Thanks guys got panel lines
done on the bottom.

If you sand the lines and let
them fill in, especially on this
kit with the color it was molded in,
it will let you see your handy work.
Taking a mulligan on this one the lines ]are not exactly
the same on each side.....LOL But at least there straight
so that's helping me out a bit.......hey it's the bottom
any way right?!

What a mess, oh, and awesome build! Love the details.

Rock on Brother Mike! Rock on!

Ok just about got the bottom knocked out ......
have to add a few bits and those skids that
go at the front on each side

I am not sure .......it's turned into more work than i thought
it would I am sure it's under 60 hrs so far.

Fabulous build! The first pic of the primed ship looks like a CGI render. Excellent work.

Guys this thing is just about wrapped up.....some detail pics
finished the cockpit today. I am hoping a friend can sculpt me a crew,
i do still need to make the rivet depressions along all the panel lines,
but i need to pick up the right scale bit. Thanks guys for the kind words
along the way!

Looking sweet my friend. Now paint that bugger.

Great job!!!

I know I'm nit picking but these are easy fixes, the front vent should be shorter and wider and the rear widows should finish at a point, these are the two details that really jumped at me.

yea I saw that in the reference then i thought i saw it
in another picture......the way the kit had it. I think i
will fix it. I might even widen the canopy frame work
a bit more......thumbsup Yea the front is a bit wide
your right.

Thanks guys:thumbsup

When I worked on this kit many years ago these were some of the fixes, I didn't go no were close to what you did, rescribing ect... i did sand away all the raised details on rear engine blocks, replaced the gun barrels and afew other minor stuff, but yours looks awesome!!

One of the best speeder upgrades I have seen.

Some great work going on there.
Are you going to drill all the little (screw head) holes in the panels?

I really need to dig mine out again and start working on it.

Yes I am going to make all the depressions i have
to pick up some bits though, I don't have one that
would be in scale right now.
