AMT Slave One WIP

Thank you.

I've added more details to the cockpit. I've also made a little channel for some fiber optics to feed into the cockpit controls. This should keep the FOs hidden.





















Here I scratch build Boba's scope thingy. Sorry, don't know the technical name of this.

amazing updates

Randy I see the look you are going for with this cockpit. It is looking right! You mentioned fiber optics as well now that sounds great..

Loving it!

I think the technical term is.... "Mandalorian Scope Thingy"

This build rocks! I really like these MPC/AMT kits, so many possibilities.

Of course. I could never remeber those fancy names.

Thanks guys! Right now I'm working on the area where the wings meet the hull. I've been going over the details and trying different things but I just may end up with doing some simple additions to it instead.

Not much in the update department but here are some photos.











Here's the HIC that comes with this kit. The sides need a little work but it won't be seen all that much sitting in the cargo area.







I have cut up Boba's legs and used some epoxy putty to put him in a standing possition.

I started painting the cockpit.









Next I'll be painting the cargo area hopefully this weekend. For now it just has some black primer.

Good work Randy! Here is how the FM standing Boba looks:

Making some nice progress Randy.
I'm fighting the urge to dig mine out and work on it.

Interesting that the FM figure is the Pre-Pro version, at least the gun is.

Thank you very much guys! That FM Boba has quite a bit of detail for it's tiny size. I did squeeze in some airbrushing time but I didn't quite get the look I was after. I'll be working on it some more.

You are elevating this AMT kit to a completely different level.
Can't wait so see the paint job and weathering.

Thank you Katsu-san. I’m sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been experimenting with different lighting in the cargo area because what I originally wanted to do wasn’t bright enough. I’m going to have to order more LEDs but in the meantime I’ll be practicing my airbrushing.

That cockpit looks great!

Thank you Mike. I'm long overdue for updates so here we go. First are some photos I forgot I had. The pipes in these photos had to be extended to line up with the pipes on the sides of the ship.

And finally, the cargo area.

My first idea for the ceiling didn't light up the cargo area enough so I had to do some redesigning. I came up with this.





I made a light box for the LED with the ceiling attached to one side and the rest is covered in foil tape to prevent light bleed.























Thanks for looking and sorry for the lack of updates in a while.

Looking great! The colours and lightning looks nice, and in style of the ship and film. Very nice indeed!

100% pure awesome. I am loving watching this come together.

Love it! Awesome job!

That looks great !!!!

wow!! really nice..

I had to show this thread to my wife. This is some terrific and very fun detail. I'm loving this build

Very Cool, indeed!

Thank you so much for the kind words guys. Next I’ll be adding a few fiber optic strands to the cargo area then I’ll have to start painting body which I’m still intimidated with. It wasn’t easy to adjust my camera to take these pictures in the dark. These pictures just don’t look as good as it does in person.
