looking awesome so far - id love to see some nose art on that thing lol 
If I were building for myself, I would consider that possibly. However, I am making this for my son. It will be up to him to make any painting modifications.looking awesome so far - id love to see some nose art on that thing lol
everything I make from Star Wars - paper or plastic - is also for my son - I just paint it myself.
I have to say that when it comes to painting, my son is far better than I am. If he really wanted to, he could easily do it professionally.everything I make from Star Wars - paper or plastic - is also for my son - I just paint it myself.
With that being said, he wants me to build a simple paper/cardstock model and clear coat it, to see if he could paint it with airbrush and hand painting.
Unfortunately, my son has no hands and no patience for such handicrafts, which is a shame. He has nothing from me in this matter...
Working on the wing root and top engine assemblies.
I decided to make a few internal formers to help with support the wing panels.
The formers are placed where the engines and wing mount come in contact with the wings.
Both wing roots are assembled.
Here are conduits for the wing roots. I layered them to give more "definition".
The conduits are put in place on the wing roots.
Here are two "star" shaped pieces.
The "star" shaped pieces are put in place.
The top pieces of the engines are assembled and greebles added.

The front engine plates are put in place.
Exhaust ports are attached to the top pieces of the engines and the wing roots.
The wing mounts are attached.
The wings are not finished yet!

I have finished the wings and mounted them in place. I did not have any problems. Everything was very straight forward.
Here are the parts for the wing.

Since my son is going to be hanging this in his bedroom (from the ceiling), he asked that I not add the landing gear. However, I did attach the landing gear mounts.
Here are the landing gear mounts.

Thank you for following this thread. I hope that you enjoyed watching it as I did building this model.

Yet another top model. I'm sure you're now looking forward to the next one - that's how I feel.
Thank you sir!
Actually, I am working on another project:
Simple Colonial Viper (based on the geocities.jppapertoy_box/sirius replicas)
A friend has introduced his (15 year old) son to (TOS) Battlestar Galactica. My friend's son really likes the Colonial Viper. The boy also is interested in paper/cardstock model building (even though, he has never built a model of any kind). I had shown both of them the models that I have built...

Very nice. I'm not a fan of this genre, but that is a good-looking ship. Who could resist that!

I never got into the game as a whole. I just like the aerial vehicles.
The plane does look great! Awesome job, bro! I'm sure your son will love it!

I'm also interested in the Battlestar models, I think I should have all the bows. There are so many different interesting objects that you have to choose what to build.Thank you sir!
