I never seem to have the time to build stuff although I spend a lot of time here living vicariously....
Being a perfectionist by nature I’ve been caught in the loop that by the time I’ve got the time to create my ‘grail collection’ of Studio Scale Star Wars ships, it will take me so long to build my skills back to where I’m competent that I’ll be dead.
So last year I commissioned Andy (flyscriber) to build my Salzo Mk IV X-Wing as Red 5. The results were perfect and exactly what I wanted.
So now everything has to meet that standard. Which means Andy’s going to be getting a lot of resin from me over the next few years.
This year, the choice was Nice-N (via Mike Salzo) Y Wing, or Nice-N TIE Advanced. To keep balance in the Force, we went with the TIE Advanced. The idea was that it would be a quick and easy build as the subject matter isn’t madly complex, and the kit was very modern.
There are a few other fellow travellers with this replica who might recognise some challenges. Here’s the story spread over loads of posts.
(Note that Andy’s camera tends to have a pink caste towards the centre of the frame.)
