  1. I usually post in the Aircraft forums at Britmodeller, but I loved the Mandalorian TV series and pre-ordered Revell's 1/72 Razor Crest as soon as I learned of it. @Andy Moore 's most excellent build ( https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235103157-mandalorian-razor-crest/ ) prompted me to start one of my own. I seriously doubt I can do as fine a job as Andy, and I won't repeat here the work he has done. Instead, I'll focus on two areas that (I hope) will serve as a supplement to Andy's WIP: Lighting, and a few aftermarket 3D-printed parts. Here is an overview of my lighting plan for the Razor Crest. Not everything is "screen authentic", I've taken some liberties by adding a few lights that aren't shown in the TV series: The 3D-printed parts I am using all come from Shapeways. They include: Instrument console, by 308 Bits. This comes pre-drilled for fiber-optic lighting: Mando and his little companion, also from 308 Bits: 308 Bits LED mounts for the engine exhaust: More refined exhaust nozzles, by Scale Mark Models: and lastly, more detailed landing gear hydraulics, from Scale Mark Models: =================================================================== My first task was to address a few of the shortcomings in the Revell kit. All of these are covered in detail by Andy's WIP, so I'll just summarize them here: I sanded smooth the "pebbly" plastic (especially on the upper surfaces), and re-scribed the major panel lines: Filled in various sink marks, such as the one shown here on the lower part of the front nose panel: Modified and detailed the side cargo doors to eliminate the "toy-like" lower hinge: Chiseled-away Revell's extraneous "wedges" on the side detail of the engine pods: Again, there's nothing shown here that isn't already described in Andy's build. Next installment: Starting on the cockpit and fuselage lighting . . . - Bill
  2. I recently completed a build of the venerable Airfix Ford Tri-motor, made up for the fictional Miskatonic University Antarctic Expedition described in H.P. Lovecraft's horror novella, At the Mountains of Madness. The Cliff's Notes plot-line is that, in 1930, a university in New England sponsors a geologic and paleontologic expedition to the unknown Antarctic. Using aircraft to cover the vast distances, they discover a range of mysterious mountains and, beyond that, the cyclopean ruins of an ancient city. On landing to explore the city, the scientists encounter monstrous beings that proceed to kill the explorers, etc. etc. The WIP for my Tri-motor build can be found here: and here are a few pics of the finished model: With the Tri-motor done, I need to build a suitable diorama around it. This will be my first attempt at building such a large/complex diorama. My goal is to show the aircraft after it has landed at the edge of the mysterious city. For inspiration, I plan to draw heavily from this artwork: my list of needed "props" include: Sledge Cargo & oil drums Fuel pump & hose Ladder Skis Rifles Tent(s) Furniture for tents Booze bottles Booze crates Boot Giant Albino Penguins Sled Dogs Shoggoth Let's get started! My first step was to decide on the general layout of the diorama: The biggest challenge will be the city wall, so that's where I will begin. I drew out the general dimensions on paper and transferred that to a piece of foamboard: The wall's buttresses and other 3-D features were cut from various thickness of foam, which will be mounted to the foamboard backing after detailing is finished: The base will, of course, be covered with snow and ice. I will be using for the first time AK Interactive's products: A quick trial run looks promising: That's as far as I've gotten as of today. I'll be posting regularly over the next few weeks, and expect to be asking lots of questions along the way. -Bill
