[yaris]

An excellent build with super fine attention to detail.

Well done, looks fantastic and looking forward to seeing it painted and in flight...!!

Pipes are finished.

 

[Studio Kitbash]

Piping perfection!

Also, I love how you've laid it out on a pink towel like a baby after a bath about to get pajamas put on...

 

[ID10T]

Totally tubular!

My red jammer base was black then white

Yes yes - I guess the main point is that the starting point before building up the weathering layer by layer and wash by wash is white.

You’re on it, no worries!

Looking forward to watching the process!

Gah - she is a thing of beauty -- it never gets old, and each time you build one, I think, "I really should build one too."

Very inspiring.

Question: Does Gold Leader have Holgate & Reynolds all over the engine cans the way Red Jammer did?

It has some on the cans. But not nearly as much ( my opinion) as Red Jammer.

Feast for the eyes. Beautiful greeblies. They simply beg me name them and to identify where else ILM used those same kit parts on their models. Superb detail.

Very nice looking. Good job. Have fun painting.

 

[dtssyst]

Today I did a few tweaks and added a couple of greeblies that I missed.
I'm hopeful to start priming on Saturday.
The weather has been holding me back (rain).

 

[dtssyst]

This is where the magic starts.

 

[Studio Kitbash]

AMAZING trick of the eye...

Unpainted, she looks fat, short, stubby.

Painted black, she looks long, slim, sleek, and fast, like she just made the jump to hyperspace...

 

[dtssyst]

Hopefully the start of something beautiful.

 

[joberg]

Gonna be a beaut'

 

[dtssyst]

I started with one color. Realizing I needed to do other colors first. So, I'll be taking my time on this one. I do not expect to match the original by any means. Hopefully will still be a good representation.
