Re: 1/35 X-wing

That level of detail is impresionante (awesome),

I don´t know very much about X-wings & Star Wars "Universe" (Sci Fi modelling included), but I think I´m able enough to recognize when something is well above the standards ...

This X-wing is going masterpiece, as far as I can appreciate, Scott...

Modeller´s patience pays profits with an interest rate proportional to the degree of methodicity & perseverance involved in the model... ... WOW ;D I think I´ve been able to write that in English !!!

Slow food, no hurries...

A great model, Scott
Thanks for sharing, man

Re: 1/35 X-wing

Wow guys. Not sure if it's because of the orange toque...but I appreciate all the love.

I'm no expert nor to I claim to be. I'm just learning as I go.

I don't want to try and mimic the ILM paint jobs. I want to try and use paint and weathering techniques that appear as believable and realistic as possible. Not that the ILM paint jobs aren't awesome, they are. Just want to try something a bit different that totally trying to mimic what they did in '77.

Again, this is all part of learning....hopefuilly it will end well.

Actually a lot of the paint jobs on the filming minis are nasty,
and I would never try to totally paint something that nasty just to be exact! LOL
So I understand what you are saying.....it's more fun to capture the feel and at the same
time have some of your own freedom around the model. ;D

Re: 1/35 X-wing

I think I'm done this bit. Stuff from cars, tanks, helicopter, ships, brass mesh, you name it. Time to move on to the damaged wing.

That's AwesomeSIC !!! Great job. I work on jet engines for a living and I can tell you that the engine you have there looks very much one to me! The damage on the mesh is a nice touch

Re: 1/35 X-wing

Thanks guys.

I should post an update. I've been tinkering away at this off and on. I opened the Y-Wing cockpit door with a razor saw and started to assemble some figures.

I need to really make a good days push on the 1.35 X and get the landing gear built...then it's just a matter of the cockpit before I can close it up.

It will get there.
