Rebel Transport scratchbuild.

Scott, yes, a steeper curve in the nose, still not as much as the form will allow, but a lot closer.
Belly plates had a lot of meat trimmed off at the front and inner front, more slimmer/swooping in contour and i heated the front tips up to curve them in more....the lower plates also were moved quite a way back, giving the nose more length.

Martyn....ah whatever...now, where's that hose :lol

Hehe. In all honesty, Lee, I'm a little jealous. I haven't got any further with mine in ages despite having a proper work area now. And you've improved those areas markedly, which leaves me with nothing to one-up you on, lol.

Seriously, it looks great. Clear improvements. :thumbsup

There are two pictures of the transport in the new book "Making of the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK", but they are very tiny.

Everything i wanted too see in that book is either missing or tiny buddy lol, i wanted Ion cannon ref too but that got totally ignored and just a tiny background shot printed...... Im still gonna build it though!

Fabulous work there. Any progress happening yet? Keep it up!

Not as yet, needed some time out from it. Ill get to it someday, just need to wrap up a couple of builds, so the Transport gets full attention again.
