1/24 scale Ralph McQuarrie concept X-Wing scratchbuild

[REL]

Thanks everyone.

I toned down the engine thrusters a little bit with the base color, they were kind of overbearing to me.

WOW! Looks even better in paint!

Richard,
Thank you so much for offering this fantastic model. My package arrived today, and she's beautiful. I admire many things about you. Your ability to translate 2-d to 3-d, that you test & refine your kits, and that you add extras like decals & masks which really are cherries on top. This kit is a sincere bargain, and already cherished. :love

Take care,
Mike

Congrads on getting your kit. I feel like an impatient child waiting for mine.

Looks awesome Richard!
Is that an unfinished E-wing at the shelves I spot in the background??

 

[REL]

Thanks everyone. Mike, I'm very happy you're happy with the kit, thanks for the kind words.

Moes, that's this project here that I started for myself but never have the time to work on.

Anyone else get their kit?

Can you give me the name you bought it under? I only have a few left to ship out, in order.

Thanks

Another thing. I honestly can't find the time to build one up for Ralph, I hate to be that way. If anyone wants to volunteer I will send them the kit to do it, I would more than love to see him have one.

 

[moffeaton]

I'm still happy to do so, like I mentioned earlier

 

[REL]

Jason,

I guess I missed it. I can't think of anyone better, cool!

I mentioned earlier I'd help donate cash (nothing to retire on, but might help cover a latte and shipping) if it is a go.

I had chatted with you on the phone about it when you were still mastering the patterns... looks like it's a go, so he's going to send me a set of parts to work with, and I'll build 'er up all pretty like. Will be nice practice for mine, too!

My question is - once it's done, I assume someone with the right contact will be able to help facilitate the handing off to Mr. McQuarrie? Maybe Chris Trevas? Anyone here know Ralph?

I would contact the guys at Dreams & Visions Press. They could probably tell you whether it could be handed off to Ralph or not.

Sweet deal.

 

[ironguts]

Dang I just saw this - REL - I paid up a while ago - under Carl (ironguts). I'll PM you my payment particulars but I have not received a kit yet. You did confirm via PM that you got my payment in full.

Since I saw the signs of a failing mold, I went ahead and made a new one for the body so no one will get a soft or worn out casting.

Thanks
