Thanks all for the kind words and your support during this build.
Please follow my next yourney with the Tie Advanced X1.

 
this is a really interesting topic and thread.
I have never really paid much attention to the accuracy and differences other than noticing the incorrectness of the old kenner and hasbro vehicles.

Wet that top hatch (moisten) it, and you can water form it to fit. It looks really good. :)
 
You have to try the particular paper your using. I tried that one a red package of paper I got, and was surprised to see the color run. :)
 
Indeed! Always test the technique on a spare piece of paper. Apply the water very sparingly on the back, just a little, then try to shape it. If it is still too rigid, use some more water. Again just a little, till you have found the "right" amount. :)

Thank all, I will give the waterboarding a try.
Remember to either take a deeeeep breath before you start or to use a good towel and practise on a Rebel dummy (don't use a civilian). Document everything and if you think you were successful send your test arrangemet and a description of your technique to the Imperial Secret Service. They always want good human torturers to replace those pesky 8D8 droids.

;)

(Sorry, I couldn't resist! :noteeth: :noteeth: :noteeth:)
