Ok I can tell she's finished now (the only missing part is the small entex part).
I bought the Titan 90 in April, it was posted by the seller 2 days after I paid (april) and I received it... last week. (from the US) :angry
I bought the 1/20 JPS and... I received a wrong kit, the 1/20 Ferrari 312T3. The seller was fair enought and told me to keep the kit and that he will send another. It arrived 4 days later (always from the US, with the standard airmail option, just like the Titan... 4 days... 4 months... Go figure !).
I'm not 100% satisfied with the paintjob, if I could have another take, I would do the stains differently. But I dont want to ruin the paintjob so I will leave her like she is.
I've added the 2 last parts from the Titan 90 suspension part and the JPS intake. I put the hoses in place (the clear ones are too thin, they come from the 1/12 Tamiya Formula One kits but that's obviously not what they used, should be 0.3-0.5 thicker, but I'll have to leave with that
And I can replace them in the future if I can find the right ones.
Now the pics :
There was a shiny sunlight so I thought it was the right moment to take some pics. Of course the time I bring the stuff indoor there were big clouds. Now the sun is shinning again.
The bottom point of this thread is that the TESB is a fun and easy build. It can be quick once you got the head done, you just have to cut and glue a few kitparts. The hardest point is to figure how parts were assembled and cut, mainly on the upper non hero leg, as the reference pics are not clear. The paintjob is IMHO the hardest part of this build as it's a uniform light gray, easy to have a flat finish as result, which is not what you want of course (the ILM paintjob is way more subtle, lots of modulation
) that means a lot of washes with several colors, the airbrushing weathering is minimal).
Thanks again to Allan for the first draft of plans, Quincy for this awesome V2 armature and Jason for the ref pics.
