I'm finished, and mostly happy with the results. I overlapped a few parts for detail and added an antenna behind the bridge. I need to work on my photography...it looks sharper in person. Thank you Thunder Child for your hard work and mcusanelli for your advice.:thumb:
She's almost done. I sound like a broken record, but the detail is so good on this model, she could could be scaled to be so much larger. A bit of detailing left and I think I might build one of those fancy TIE Fighters.
OK, I'm struggling with the smaller scale, but I love the level of detail in TC's work. 1 wing is complete, now onto the second. I'm looking forward to touch up painting, a greeble or two, a couple gloss coats and displaying my little Normandy.
Great build so far. I have an unbuilt, Fine Mold plastic model of the y-wing that has been collecting dust since I started building models out of paper. One of these days.
I finally got back to work on my Normandy. I teach CPR for my Fire Dept., and when I order certification cards, they are packaged in firm, flat cardboard that is the ideal width of my scales wings and the wing fins. It saves me on folding and provides firmness and strength to the wings to...
ThunderChild designed her so the main body parts fit together well. What I would do differently is cut off the part tabs, glue thin paper strips behind the part, and then join two sections together. It would avoid the "Fish Scale" overlap I am seeing with my build.
