[BLT]

Ha ha... That's great dude.

Disturbing!

Coming along nicely. I'll have some .020 fiber optics in the cockpit with red lighting. This thing is tiny, and there isn't much room.

 

[Hagoth]

Dialing in to watch the show! How could this not be good?

 

[stevethefish]

What are you using for those light bars? The kit has solid gray plastic, so I assume you have cut that detail out and have replaced them with something.

 

[Wolf Star]

I bought the Green Strawberry upgrade, but ended only using the round engines from them. I cut appropriate slots in the kit part and made inserts from clear sprue. With the flickering LED's the effect works very well.

 

[Hagoth]

Nice solution. The many uses of left over sprue are highly under rated.

Amen to that.

 

[BLT]

Indeed...

This was on hold for a bit. Hard to believe that the kit came with no figure to put in the pilot's seat, but I found some extra wee peeps from my 1/144 Millennium Falcon, so that hurdle will be crossed, as I can't have a ship in flight with nobody at the controls. I also still have not decided how I'm going to rout the wiring and post for mounting. I have an idea, similar to I did a tie fighter a few years ago, I'll have to go dig up some photos.

Yes... Photos please!

We live for photos...

I'm tired, nearly forgot lol. But a few years ago I built this Revell Tie Fighter with lights and this is how I posed it. I'd like to do something similar with my Slave 1. Too bad they aren't the same scale.

 

[wjbrandel]

Excellent work.

That looks sweet man.

Would have been nice if they'd been the same scale as you say...

Imagine the size of the Slave 1!

 

[Wolf Star]

Thank you! When I did the Tie Fighter, I made 2 asteroids, so I still have the other in storage, unpainted. I'm thinking of the asteroid scene in Attack of the Clones now. Those rocks have a reddish brown hue if I recall. I love this sort of pose as it's not a typical display method. I'll have to get some more brass tubing and figure where I can route the wiring from the model.

I have been endlessly lazy with this kit, but I hope to restart it soon.
