It's a fantastic kit with a TON of incredible AA guns that cover all of it's firing arcs!
Truly, any STARFIGHTER pilots strafing this ship had better have the Force in their side!
Had a GREAT day off- Modeling and decaling and listening to a great audiobook (Paradox by Peter Clines).
Got the Carrick all complete besides the oil wash- after adding all her many many AA guns....
And I painted the tiny Dornean Gunships too (even added some guns like Nick's awesome build and a big set of sensor dishes to the other).
(pardon my messy workbench!)
Carrick gunships and Strike cruiser in the background.
You can see all the Carrick's guns on display, as well as the larger guns I've added.
I also added an observation/command pod with a bunch of windows.
I just thought it needed a bit of vertical design elements stemming up from the dorsal side, as the lower sensor dish does for the ventral side. Might still add some additional antenna and sensors after I give her the oil wash tomorrow.
Oh! All the decals are mine- custom printed and sourced from the many decal elements and things I made in Adobe Illustrator.
The Rebel Alliance emblem I made by combining the RA emblem with the old Clone Wars circle.
The devil image at the ship's bow is from the card game Sabbac- it's called "The Evil One" and I added it in the traditional use of cards on WWII bombers.
I just think it gives it character.
