That's a great start mate. It is a great idea to show us the production process of the Venator.

Do you have now all paints and parts together for the kit or are you missing something?

Just have to go and by the paint. Not sure if I'm going to paint it the Republic colours or Imperial colours.

Hi guys, not much done today  just glued the engines on to rear of the ship. I really like the  look of the engines with the blue, making it look like they are on.

I can see you started to paint the ship in grey. That is a great colour, it fits very good to an imperial ship.

Hi guys,  I hope you  will like my version of a Venator class Imperial cruiser. I have  not seen anyone do a  version of the Imperial cruiser  before so I thought I will give it ago. I painted the ship using Tamiya which I found to be alright. The colours I used were light sea grey for the mane body of the ship and sky grey for the sides of the ship . I also used light blue for the inside of the engines and anthracite grey for the outside. I found the model kit to be quite good to build had no real problems accept for get two bottom parts of the ship and not having a top part, I had to get the right part sent to me by mail. So I give this model kit 5/5  :) ;D :)  So I hope you like.
