Thin? I find it quit thick enough to work with. Have you cut yours out yet?

Great, post that picture. I will do some finishing up the radar and a few other stuff then making some pictures. Working on 2 Falcon is a bit too much lol.

Yeah, I Googled all day long for a good reference picture, so far no luck. I found the way you've tackle the rack quite nice though. Starkiller can't help either.

Cool! It's a relief to see its possible to lower that cockpit tube detail without having to chisel it away and start over. That makes a huge difference! :thumbsup

I'm very excited about a slow build on this. Personally, I think I would be hesitant to paint it until better images of it emerge

Thanks everyone, did some micro work today.

Finnish the top. New pipelines above the cockpit, loose from the panels as I like them to be.



4 short pipelines.


You can see those two pipes are elevated a bit, I like to see these things look "floated".

Radar structure is one chunky piece of plastic, need to cut away the solid parts. To do so I slice it in two.




Much better?



Let's put it together.

Sqbiedoo, where'd you cut exactly -- vertically right down the middle? You're so good, man, I don't even see the join. I want to start all the stuff you guys are doing. But lowering the cockpit tube details is probably something I'd leave to you experts. That is just sick.
