hi guys, sorry for lack of updates recently. work has been stupidly busy and i've had a few weekends away from home. but i managed to get a little bit done on the inner jaw box area, but with no luck finding any good reference pics i ended up having to use other modellers work as reference, specifically randy coopers.
randy coopers.
as you can probably tell my falcon isn't screen accurate.
I'm going for a more functional look
.
any way here are the pics of where I'm at with these at the moment. enjoy.
will hopefully get some more done to these this week.

i managed to get a little more done to inner jaw boxes and back wall this week. also, i sprayed the main hull with adhesion aid, in preperation for adding the missing hull plates, once i cut them out
back wall,
upper plate
lower plate.
so I'm slowly getting there
one question, what adhesives would you guys recommend for sticking styreen to this plastic?
thanks for looking

hi fellas,
i finally got round to doing some priming today, thought id share my progress
I'm very pleased with how they turned out!
but now of course, im debating weather or not to buy randy coopers upgrade kit or just bite the bullet and scratch build the sidewalls? hmm...
cheers for looking

thanks Astro
i wish!!small update,
i added some small details to the back wall of the jaw-box, just to start blending it into the inner mandible walls.
(sorry about the strange angles on my pictures, i use my iPhone, and when i upload them to my PC to post, windows doesn't keep the correct orientation??)also i thought these might work for the 6 engine fan/vent wells. (they're just taped in place at the moment)
they were originally plug hole strainers, which i picked up in pound land
almost a perfect fit too!cheers.

Thank you sir
I'll probably add some fan like thing to sit at the bottom. Since I started this project, I am now constantly on the look out for any thing that I could use for it lol.

Hi guys,
Work was a little slow today, so i got to play with our laser cutter
i made the ring out of 1.5mm plywood, the mesh is screen door mesh, too big i know, but will do until i can find another alternative!
what do you guys think? could use your expert opinions please
Cheers.

Hi darth, my build is on hold while I'm away soaking up the sun in Greece. But it's never far from my thoughts! Thanks for your interest, I look forward to seeing your build!

Hmmmm that is very very interesting I might take you up on those Neo, I do have an idea that I was working on ( no pictures yet tho ) Im planning on knocking one up when I get back in sept. And if it looks crap I'll probably contact you via DM? I love the detail in yours!! Good work there m8.
Edit.
Also (while I think about it ) I've been toying with idea of moulding and casting alot lately, as I'm quickly using up my collection of Greeblies. Could i ask what resins you use and also what do you use to make your molds? Ive never done any moulding or casting before, so any advice you could provide would gratefully received!
Cheers

I'm sorry to bother you, but I am loving what you have done with the scratch building / Kit bashing to make these pieces. Could you shed some light on what model kits you pulled from to create the box jaws... Very inspiring...
