Havoc Marauder from the Bad Batch

[mijob]

I love the Bad Batch series and I'm re-watching the first two seasons before I start watching the last season.
I always loved the Marauder and I thought why not build one. There are a few reference kits available and some 3D stl files.
I will give it a try and see what I can make of it. First I start designing the fuselage.
And here is a web image of the beast from the jedi archives.

And here are the first drawings for the fuselage.
Next up the first steps in building it.

The look of the Marauder's wings reminds me of a TIE Interceptor.

I gues they scratch build it after the clone wars.

OH YES!!!! I have been wanting this one ever since I first saw it.

Thank you all I will do my best on this one.

This is going to be a very interesting thread to watch. I will be following it closely! I am looking forward to seeing how it will turn out.

Did some work on the cockpit and Im not happy how it looks. After watching some episodes I could see that it has a very slim looking. So I looked for some new reverance material and I found some good images.

This is good stuff to work with.

Very cool subject! I think you can port over some basic building principles from the Lambda shuttle.

Yes indeed some can be used.

That's a good reference pic!

 

[mijob]

Yes it is indeed I hope to get it right.

So lets kick off with the first test build. I started with the cockpit. I think it's looking good. Only some minor changes. Take a look for yourself.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Wow, you are fast! Great start so far, my friend!

Thank you so much.

I am glad to see that you are kicking this build off right! I will be watching this build closely!
I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Thank you, cockpit and fuselage are the most difficult part of this model. The rest is not that much work. But still alot of worj.

I made the first fuselage test build. I need to make an internal skeleton and need to think on a way to keep the skin flat. I dont want to end up seeing the skeleton lines in the skin.

Also with the fuselage I'm verry happy how it looks. So back to the computer to make the skeleton.

Good progress so far, you are enthusing me to get back to the bench.

I have lost my mo-jo recently and found myself building Lego, great for the mental health
