KrokoHunter · 06-18-2011, 11:11 AM

I also wanna be a part of the "Pod-head" gang

Hope to progress a bit tonight. Still need to get the Platruct and JPS mkIII parts

Awaiting the 5th 223 for the LR223 .. Will start that project sometime next week

Working on my 223 as we speak.

Thanks mate

Your, Lee's, Allan's, Jason's, Julien's and Marvin's buildups have been a great source of inspiration for me. Have most of your threads in print for inspiration/reference

Progress on the LR232: what better way to get inspired than watching TESB

marvin · 06-19-2011, 03:31 AM

I must say, those seams look pretty damn nice!

Yep you can't beat inspiration like that! Standard practice for me is to put the soundtracks on in the background

Looking forward to you next steps.

At this rate we'll have enough to literally ship them out to every planet in the system

. Great work.

Thanks guys .. this is a cool, little project .... Love it so far .... gonna order the Plastruct parts in a day or two

KrokoHunter · 06-19-2011, 03:56 PM

Speaking of Plastruct .. the website seems to be offline ...

For my TIE-Bomber project I ordered the parts from http://www.kitkraft.biz but they don't seem to have the lamp/ lampshade parts :-/

Try E.M.A. Models in the UK. They have most Plastruct parts and can order any parts you'd need.

KrokoHunter · 06-23-2011, 03:12 PM

I've ordered parts at both Plastruct and EMA for 3 different projects now. Can't wait to get the parts

Small Update (need one more 232 grill)

KrokoHunter · 06-23-2011, 03:13 PM

Wow. What a crappy pic. I'll shoot a better one tomorrrow

KrokoHunter · 06-24-2011, 06:51 AM

Better pic

Started detailing the butt-section .. Need to score one more 232 grill .... and a 1/12 JPB mkIII

Next will be making the front coverplate and detail that ... shouldn't take to long.

almar bouwman · 06-24-2011, 10:15 AM

The grill comes with the 232 kit. So if you have the hull you should also have the grill.

KrokoHunter · 06-24-2011, 10:56 AM

I know. Moe sponsored one of the hulls, but he needed the grill

KrokoHunter · 06-26-2011, 05:03 PM

Update:

I'm now pretty stuck, untill I receive the Plastruct parts, and scores a JPS mkIII

Guess it's time to start on the 223 version

KrokoHunter · 07-11-2011, 02:23 PM

The current state:

The front is ready for primer. The enginesection awaits the last 232 grill, before I can attach the remaining parts. Oh and the fact, that I still need to find a mkIII

KrokoHunter · 07-13-2011, 06:21 AM

Today I received the remaining 8-rad grill, which was kindly donated by RI member captain az.. Thanks mate

I was then able to finish the outer rim of the rearsection

marvin · 07-13-2011, 07:18 AM

Great progress on both pods! Now finish these babies up!
