hah, looking great! It's really easy to make the mental image that your hand is four feet across, rather than this being studio scale. Superb work!

Again, very nice. Am looking forward to seeing the completed project. I would sure like to find a kit like this to work on and place into my collection ??????

I can't wait to finish this - it's calling from the corner as I type this :lol

I'm wrapping up a paint master right now, and as soon as it's out the door I switch back to the 'speeder, at least until the next paint master hits. It's a really nice problem to have, so no complaints!

I have recently drafted a template I will laser cut out of 1/16th acrylic to use as a guide when cutting the panel line masks - I'm pretty happy how that problem was solved. On the 1:1 Landspeeder, the panel lines are very wide and shallow, so I decided the best way to tackle that is to mask them off with tape, and then do a few passes with sandable primer. Getting the curves right was gonna be a bear, but then I realized I have the original cad data, and I just went from that to describe the curves - voila!

Those look very neat and tidy. Masking tape?

 

[moffeaton]

Tamiya tape! They just need a minor touch up here and there, some light sanding over all, and then I attack it with a Dremel for battle damage.

Beautiful crisp lines Jason...looking forward to seeing some more.

 

[SteveStarkiller]
