Hi all,
I thought that I'd share my little project that I've been working on these past few months. Now that it's starting to take shape it seemed like a good time to post now.
This is a 1:24 "studio scale" model that I'm currently building. The parentheses on the "studio scale" is because there was no such thing. Everything is cgi these days so it's my interpretation as to what it would look like if a filming model was made. The model of the T-70 that is currently sitting in the Launch Bays at the disney parks are slightly bigger from what I remember. The scale that I've chosen to build this in is to reflect the same scale of the original T-65 filming prop used in ANH.
This is my first scratch build of a Star Wars fighter or for that matter any ship. Any criticism is welcome. The main reason as to why I'm building this is to get a bit more experience behind me before I start my studio scale T-65. The other reason was also because there wasn't any available on the market and I quite like the design of the new x wing. The models which are currently available are way too small!
I've attached a few pics but I'll eventually post more up as I progress. Still loads of sanding and filling to do on the body.
