Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hello everyone... I present my latest build from the Sci-fi/Movie-TV Group Build. It is Red Two flown by Wedge Antilles at the Battle’s of Yavin and Endor. This is the ancient MPC kit which i think is 1/48 scale. Its close to that as i used a 1/48 cockpit from my spares and it seems to fit. I did a few things to it. I made a canopy post for open display as seen in some photo’s. It is removable so the canopy can be posed in a much lower state. Like i said the Cockpit is from my spares as the kits used dial gauges molded in to the dash. Its far from perfect but its better than stock. I also added the two launch tubes for the secondary torpedo’s used in the trench run of the 1st death star. They weren't there on the kit, just flat panels. A link to the build log in the Sci-fi group build. Questions, comments, and or thoughts ?

Pete in Lincs Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Nicely done. It all seems so long ago, and of course it was. But the Force continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Dennis, this is really great! I didn't realize you did Sci Fi models too. This is a beauty. Pretty good size too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I did this AT-ST walker earlier this year. I have intentions to build more including mechs and Gundams, but those might be a bit more in the future Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 I regret to inform all that Red Two has Crashed and Burned. 🥺 I went to Christmas Dinner at my mother in laws today. Upon arriving home i found that Red two had crashed and shattered at some point today. Someone and there were two humans and two cats here broke it. Then tried to hide it by putting it neatly back in place as if nothing happened. Except the left pieces dangling off and strew about on my desk. Im needless to say livid, but can do nothing to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Man, that is a terrible shame! Maybe you can't fix it, but perhaps there's something else you could do with it (like a diorama)? It took me almost a year to calm down about my Enterprise to get back to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
