Thanks guys, here's a couple more quick shots. I only have till Tuesday to finish her up so I'll get my skates on. I reckon a good full day should do it????
The low light really makes it look a bit flat but when she's done I'll take lots of good pic's.

Re: X-Wing Madness. One more day!
Thanks for all your incredibly kind words fellas, Its not over till its over but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. All I ever wanted for this is to be as good as I can do with the ref I have. There are so many skills I've yet to learn such as washes & filters that I just dont understand yet. One thing with this build I still haven't worked out how to do is dust with water stains, after years of sitting on a shelf a fine layer of dust has built up & at some point water has dripped from a great hight then more dust on top. I'm guessing thats whats happened but I want to do it if possible, any ideas would be ace? I'm worried about dull coat as it has lost some pastel work in the past for me & some of it is really subtle but important to the look??? I may give it a little blast of dull coat then splat it with enamel thinners mixed with pastel, or add the pastel as dust then splat with water, need to do some tests but it wont be for a while, unless I don't go to bed for 2 days? Hmmmmmmm!
Lee, both equally:lol, of to the florist tomorrow. Your very correct bud, I have almost been selfish with my time on this build I just had to get it done before I go & its taken up most of my free time over the past couple of weeks. Michelle has been brilliant in not hasseling me & putting up with my constant obsession with this Red 3. I will make it up to her, I was thinking I could send her over to Juliens for a few days while I finish it???lol:lol

Re: X-Wing Madness. One more day!
The pressure is on now, I have not much time left, been working on the tie in of it all & some important weathering area's that I had not yet started. The back end being the most obvious. I've decided I just cant do little figures so I would like to commission someone to paint the R2 & pilot for me, if anyone can recommend someone in the UK that would be ace but as long as they can do a great job I dont mind spending the cash.
Please pm me if your interested?

That is one of the most amazing builds I've ever seen. I am continually in awe of your painting and weathering abilities.
You're a big inspiration.

Hi mike I think the the top wings might be at a greater angle than the bottom ones? If you look at the pic of the back of my X the top wings do the to 2 wings look like they may be too high, I'm not that sure? On the wing mounts I have them fixed to the top hull & there is a gap between the wing mounts at the bottom hull, should it be the other way round or another way completely?
