I hope it happens! I want to see it badly.

And now...The Nacelles! I took the photos at night because they make the model look like it's in space. I scored the foam board on the side that would not be seen with a 45 degree angle mat cutter. Then I carefully rolled and wound it into a circular, tube shape. It barely wanted to roll when...

That would be great but I have heard the rights are split 3 ways, (Takara, Abrams/Gentile Entertainment and Marvel), so there's mountains to move if they want to do it. Same problem if they wanted to do ROM Spaceknight.

Then something is wrong. I will look over that page again very carefully.

Mmmmmm...big-a-tures.....

Sorry, I've been away scrounging up some extra real-life work to pay the bills. At least I wasn't gone for 2 years again tho, lol! Your constructive criticism is most welcome! I don't have line drawings as of yet but I have a variety of templates I worked with that I cut out of oaktag. The size...

I tried the link at the rerpf.com and tried the download but I keep getting some "Installer" thing and not the Viper Helmet file. Am I doing something wrong or has the original download been replaced by spam-stuff? Or is the "Installer" the actual thing I need to get the helmet?

That is a very good idea. I had not thought of that! I still need to find where my brother bought the foam board he gave me. It is very different from what most places carry and the foam really takes the curves well. I am scouring the local neighborhood.

Here is another white version with a less narrow pilot's module: Many more photos here-even if you don't have a facebook account you should be able to view the album as it's set for public viewing: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10207762609491508&type=1&l=29d1a6275f

This is almost exactly the same as the other white version except the pilot's module is not as narrow.

The film's not even out yet and you are manufacturing new style X-wings in triplicate! Great work! What occurred to me when seeing the new X-wing in the trailers is how short the fuselage is compared to the classic version. Then I remembered the original Kenner toy fudged the proportions on the...

My fingers don't get cold but do get a little numb when working actually. Maybe I hold the x-acto knife too tightly.:)

Now we get down to business; adding a saucer section. I had a smaller circle drawn up but it seemed too small. This is a larger one. The grid lines are mostly decorative and not entirely accurate. I had planned a separate circle be cut to attempt the curved upper and lower hulls but got lazy and...

Not entirely happy with the second attempt at the secondary hull, I went to my 3rd attempt. Tho I haven't done it to this model yet I'm confident I can go back and cut open the earlier attempts and modify the hulls to correct mistakes in their shape. I did this on variants for the Micronauts...

Many of these were a learning experience trying to interpet the original painting. I made these from August 2014 until August 2015 with a huge break for the cold NYC winter, (because I worked on these in my friend's construction garage which has no heat during winter. So at that point I have to...

I would love to learn how to light models and I may just take yoou up on your offer but it's going to have to wait until I have a stable, full time job again.

I have no aptitude for electronics so I won't light it up. It would probably catch fire with my luck, lol. If I want to save this I might cut into it and save the side and bottom parts. Maybe correct the mistakes. I keep starting over and it gets tiring re-making the whole secondary hull.
