Hi guys,
The last 6 months found it hard to get the mojo to do much creative but wanted an easy project for over the Christmas holidays. I've wanted to build an Imperial shuttle for a while and picked up the Jazwares toy in our local collectables shop figuring it's a comparable scale to my other 1/72 builds and will make for an easy enough build.
My plan is to keep it simple, thin down the neck, fill some holes and seams, tidy the guns up a bit and fill the cockpit hinge. It wont be perfect but more acceptable.
started with some disassembly.


From the underside of the separated cockpit I cut the front section out and re-attached it to the cockpit upper.


I re-attached the 2 body halves and began on the lower neck. No longer spring loaded but I put the original ramp back in place and filled in the gap on the body.

Then I planned to cut down the original ramp surround but made a mess so a new lower was made and shaped at the end


Next was the lower sides which while not totally correct I added some features to look the part


Next up will be a simple re-assembly of the cockpit. Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Josh
