Randy Cooper Blockade Runner

[Jaitea]

Hi folks,

This is a commission build of Randy Coopers 27” Rebel Blockade Runner, it’s a great kit although when I was given it it was already painted, with a pretty thick layer of paint!
I had to strip the model back to the resin, unfortunately some of Randy’s greeblie work was destroyed, so I had to redo some of the detailing

it’s lit with a 12v power supply, cockpit & engines

Thanks for looking

John

Thanks for the reference photos, yes, nice clean panel lines!!

He wants this one done as the Return of the Jedi repaint, think its more of a salmon/orange instead of red

Jaitea, you did such a great repaint job. Compared to the studio model original, your paint job is miles better. Do you think they will let you repaint the original.

John, I will be curious on what you think of the new runner. I have eyed that kit for a long time.

Looking forward to this build!

Ha, thanks Bauble, no, the original was painted by gods as far as I’m concerned

Looking forward to this build!

I’ve actually built the Korbanth before for a friend with pirate ship modifications, I’ll post images in another thread possibly

It’s a great kit, everything fits really well, I didn’t get to paint that last one, just build only up to primer coat

Jaitea,
You do incredible work, awesome weathering, superb photgraphy.

Your charge for learned skills & craftsmanship are well earned given the benchmark this site places on high quality work. Brand new to to this site, but it has not taken me long to appreciate the fact that many of these models are works of art created by professionals. Try as I may over many years in the hobby to create respectable models, talent like this is a bridge too far. I am sure your customer is delighted and smart to recognize it.
