Hi folks,
Brand new to RPF, so sorry for the newbie question. Loving peoples' work around here
I was a keen kit-modeller back in the day, but have been out of the hobby now for many years. I'm keen to get back into it, and thought I'd try my hand at scratch-building some classic Star Wars ships - maybe starting with a TIE Fighter (TIE/ln) or an X-Wing from Episode IV. I'm on a tight budget (grrrr), so I'm probably restricted to constructing models from cardboard, foam and found objects at this stage, rather than kit-bashing or 3D printing.
Couple o' questions:
- Can anyone recommend good templates or instructions for scratch-building a TIE Fighter or X-Wing from such materials?
- Failing that, can anyone recommend resources for good Star Wars blueprints, dimensions, cross-sections and/or reference photos? Are there any freely available? Maybe that way I could hash out my own templates...
Cheers,
Rofey
