My first attempt at such a tiny model and my first use of an airbrush
The only changes i made was to make the Wave Motion Gun deeper. The original moulding was only about 3mm deep. i couldnt get anything to fit in the front of the hull, so I filled the tip with scuplting plasticine, pushed a scuplting tool of the right shape in, and then applied glue to the pressed shape so it would stay in place. Crude, but sucessful..

The white spots that you can see, you can barely see them with the naked eye. It was only after the photos were taken that I went and looked for them.. grrrr
 
Nice work on that little bitty guy.
I remember doing that one. Lost the main thruster on mine
