I've been following this kit with great attention. I like the fact the hull is not solid resin.
Kudos to the Nice-N team for this great kit !

Nice kit. I wonder where all the 3-d printing came from. And who did all the clean up on the parts. I know Steve cant do it all himself

"There's Great genius behind all this" - Jules Verne
Generally Steve and Mike both like to use Smooth-On Products.
At the moment, I forget which formula # number but its is great stuff; worth the extra cost.
Good qualities, -It machines and mills nicely, if cast correctly there is no warping and very little shrinkage
Smooth-On is consistent and reliable in it's quaility.
[ no, I did not get any reimbursement from Smooth-on for this post]
It's the Smooth-Cast series 305 and 310 with one or two drops of the Urethane Black dye (also from Smooth-on) to get that nice grey color. ( makes the "finishing" work go a little easier than the stark white)
Of course Mike uses a Pressure pot which does make for better results
Great stuff -with a shore hardness of 70D
Hope this wasn't too off topic ..but that is what the X_1 TIE Kit is cast in
