Hey Everyone, long time lurker, first time poster here. All the works here are so inspiring, I have stolen some great ideas from you all here. I've often had a problem completing kits - I get them about 80% of what I want and then lose steam. But not here, not now! Here are some pictures of my Star Wars, Rogue One U-Wing build up of the Revell ~1/100 Easy Kit. It comes from the factory painted with lights and sounds. I can't tell you how many times I hit that stupid actuator button and had to sit through the cheesy laser beam pew pew sounds and the hyperdive ignition when trying to focus on detailing the this. Yet, I digress, the original for some unknown reason came missing the rear radiator baffles seen on the CGI prop. But I was able to find some on Shapeways at https://www.shapeways.com/product/Z8NQ7PKAV/u-wing-radiator?optionId=70606139&li=marketplace which really beefed up the look. Also, I added some corrugated pla plate to cover up the ugly speaker hole and battery access hatch on the bottom of the kit. Further, I decided to add some splinter camo and grime it up. I hope you like it. C&C welcome. Enjoy!

LOL! Never seen that GIF before. Regarding the way I entered my images, does that seem like the best way, or should I have inserted them full size?
 
Ho Ho -- IDK , I use Imgur and prefer linking them in full size .
I don't upload direct to SMA so I don't know how it works .

Gotcha. It gave me the chance to show the full image or the thumbnail. I just selected thumbnail. In the future, I'll use the full image option. Thanks for the info.
 
Thanks, Kyp. Shapeways also has replacement engine nozzles as well as landing gear for the U-Wing. They really dress up the kit.
