Well done sir. Is the yellow striping movie correct or your own touch?

Thanks, guys.

The yellow striping is based on a lot of studio scale builds that I looked at by builders on this site. The yellow should actually be more of a mustard shade, which it is in person, looks much brighter in the photos. Actually, the canopy color is what I wanted all of the yellow to look like, it's spot-on for what I was going for. It's the same yellow on the canopy and fuselage, but the canopy is over black undercoat, while the fuselage is over the gray. Have to do that differently next time.

The large clamps were for the only real fit issue I had on the kit: the nose cone and the butt plates fit, but had some gaps. Lots of liquid cement and a night in the clamps fixed that!

Absolutely stunning! I saved the pics and altered them so the yellow was more mustard.....if this is how it looks in real life!!!! WOW!!!!! Very impressed!

Thanks!

The droid is from a long out of production resin set that Starship Modeler used to sell. I talk about it and have some photos of the set on my website: Devin J. Poore
