Andy Moore Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've had a couple of Bandai's Vehicle Model kits sitting around half finished for much of this year (a state that's been all too common with several of my builds in 2018). I'm currently trying (probably in vain) to get several projects wrapped up before the end of the year and, as these didn't require all that much work, they were the first to get finished. A-Wing Vehicle Model 010 Up first is the little 1/144 A-Wing, finished in the red/white movie scheme. The weathering on this is a little rougher than I'd like, but it is what it is, and at least I've got it done. You do get a pair of these in the box and the second one is built but not painted yet. I've modified the guns, rear fins and engine nozzles slightly, and it'll be finished in a non-movie scheme that's yet to be determined. AT-M6 Vehicle Model 012 The second completed build is the First Order Walker from TLJ. It scales out roughly at 1/550, so it doesn't really fit in with any of the other Bandai releases which is a shame (or not, if you don't like the subject). There's not a lot you can do with something that's entirely grey, especially at this scale, but I've tried to vary the tone a bit and pick out some of the panels. The finish isn't entirely accurate (the grey should be quite a bit darker), but it turned out reasonably well. Thanks for looking Andy 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Small but beautifully formed. I vote for off white and tiger stripes for the second A wing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Great work as usual @AndyRM101, just curious as to where you order your kits from? Have got some of mine from amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake the snake Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Great job on both Andy. Maybe someone will make a bigger M6 walker someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intriguing idea Pete. I'll give it some though On 27/12/2018 at 14:21, Hockeyboy76 said: just curious as to where you order your kits from? Have got some of mine from amazon Mainly from Ebay, although I've had a few from Amazon over the years. Essentially wherever it's cheaper. Hopefully the new year will give us more options when the Revell re-releases appear. 18 hours ago, jake the snake said: Maybe someone will make a bigger M6 walker someday. Hope so, and a Resistance Bomber while they're at it. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
