Hi, guys!
Here is my new recently finished model.
It is a Z-95 Headhunter variant.
I have grabbed inspiration for this build from several sources:
- the Z-95 look from the Clone Wars series, which I, to tell you the truth, prefer more rather then the original design, due to the fact that it now looks way more like a logical middlestep between Incom's ARC-170 and X-Wing designs from the engineering point of view.
- this amazing fan-art also based on the clone wars z-95 design
- and also the outstanding Scott Girvan's 1/32 AMT X-Wing build for the superb painting sceme of Corran Horn's CorSec-green starfighter (I highly encourage you to take a look at more of it's photos here, as it is really a five stars work: http://www.keeperoftheforce.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=140 )
My model had been build from the JPG 1/72 classic Z-95 resin kit, that I have heavily moddified with the parts taken from Revell's ARC-170 and X-Wing fighters, plus lots of different scratch for the Star Wars-ish "guts_on_the_outside" looks.
I've also cut the main resin body of the fighter in halves and hollowed it to provide lighting for the cockpit and the engines (and I should say that was hell, guys - although this little budy is not so big, I was covered with resin dust from the head till the tips of my lower fingers, white like a ghost - no way I'm going to take on something like that once again :mrgreen: )
And here is what I've got in the end:
Thanks for watching!
