How did you manage to light up the wing tips, did you run the wires of the LEDs through the wings, are they hollow?

Are you planning to open these kits up and do any internal lighting with them?

Indeed his portrayal along with hooks was a work of fiction, hook was a highly diligent soldier in his duties as well as a t-totaller from what I have read. Wonderful work on the bust btw

jesus another weak trailer, a ship being launched, no cast or crew, no dialogue and as for netflix... i'll pass, i've seen enough. thanks for posting

Keep the updates coming, this looks to be an interesting project

What are you planning to do in the way of weathering?

The US Marine with the M60 that they do has the wrong pockets on his trousers and possibly the wrong combat boots as well. However I do like their figures I just wish they came in 1/35 scale to

Don't hold your breath on any kits coming soon as they're two years late with their BSG Raptor

So how long have you been working for Moebius? LOL Seriously though I think it's about the principal of the thing, namely an item that isn't fit for purpose, I think it is that which irks the OP. Not everyone has a lot of spare cash to throw around these days and that £2:95 coffee might equate as 2-3 weeks pocket money for a young boy. As for purchasing upgrades for the "office" that was a personal choice made you. You could have scratch built your own enhancements. I realise that principles are a dreadfully old fashioned concept these days, but I have been referred to as a senile alcoholic by one board member here so that might be explain it

As I understand it, production/trading ceased at the start of the year

Thats an amazing build you've pulled off there! I love how you have the pilot peering into the range finder you can almost hear him calling out to his wingmen: "Hold them off for a few seconds, I'm almost there.....almost...there"

Love the grunge look to kit

Wow this is an amazing build, I look forward to seeing more of it soon

Fine molds and Revell of Germany replaced parts FoC for me. Revell did ask me for the kit box number stamped on the inside of the box the kit came in. I think this is terrible service tbh and I think you're right in naming and shaming them. I'm disappointed with them for not putting the bsg raptor into production yet. It is now almost 2 years late !

Solarwinds did some amazing girl kits, to bad they're OOP now

ok well i have finally managed to find some time to do some actual modelling for a change rather than cruising this site at night time. you might be able to make out in my previous post that there was some bowing of the central part of the two fuselage halves which resulted in some fit issues; i'm not entirely sure how this happened, it might have had something to do with the thinners i was using whilst applying enamel washes. needless to say it needed correcting before i could continue and this was fixed by masking off the area and then sanding using a sanding stick. this process was time consuming as i had to stop and regularly check my progress to make sure that i hadn't damaged any of my previous paint work. as you can now see the x-wing is actually stating to look like Poe's ride, complete with paint chipping and i have removed all of the masking tape over the wings and you cna see the recessed areas in the wing waiting to be filled with the greebles i made earlier. there are some areas that need some touching up on the wings but by and large the masking was 99% successful. the engine nozzles ahve now been added as well and they were first coated with tamiya's chrome and then lightly over sprayed with clear yellow which isn't showing up very well in these pictures. after that it was back to a new favourite of mine tamiya rubber black, which gives a nice charcoal grey/black look to the exhaust area.

I remember seeing a Panther recovered in similar conditions

You have a great 3D print there, well done on the interior details

What did you do to the steering vanes, how did you alter them?

How detailed is the cockpit interior?

Excellent work. Well done

I really love this droid you've done, id like to build one that represents "Mr Bones" from the star wars aftermath books
