way. The attention to detail is ridiculous tho. I'm a patient guy but this level of patience is another level. Can't wait to see it completed

An excellent job on my favourite space ship design of all time, beautifully elegant yet clearly not a ship you want to mess with... I've seen this kit for sale and have been tempted - just how bad are the print lines?

@APmodels Год назад

Thanks you for the kind words. The print lines on this are pretty much as expected , with a few days sanding and filling it could be smoothed out no problem. Time constraints made this impossible on this build. You can see them in some of the close ups in the end montage. Thanks for watching the videos.
