  1. Hello. This is the ‘moving edition’ from Bandai, comes with lights etc. no super interested in that, but it was this or the fine molds one that I couldn’t find on eBay at the time. one thing I don’t like much about these Bandai kits is the soft edges on many of the panel lines, so I’m thinking out removing them. At least on the nose. anyway, I’m trying to figure out if I need to create sub assemblies for painting, since it’s difficult to dry fit these kits. Very nicely detailed, The ‘power brick’ that contains the wing motor and the leds. Very toylike, I’m not a huge fan of the base either... we’ll see how this goes. Cockpit assembly, added few bits to it... not much. Pretty interesting how they engineered this around the red5 paint scheme. But I don’t like the massive panel gaps, so... I’m going to at least sand down the differences in the fit of the panels relative to the surface. I’m not sure what to do here, I think I’m going to glue these parts together to I can get rid of the seem. I’d rather do it to just the upper fuselage,so I have good sanding access. I think think I need to keep the canopy separate for now. Bandai give you an option for a framed one (here) that comes with a glazing piece that snaps in, but it’s very thick, and interfere’s with my shortsighted cockpit additions, that I am attracted to now. You also get a fully glass piece, like a traditional model kit, this version is thinner and allows you to pose the canopy up. I’m going to punt on making that call. Meanwhile, I joined the front and rear fuselages together. I hope this isn’t a huge mistake. Using superglue to fill the gaps (green zap a gap). Sorry for hand texture. A bit of primer to see where i’m at. I sure did blow away a lot of panel lines...
  2. I painted this according to reference photos of the first x-wing model ILM made for starwars. This was blue leader. Apparently, they changed blue squadron to red squadron because of the use of blue screens. So blue leader was re-painted as red 3, you can tell because of the distinctive replacement panel on the port upper engine. Yes that is a slice of the tamiya logo. Painted Ed in tamiya acrylics, weathered with lifecolor washes. I try to avoid using clear oats whenever possible. Build thread here -
  3. After th Pg Zaku, i started my first 1/72 scale model kit. Bandai X wing. This is the box and parts some parts are realy tiny first i started the assembly all parts. After that process i will be start the priming. but i realized when i assembly the all parts than i cant paint or prime everything Thats why i seperate some parts again...
  4. Hi all, Well shes finished at last. its been a real blast doing the WIP for this build and the figure was a dream to paint and build with only the slight hicup of the dodgy masking tape. For my first Airbrushed figure im very happy with the results. hope you all like her. cheers till next time.
