SCI-FI Star Wars Shadows of the Empire - Xizor's Virago - Finished

[Massassi]

Hello everyone,

Here is my first ever BSC entry.

It is for the SCI-FI Category. The Star Wars Shadows of the Empire - Xizor's Virago.
I found this model in a comic book store. Somewhere on a top shelf. I paid about 20 euro for it.

Can anyone see my pictures? I have a local server, and if I am on my local network I cannot check it.
The links should at least work.

Wow that's a throwback for me! I built that kit in my teens. Still have the stand here somewhere, and a wing I think.

Reminds me I wanna pick that up again! Can't wait to see the build!

Very cool I will be watching this one as I bought the same kit at a glee market minus the instructions though, thank god for the internet I managed to find and download them.

Did you finish it when you where a teen? Do you still have all the parts?

Re: SCI-FI Star Wars Shadows of the Empire - Xizor's Virago

First parts are together. But there are large seams that need filling. Started painting some parts black

Re: SCI-FI Star Wars Shadows of the Empire - Xizor's Virago

Yeah, some seams need fixing on this one. I had it but kitbashed the parts. I should have just built the kit.

I read Shadows of the Empire about 22 years ago and it was a really good fill in between SW-ESB and SW-RJ. And I always thought that design of Xizor ship was really different and cool, good luck with that build.

Nice choice, I'll be watching this with interest as I don't see mine coming out of the stash anytime soon

Found some reference photos from the Shadows of the Empire Game. I am still looking for the right colors.








I almost wanted to glue the guns in the forward position. But the last two pictures show that they need to turn.
In flight mode they are pointen to the rear, and in fighting mode they point forward.

That's a rad looking ship. Looking forward to watching this come together.
