Re: X Factor
A bit more progress...
Added a bit more shading to the engines, though they still need work. Tried to tone down the green on the forward fuselage. Added more weathering in general. Trying to find just the right balance of weathering on all areas of the ship is tricky.

Re: X Factor
Took a small cheat...
The insides of the engine cans offer no representation of the heat sinks whatsoever (the large 1:29 kit does).
So I just printed out some pictures of the original and stuck them in.

Re: X Factor
Nearly done. Just need to re-paint the blue on the R2. The pre-painted version has the blue too light.

Spectacular work Rob! The weathering is perfectly done, very balanced, which is something difficult to do on a smaller scale model like that. I'm jealous.

I was just wondering how many of these do you own.....but I see it was already answered on the last age...
You should make an amazing diorama or something.
....or at least for fun, set up a line of the x-wings, with the small ones far away with the wings opening up.....and now if you only had a death star to go in the background......

Wow you've definitely mastered the ILM painting method - whatever the secret to that is. Photo 9 for example looks like something straight out of the Sculpting a Galaxy book.

"Ron" 'Reacted' to this thread today (very much appreciated!)
Am replying to a nine-year-old thread as I have just YESTERDAY retained possession of all my X-wing models, including this one...
To Ron - thank you!

Still need to make a diorama, now that you have them.
Guessing you still haven't gotten the death star though....I would probably want that over most all the rest....of course, probably the hardest one to transport anywhere.
