My next build will be the two-seater HBB-TF to finish off my curent collection, but there are a few other (real life) things that I have to take care of first.
Once the DJ-TF is released, I will build that one as well.
I may not do a build thread on these models, but I will post photos of course.

Revell-fan and I will continue to update all of you on our prgress with this and other related project that are relavent to this (project) thread. So please stay tuned. ;)

Just have to ask... Any progress on the cockpits for these beauties?
Cockpits are doing fine! I'm revising the shape of some parts so that they fit better. In addition, I have melted some parts to decrease the number of parts. Stay tuned!:wave:

Good work, RB! :thumb: That's exactly what makes all of this interesting: mixing and matching it all together. This is exactly the Apogee / ILM / Universal Hartland way. In the old days they invented a name for that: kit-bashing.

I have completed the assembly instructions and have sent them to RB to see if there are any gaps or mistakes. Once I get his report I send the whole package to Martin. And then we'll see if HE likes it..! :twisted:

Oh, and here is a sneak peak at the RMQ Concept Viper. This time I am working with SketchUp assistance. However, I fear that this and the cockpits will need a bit more time since I was whipped back on track to get the Colonial blaster ready. Stay tuned! :wave:

Thank you RF.
I am very familiar with the term "KIT-BASHING" ;)
When I first started building models, I would save the extra parts and once I had enough to "play with", I would put them together and see what I came up with. Sometimes it was a cool outcome, sometimes it was not so cool. I learned quite a bit from kit-bashing.

I am quite interested to see just how the RMQ Concept Viper turns out.

announce1 Just a reminder to all who are going to build this models. (With the exception of the DJ-TF) You will need to download the original model, because the MK-III (RETRO and ADVANCE), HBB-TF, and QUAD packets are just expansion packets!!!
