Hello everyone, long time no see :(

But now I am back :)

After looking at the diverse offerings for large "ish" scale Slave 1 I have settled on the Revell one.

The build will include the paint scheme seen in the Mandalorian and accuracy mods according to the show (mainly in the cockpit).

My kit is on the way so I will start on it soon.

Dont hesitate to join me and MTFBWYA :)

Nav chairs test print went well, will show you them once assembled and painted with the pilot chair / chairs too :)

After I took a second look at what I can see of the motors I opted for a second look for it :) Printed in halves for easy instal.

Joining the two shells seamless was a pain since they had about 1mm miss alignement.

But I managed to do it and rescribed lost pannels lines, then applied the distressed base coat :

I am now way more pleased with the shade and wethering on the wing bells and will use the same method on the green area of the spine then mat varnish to blend in.

Little rectangle, decals and mat varnish next. Happy modeling my friends :)
 
This base you see me working on will only serve to help for the next painting stages and a temporary "display".
Due to the weight added by the internal metal armature I have to go back to the drawing board for the final display base but I of course can still use the same mounting point.

For thoose who want I have condensed all the previous progress made in one video :)



More progress to comme once the cold is bearable in the shop ;)

Stay safe everyone :) And happy new year !!!
 
It is looking very good, the extra work you are going to to make it more screen accurate for the timeline will be well worth it. I the the Revell is one of the few kits I don't have for the Slave I. I have three different Fine Mold, I think two different Bandai and an old MPC at least. Along with some doubles. This is making me want to jump on one of mine, but no chance till I at least finish my A-A5 Speeder Truck.
Anyway looking great BenHobbie. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
