Okay Friends, Thanks for the likes and comments always needed. So there will be lots more work done on these guys, you can't really see them under the canopy that well but I will put more time in the detail on them. Also this droid seems a bit rough but its going to be a bit lazer hit as the gunner is. I had a bunch of running to do for wifey today not much shop time, however I have been studying all these elements and looking for bits and gathering these bits. I have been figuring out the droid bits and the gunners gun and how his controls will look after taking a lazer hit. under the skin of the ship where the lazer strike has torn away the metal has to have some detailing as well. Wow what have I gotten meself into it will all come together I hope well see lots more to do and share I will have a whole day in the morning starting out with the droid lots more to happen Thanks Jim
