Awesome! Looking forward to seeing this in about two weeks!

Man, I wish I knew about all the tricks you mentioned when I was building mine! I’d have to break to many parts to do those things now. Oh well.

Looking really good! Like you, I always dread the weathering part, and I probably don’t do enough when I do it, but it always ends up turning out better than I expected. I’m sure yours will turn out fantastic also! Can’t wait to see it finished!! For the base, I didn’t have any mounts placed on...

Very cool! My kit is resin and not cast by me, so pressure doesn’t really work on mine... plus I broke one of the tips of the wings where it pivots and I had to put a pin in it just to keep it together, so i’d be afraid that it would break with that added pressure. Are the decals you have from...

Thanks! Glad I could help you figure it out even if it was inadvertently! [emoji23] Do your wings stay open if you stand it up so the main wing is up and down? Mine won’t, but I’d like that option... I just haven’t figured out a way to do that yet. Do you have any decals for yours? I wish I...

Looking great! What gauge wire did you use?

Great info all around and love that Red 2 had the Tie Fighter on the nose and most of us never knew that until now! Very cool!!

These look fantastic! Really nice paint apps too!

Is this the book you speak of?

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it!

Very nicely done! What color paints did you use? I was expecting there to be more yellow... is that the difference between the pyro version and the hero version? I’ve got a Salzo v5 Red 2 kit that I’m going to build one of these days and I’m trying to figure it all out. Any help would be...

Love this ship! I built a 1:24 scale b-wing last year and it is huge! Here it is next to the EFX Tie Fighter. I need to get some decals for it... anyone know where I can get a set?

Awesome! I love watching these updates!
