Hey guys, how's it going? Allan, coming along very nicely. It looks like you'll be ready for paint soon. I do agree with Allan on the removable panel on the canopy, I don't believe it is supposed to be flush. The way I see it is that the canopy itself is made of 1.5mm styrene and the removable panel is 2mm giving you a .5mm difference which accounts for the slight raise in comparison to the rest of the canopy. The reason I believe that was the intentional design is because of Rogue 2, whose panel does not seem to be removable nor can I see a mounting point on that model under that area. The panel seems to be a piece of styrene about .020" or .5mm just like the other armor overlays on the rest of the model. One other little observation. I know there is a lot of confidence in the 3D scanning equipment used to scan some of these models but as a 3D artist I can tell you they are not 100% accurate. What happens is that beams of light are pointed at the model and those points are translated to a point in 3d space on the computer. The next thing is the computer joins the points, kind of connect the dots like, to come up with a wireframe. The problem is there is quite a bit of interpolation the computer has to do between the dots, it basically guesses. Also some points intersect surfaces. It's difficult for the computer to read that. I found quite a few errors on the snowspeeder including the canopy, cannons, and there are quite a few more. Also interesting is that MR chose to make their model as the prop stands now, which is disappointingly, in bad shape. The top and bottom hulls are split open. MR decided to replicate this, their speeder is also split. There is also a missing panel on the rear next to the engine box on the left side, MR left that out. The harpoon gun is broken off but MR added one anyway which is totally incorrect. I'm assuming they just guessed at what it looked like. Also on the prop there are a couple of engine fins gone but MR added those. Time has not been kind to this model, Rogue 2 on the other hand is in good shape, probably explains why this model does the shows. Sorry for the long reply.
