And another UHU02 X-WING build

[lyter1958]

thought i'd give UHU02's x-wing a go. i see that nero_on_fire is doing his build also, this is gonna be fun. i went to my local office supply store and had them print it out on 60 lb 11 x 17 paper. 8 1/2 x 11 was too small for me to work with( yea, i know, chicken..). been working on it off and on for a little while and it's a amazing model to say the least. so's here are the pic's of what s going ona old piece of a backscracher tube came in handy punching out the red dots.all cut n ready to gofront section done.

and i seemed to have lost a lot of pic's of what i've been doing, but here's the rest of what i gotall this,to make this one part...wings doneabout 10 inches tip to tip.

It looks like you are off to a really good start!

Another X-wing. Never enough of them. Cool. I am watching and looking forward to next posts.

 

[lyter1958]

Looks good so far! Will be following this closely, but you are already ahead of me in progress

yea i am. check the note i left on your build about the side parts of the wings. if i wouldn't have enlarged mine i would not have seen it.

 

[lyter1958]

found a few of the pic's that i "lost" but the rest are gone.pic's 3 and 4 parts had a black dot i added to make it look better. well, to me at least it does

 

[lyter1958]

and some more pic's they OPEN...yea... now the next fun part....

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This is looking really good!

You are moving at the speed of light!!!

 

[bigpetr]

You are so fast . Sometimes I wish to be so fast with my buidls. But only sometimes. I enjoy building process, so longer the beteer)

 

[lyter1958]

yea, i know i go fast. i gotta slow my pace somewhat. but i sit there and say to myself"i'll just do this one section----" and then i look and 'crap' i did 4 sections.. i get into a groove and just space out working on it. it's just so damn fun doing it.. i just want to build--and build--and build........umm , i think i might need help:nailbiting:.

 

[zathros]

Go for it, the sooner you're done, the sooner you can play with it!!

 

[lyter1958]

ok, more pic's.. this is a blast to do. it's really a shame that so much on the detail is hidden inside the body after it's in place, but i know it's there and i can point it out to other people ( if they look at it)..and yes, i did slow down ...a little bit...on the build. case in point on detailnice small rollings can just make out "danger" on the sides of the tubes all in place

 

[lyter1958]

and a bunch of more small parts added. pic 2 was fun to cut out, and then rolling ... i could not have done this at the normal size..

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

You are doing a really good job on this model.

 

[bigpetr]

Nice work lyter1958. I love doing little parts . You do not color the edges?

if i remember to, or i'll go back and do it later..... i hate gettting younger.. have the C.R.S. problem..

Study this pic, and my suggestion in the pics underneath. I think this would add great detail to your model.

The suggestion is what's important, use UHU outside piece, but cut out the hole, Cut out the very center, and slip it into the whole that's left. Making it look like a vain with blades, again, using UHU's piece, but adding real vanes, angled, and I would mount them to a small tubeI for support. Glue that in, and it will make the model "POP", as this piece does not really make sense. This would give the appearance of it being able to spin, and add depth. My Render is for reference, I made that quick and dirty, to try and explain what I was saying with a pic. Just a suggestion, as you are really early on.

 

[lyter1958]

i see what you mean. there are left over parts on the sheets that i've thought about using here and there to add something to it. thanks for the tip!!!:King:

 

[zathros]

Just a way of making it pop, and adding some realism. No one else has done it either, so yours will be unique, in that sense.
