This kit is decent, but not great. Mostly, the front nose mandible area is very inaccurate. To that end, I 3d modeled and printed some replacement "tusks" to accurzie the front side. I have also now completely painted the top of the hull. Here are some pics.

I have this kit sitting in my stash and I've been wondering what to do with it. This is both fantastic inspiration.... and a bit disappointing as I don't think I could make mine look this great.

2 questions:

1. Would you consider selling a kit of those 3D printed parts?
2. What are those airbrush texture stencils you used? Purchased or made?

I plan to offer the 3D printed parts on Shapeways if anyone wants them. I have another set of parts for other parts of the model, and I want to make sure they fit before I offer them to others.

These are the airbrush texture stencils I used...

That was a lot of paint work to say the least. Reminds me of painting a Slave 1. Your end result is pure gold. Fantastic looking job!
