Looks like about a foot tall, or so.

Tacky Glue - Scotch brand.

Working on the hands now. THOSE are going to be a challenge.

A friend of mine is a major-league Lego-maniac. So I decided to build him a paper craft gift: Ninjatoes' LEGO mini figure, the Luke Skywalker on Hoth version. Here's some pix of the build so far.

Okay, I came back to the model after a little hiatus, both to clear my mind of the frustration of that danged forward sponson piece, and to start building another model as a present for a friend (it's in the picture below, still in progress). I decided to build the part anew, to make sure to...

Awesome! I love LEGOs, and the Thunderfighter!

Looking great! I'm still plugging away at mine, but time has been an issue for me lately. I'd really like to see a Thunderfighter done up in Starfleet colors - I've given it some thought, and may try my hand at it some day.

Sadly, I haven't touched Blender in years, and my skills have deteriorated. Someday, I'll get back into it...

Thanks. I had to step away, I was getting frustrated. I will try again tomorrow.

@freddyman, I am using a basic Speedball dip pen set... Speedball Sketching Project Set And for my money, Speedball Super Black is a great ink for dip pens. Dip pens are the original tools with which comic book art was drawn (and of course, a Winsor-Newton no.3 sable round brush) but they...

Grr! Getting the forward part of the sponsons to actually connect to the tiny tabs at the forward end of the grill-things AND keep their shape and connect all the way to the front of the ship is very, very hard. I may have ruined the thing.

...and it's just the teaser for a feature-length film they have been funding on Kickstarter. They have most of the money they need, and will be shooting it in early 2015.

Gotcha. I have put it in to 206 & 211, but it seems a bit long for that purpose.

It's Labor Day in the United States, and a day off for me! So lots of work happening on this model today. Here's where I am right now...

On top of 206 & 211? The pictures don't show them on top, so far as I can see...

Good job, Forrest. But maybe you should start a thread of your own? Done............zathros. :)

What are parts 104/142 for? Do they help join the engines to the engine mounts (208/206/210)? If so, is it best to glue 104 to the engine, or to the mount?

So, you join the two halves of the body together, then do the forward sections of the sponsons, then add the lower forward skin, then the upper forward skin...

That's a whole lotta saucers! Especially love Balok on the view screen, KITT, the Griswold's station wagon, and the saucers, saucers, saucers! HEY! You still need to build a Buck Rogers Thunderfighter! Get on it, man!

Well done! A strong improvement over Constellation, and a fun build to watch from afar! Thank you!
