Kuhn Global HERO RED 5 by Hand Solo

[Kuhn Global]

Another beastie arrived today!

The Hero RED 5 by Bob (Hand Solo)!

Let’s just say it has some unique attributes…. Such as an R2 unit with repair arm extended, and a rebuilt cockpit that matches the ‘full sized’ beasties, not to mention a Luke pilot figure that is adjusting his ‘targeting’ computer!

I am absolutely pleased! Bob did a WONDERFUL job!!!

Once again I made an amateur attempt at photographing this beastie and had limited success with my poor lighting techniques, but it still shows well! I experimented with a different color background as well!

I felt compelled to take some shots of both the new beasties together… RED 3 and RED 5!

As I usually state… I will get all the pieces professionally photographed soon enough. I apologize for my “on-the-fly” technique. It gives me a chance to really look and admire the pieces myself before placing them in an area that I maybe spend 15-20 minutes in each day. I hope to correct that soon.

Thank you Bob for producing another fine piece into the collection!

Next up… RED 2… again by Bob (Hand Solo), and then possibly a 1/650 Enterprise 1701-D by REL!

Wow!! Beautiful job on those SS X-Wing Models!!

Thank you! And agreed! Both Bob (Hand Solo) and Richard (REL) did FANTASTIC work on these beasties!

I am thrilled and I am very much looking forward to the other 4 birds they are doing for the collection. (Reds 1, 2, 4, and 6)

It should make a very nice display with a DS trench seen and overhead dogfighting.

LOLOLOL.... I have been known to exhibit Borg-like qualities from time to time. ASIMILATION....LOLOLOL.

I know I sound like a skipping record Greg... and I couldn't agree with you more! I believe Bob placed some heart in that build as well! I look forward to his RED 2 build this coming month!

Goyjus! :cool

Wow, awesome! The X wing is just such a cool ship. I gotta say seeing your pics makes me want to start dabbling in SS modeling.

What I want to see is the display room where you keep all these ships you've got!

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

Those are incredible additions to any collection, Kuhn. I am drooling just looking at them. I can't even begin to express how cool the finished pieces look.

 

[stonky]

I'm curious - having X-wings painted by two different artists side by side, how close are the colors to each other?

 

[Bryancd]

They look awesome!!!!!

Say, why do refer to everything as a beastie?

 

[streetjudge79]

Someone looks like a happy camper. Dude, where do you have room for all these "beasties"?

 

[PHArchivist]

This image is AWESOME -- straight out of ILM!!

 

[Pauleysolo]

[Hand Solo]

Awww... thanks guys! :$ This one was real fun to do, but detail-intensive since Red Five has some of the best known features of all the birds.

 

[INCOM]

By far the best Red 5 I've seen. Awesome!

 

[OldKen]

Way cooler than what we wouldve probably gotten from MR, and whats sad is it was probably cheaper with WAAAAY better of a paintjob and buildup than we couldve hoped for from them!

Awesome acuisition to Khun and awesome job Hand!

This would deffinately quench my X-wing SS thirst! Deffinately high on the list of wants. :love

Awesome job Bob, and that pic looks like something right out of ILM. Of course, Bob didn't have an Ak-47 pointed at his head if he didn't make 20 0f them a day like the Chinese workers that make the MR stuff, so he could take his time and do it right.
