1/72 STar Wars Howlfighter

Interesting paint scheme you're considering. It reminds me very much of the art of a 70's British sci-fi artist.

;D ;D ;D

 

[Tanker52]

Interesting scratch build you are starting here. This is cool.

 

[Dark Kyp]

Thanks a lot guys

 

[The Model Dude]

I think that color scheme will look awesome on this ship when it is done!

 

[LrdSatyr8]

This is gonna be an awesome ship when it's done... but one question... why didn't you use a speed stick container rather than a dove container... speed stick sides are pretty straight where the dove one is curved inward. Love the cockpit so far bro!

 

[Dark Kyp]

I don't know, thoses curves looked pretty good to me... of course now that I'm working on it it lookrsd really hard ;D

Here are the next moves:

I ended the cockpit and installed optic fibers in it:

Here it is in place:

Modified a pilot to fit in it, and tried to ad some bubles like on the empire helmet:

Here is another special donnor kit, for the power input:

LEDs on test:

Main reactor under construction:

Here is a first shot of the front:

Interesting detail work coming in here.

 

[Glorfindel]

I like where your going with this. I think the paint scheme will be great.

 

[LrdSatyr8]

Coming together quite nicely bro. Can't wait to see more!

 

[ModelMakerMike]

She's coming together, and yes, it will be nice to watch that happen.

 

[Dark Kyp]

Thanks guys!

 

[Grendels]

Interesting, and nice bit of work.

 

[Dark Kyp]

Thanks Grendels

Here are some news:

I glued the parts on the front head. This part remain movable until the end to allow the installation of the light up.

The dremel have been used to open the front hood!

 

[Solander]

Cool! I already think this is going to look awesome when done standing next to the 72th x-wing and y-wing.

 

[TRM]

Kewl Stuff!!! ;D ;D ;D

 

[Dark Kyp]

Thanks Guys!

I've been quiet those weeks, but I've made some moves!

Painted the pilot and creating the motors light up!

Wings are cut and ready to get glued!

 

[Grendels]
