Re: CAPTAINCOX Slave 1 Hasbro Mod
Making great progress, Cap't! Appreciate you sharing your 'journey'; you are certainly setting the bar high! Seeing your work, I must wonder how the ILM crew did the chipping effects on the original.
Aside, while slowly working up the 'replacement wings' templates, I have found that Hasbro made a lot of simplifications on the toy parts (proportions are generally fair, but the wing details are a real 'scrambled egg'.) Checking out mktodd's Fine Molds build, I was intrigued to see that some of the same 'shape' issues appear in that kit as well. Indeed, it appears that Hasbro based a lot of the toy details on the FM kit! (This may have already been noted by others...)
If so, then I must see what evaluations of the FM kit say about it's fidelity & see if Hasbro has other areas needing correction because of the design reference of the FM kit.
In any case, back to the regular awesome program!
Regards, Robert
