So, this is my first Post at this Forum :redface
I'm from Germany, sorry for my bad English !
It's a honour to be in the Circle of so many great Studio Scale Modelers.
Today i finished my Studio Scale X-Wing, build from the Salzo "Hero" Kit (thank you very much Mike)
Here are some Pic's, i hope you like it :

The "bar" around here remains consistently raised high!
Wow, you did a great job with that, i like how you shortened the "turkey feathers", i always wanted to include that option with the kit but never got around to picking up the short ones from the Phantom.....
always great to see these built up

That is a fantastic build! That cockpit and pilot are flawless.
Very nice work, and I really like the stand.
Amazing job, just flawless really isnt it? Cockpit is stunning, the paintwork you have done, WOW.
As for the shot on the base, it looks just like it was pulled from the archive.
So many awesome X wings about of late, Mike Salzo is a star indeed!

And the cockpit and pilot are the hardest thing to do justice to. A poor cockpit can ruin an otherwise excellent ship. I should know, I suck at cockpits and pilots. SHARE YOUR SECRET!!!REL said:
Excellent job!!!!!
el loco...
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!
THAT is the way to do it!!! FANTASTIC WORK!!!
What else do you have up your sleeve sir?!! I will be watching with WIDE OPEN eyes!
Hey el loco, thats some great reference pictures of the ILM Model. How did you manage to get so close
But seriously, Ausgezeichnet Arbeit. What an excellent job. It looks spot on.
El loco, just fantastic!! That is outstanding work. . .
What did you use for those tiny white stripes in the front of the cockpit?
And if you say you painted them. . . I'm going to go jump out the window.
thanks you all for so much positive comments
Hand Solo, ralphee, REL and the other X-Wing Builders here have inspired me with their great X-Wings
@ superjedi, the thin stripes in the Cockpit are decals made from rests of some Aircraftdecalsheets cut with a very sharp knife, so please come off that Windowsill
Hey Kuhn Global, there is nothing more in my sleeve
But i guess in YOUR sleeve soon will be a complete Red Squadron, build by the best Studio Scale Modelers.
If there is any Interest, i have made some "Pics-from-the-Workbench"
Thanks
Andre
El loco, i for one would love to see the build up pics, for future ref of course hehe!

El Loco, we'd love to see the buildup in progress pix. I'm planning on doing an Xwing at some point and I'd like to wrap my mind around the whole process just to get an idea how much work and time will be involved. Thank you kindly for offering those pix here.

Lee & Dave, thanks for your Interest !
Here are some Pics :
That is probably the best I have seen - your cockpit makes me weak in the knees! You have raised the bar - congrats!!
Your cockpit almost looks full scale..NICE JOB!
Any man who has his own bluescreen setup... is a hero around these parts.
Excellent debut! And welcome.

Beautiful work! The cockpit is really stunning. It΄s just excellent overall...not one flaw.
I love your blue screen set up too, soooo cool, i gotta build me one of those.
I think Jason is right, this may be the best so far, on any Salzo/CC kit, the bar is just getting higher and higher now, its nuts LOL.

Awesome job El Loco ! Cant say better than the previous posts
That's just perfect, and thanks for sharing your buildup pics !
Very... VERY NICE Andre!
You are an inspiration sir!
Keep up the GREAT work! I am certain that whatever you do next will amaze everyone just as this piece did! You have a true talent for this artform!
I will be watching for your next piece!
