3d, this turning out awesome. That is a ton of pain staking work but it really shows. Great job. I also love the detailed explanations of what you are doing and how you are doing it. For a novice like me, I find the " how to do this" information very informative and helpful. Thanks and stay with it.

Will do and thank you!:thumbsup

Nothing special i use my Exacto-knife, but i
break off the VERY end of the tip. Then i place
the cutting edge up when i do the scribing.

So it kind of looks like this....

Oh and just so you know scribing panel lines is 100%
technique, you dont have to be a master modeler to do
it!:lol But you do have to sit down and practice! So its very
possible to have glue all over your model and have beautiful
panel lines.......:lol

Ok carved out the other side windows then
got started on the front and top windows.

Exacto blade works just fine for rough drilling
of pilot holes!:lol

Wow if i had a twin i would really be in trouble!!!:lol
Well that would be cool could send one to go out running
while i build, then when he gets back send him off to work
even better!thumbsup

I'm hearing the engine sound in my head looking at the pics... is that normal?

I'm loving this so far, Snowspeeders are one of my favorite SW vehicles.

The lower hull is a bit flimsey so got some
Z-poxy and some fiberglass mat. Thanks to
Modman06 for bothering me o finally do it!:lol

Placed the template on top of the mat over
the part and just traced it.

Then the fiberglass cloth was cut and the Z-poxy was
brushed over it. I need to get a little better at it, but since this side
is 100% un-seen its not that important.thumbsup

Its super strong now and i have no problem
handeling it, so mission complete!:thumbsup
