Finished my Slave 1 , Unfortunately I was unable to record the build at the time but have got these pics to show off. I also tested out my new Iwata airbrush which I'm really happy with. The model is also lighted which I will post next (I had exceeded my limit).

The kit was pretty much straight forward the only real drama I had with it was the painting, took a few attempts before I was happy with the chipped effect and the colours.

Very nice. Models like this just make you want to set up a green/blue screen and try filming it the old way.

Really lovely work man, Fine Molds stuff always looks brilliant OOB and your painting is top notch. Did you make the stand yourself?

Yeah, homemade stand. Its just a cheap picture frame with mdf instead of the glass and some clear acrylic rod heated up in the oven to get the bend.

I'm North of the river, It gets hard sometimes sourcing material. Stanbridges is the only decent hobbyshop near me and that's 3/4 hr away.
