??? Its completed

WOW thats excellent work and an awesome design!

Next up is a Lancer Frigate, this is one of the original XWA models and so it is a bit lacking in detail but I'm happy enough with it at this size.

I know I know I keep delaying the X-Wing (although I have gotten a bit more done on it) but this is going to be a long term project that i will be coming back to periodically. I kind of chose 1:5000 arbitrarily as a scale to balance the smallest ships to be buildable (corellian corvette came in...

I absolutely love that :D

Look back on page one post #4 i left a link to a tutorial that shows how i do my canopies ;) Thanks everyone it was a fun build :mrgreen:

And another one done, I think I'll get back to the X-Wing now ;)

One gun left, and that will wait until tomorrow.

Pulled the canopy, just the canopy rails and guns to go :D

Today's progress.

I think he's a bobblehead ;)

Its correct. The a-wing is just larger than most people (myself included) assume. 9.6 meters

Recolored Tirick's pilot to a-wing pilot colors and got a little more work done.

OK added another layer in a couple spots on top and greebled up the bottom and rear so the main hull is done and on to the engines.

Heres one last shot for tonight, upper main hull is as detailed as I'm probably going to make it, not toooooo much just a little here and a little there.

I'm not doing all panels, just raising a few here and there, as for the canopy ill link up a thread by getter1 where he details the canopy making process http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/figurines-anime/5946-vf-1d-valkyrie-trainer-8.html

I use the extra printout to take any parts that are part of the texture that I want to be a physical object, or any panels I want to emphasize, I cut them out of the extra part and layer them on.

As I promised in my E-wing thread I will now ducument my process of increasing detail to a model. The model I will be using is Shunichi Makino's A-wing. Here is the main hull of the model build and ready for greebling as you can see I have added a cockpit that i extracted from the X-Wing...

You make a good point, UHU's would be GREAT in a dio, with mechanics swarming all around it with little wrenches, I can see it in my mind, somebody please build that!

Oh believe me I'm well aware of UHU02's magnificent model, in this case however i want this X-wing to be ready to kick a**, not be in the middle of a maintenance cycle lol
