Fantastic plastic 1/4050 basestar

[cylon75]

Hi, i just got my base star from FP yesterday and i started the build today. 1st i wanted to do the battle damage version and was happy to here it came with 3 battle damage arms that you could use if you wanted to make the season 4 rebel ship .How ever they cant be used for that because the damaged arms are done in the wrong ones and they are not interchangeable. So i am making my own from screen caps from season 4.5.
The kit is a nice kit otherwise ,1st i made my own raider slots by burning them in with a soldering iron that i adapted the tip for.Than i used the same thing to do window spots.Than i mapped the damage to the screen caps and did the work to them to make it look the same.That is all for to day.

Here's assorted picture of the progress so far:
