On a side note: Shunichi was very hungry after finishing the model. He tried something he had never done before:

2142 kcal!

1.3 l of water is necessary to prepare this delicious dish.

Shunichi was afraid his stomach would, erh, "rebel".

Because this amount would satisfy 2 - 4 people.

He took himself time and - succeeded! :Bravo::Bravo::Bravo::animated::animated::animated:

All four instruction *.pdfs are ready for download! :)

So this project is basically completed (unless he decides to add a clear canopy to his build ;) ).

I really, really hope the next one will be a revision of the Sandcrawler. The basic shapes are correct, all it needs is a major "greeblification" at the rear. :)

Just a short notice to the model. On sheet one there are two parts named "4". It is nothing which is a problem for the model or the building process, I just wanted to mention.
I started the new A-Wing and have to state that it is a very smart model. THX to the designer.

Smart indeed. Tanks to its design it is very forgiving and joy to build model. I recomend to laminate the frame a little. Than it forms firm base and next work is a breeze :).

I sometimes use transparent varnish to stabilize paper models. In this case I think I will make a transparent cockpit and I will use the varnish to make it more stable.
