Mike Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 You've made a good job of that, especially the eyes - very realistic. By the time it's been in the cabinet for a while and got a load of dust on it, it'll look like his wispy hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time it's been in the cabinet for a while and got a load of dust on it, it'll look like his wispy hair Hi Mike. I had some material for hair that would’ve worked but the scenic cement wasn’t quite right for it so I abandoned ship, given the deadline I had for AMW publication. Generally good, there’s a regrettable disconnect in the shape of the clamshell actuators, not picked up on in any pre-build reviews I read, compared to the screen hover cradle in S1 Ep2 which is a shame. Maybe Revell worked off concept art - not sure but either way it’s huge fun. Maybe some enterprising 3D printer folk will offer alternatives (although that’d involve a bit of work on the shell). Beyond that, simple comparison with screen grabs show discrepancies between the decal markings and the series model - whether that’s important is obviously for individuals to decide; I aligned with the on screen version. Much looking forward to the forthcoming N1 star fighter kit! Such a cool subject. TTFN Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're bound to. The weird and wonderful stuff you can get for Star Wars kits these days is unbelievable! The only downside being that you need to get pocket extensions I'm warming to the N1, but I loved the Razorcrest, so it's an uphill struggle. I've still not quite got over it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest boy has already called dibs on the N1 - he's already half-inch'd my Boba Fett and Grogu...🤣 TTFN Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Dammit! I can't even find a listing for this kit over here. I hope this isn't some licensing thing like the Abrams Enterprise kit. Maybe it just hasn't made its way across the water yet... Ahem. Sorry, it looks great and now I want one! I haven't even seen the show either. Excellent work sir!

Hope you get one and thanks for the nod. Mine now resides with my youngest boy, together with the Bandai Boba. Much looking forward to getting hold of the forthcoming Revell N-1 Starfighter...no prizes for guessing where that'll end up too...🤣 TTFN Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - eyes are always a pivotal point in these things and I'm no figure painter so it was good to see the methodology pan out pretty close to what was planned.
