Incredible work, John!
Very well done so far. It feels to me like with this one You've outbid yourself in the means of preshading/prime-painting. Thumbs up!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks guys! I e got the remaining stowage on (there's some left over....dio? Lol) and the landing gear. I've sprayed it with a satin coat ready for weathering! ;D


Cheers guys!

Amazing John

A LOT of stowage there

At first, I was ignoring the build thinking it was just another amazing resin kit you do.........well I was right. This thing is SWEEEEEEET! I'll be following it now for sure! Didnt think there would be a kit made for this since it has such a glancing appearance in the movies.

 

[Neo]

Quite impreesive

how big is this thing?

AMT did a Rebel Base kit which included this ship.

Though it doesn't look as big as this one John's building here.

Yeah that old AMT/Ertl/MPC kit is about 1/400---give or take-- and is about 8". THIS kit @ 1/144 is 25".

This is looking really cool John, very nice model.

 

[Glorfindel]

Awesome work John. The bottom looks like the top deck of a cargo ship. Clearly the look the designers were going for.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Oh yeah... not long now!

Yup the hull is almost there!

Amazing John

Thanks man!

A LOT of stowage there

Yeah the Rebels always had overweight luggage charges.

Thanks man appreciate it. Yeah very short screen time but still a classic Star Wars ship.

Looking forward to the video man. I'm sure it'll be great. I'll just watch with the sound turned off.

jk.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Ha that might be the best thing to do! Hopefully youtube has crushed all the HD and you wont be able to see anything I'm doing :

 

[Junkie]

Man that's a great video. Make more.

 

[Glorfindel]

John it looks great. Your video is fine and I love the way you show the use of the AK products. The kit looks great too. I've watched Mig use his products and now I've seen you use them too and now you guys have put my mind to ease because that's the same way I've used them. Seriously thanks for posting that. Scott's right, more videos man.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Lol thanks guys you've made me feel better about it!

 

[Tailor]

Nice work there, man! This thing is looking so cool!
Do I get this right? You just put oin the pigments and don't fix them with mineral spirit? How do you prevent them from falling off? What happens, when you have to dust your model off?
