Thanks for sharing this Ruck. I was wondering, with these being plastic models, how much assembly would be required.

20 July can't get here soon enough!!

Here's an in-depth guide to ship assembly--lots of good, up-close pics of the ships:

I do like that they are molded in different colors--that will catch people's eye on the table. I just hope that Covenant purple isn't too hard to paint over; not sure if my Covie ships will be that color. I'm actually thinking about some sort of metallic green.

You might need to bite the bullet and get some spray primer for that purple, depending on how the paint coats it.

Great pictures in that post. It looks like the ships will fit together pretty smoothly. I was a little worried they would go for a plug the post method of construction which can be a pain if the pieces don't fit exactly correct.
