eh up all,hope you have had a good christmas?
well it's time for another update,to start off i finished off the side detail,and gave it a shot of primer.
next i made a start on the gun mount but lookin at the window section i desided to scrap it and start again..
so first off i removed the window section and i didn't like the armoured panels also,so i fillered the old panels
,here you can see that the window bit has gone and i've reskinned all the panels..
and here is the remade window,which means i've got to change the bottom one also.
after that i made a start on the raised mounting area and the quad cannons.
here you can see i've made up the forked mountin for the cannons,i had to use some brass and aluminium roddin,as the local model
shop had run out of evergreen styrene rods in the size i needed.
next i started on the quad cannons,i wanted to build them myself,but i couldn't use my trusty lollysticks...bummer!
so i had some pieces of balsa knockin around the house.so after an hour i had something like this.
i,ve asked a friend to cast it for me,so i've got enough for the top and bottom guns.....cheers j(me daza!)
the end is abit wrongbut i used some filler to adjust the barrel tips.
so i've built pretty much as i can do until me barrels come home...
finally i put all the bits together just to inspire me on how much has been done and how much is left to do.
well thats it for this update,i hope ya like my progress.i think i'm gonna either have a go on the cockpit or the engines next,not to sure as yet.
i have been told that there's a build your own millenium falcon mag,you know issue 1 is £2.99 the next 99 issues are a lot more...
i have had a look at issue 1 and it does look good,so i'm gonna start collectin them...just my luck i get near finishin and they bring out a build
ya own kit...lol..:facepalm
well hope everybody has recovered from yesterdays celebrations..happy new year to all.....cheers peza
