Star Wars U-Wing building

[Revell-Fan]

Are the layers different colors?

The directions suggest several versions.

Yes. You toggle the desired layer(s) on or off and print it. You can even toggle the weathering on / off.

Yes, Revel fan is right. I opened the file with MS-Edge and I didn't see the different layers or the settings.
But OK, I'll finish the transporter like this, if I don't like the color scheme, I can add the appropriate parts to it later on.

Attached is the detailed completion of the engine. I have decided to add the corresponding details here already.
One finished 3 more to make. I will let you know when I have finished the rest.

That looks good to me.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Very nice!

You are making great progress on this project!

Yes. You toggle the desired layer(s) on or off and print it. You can even toggle the weathering on / off.

How do you do that? From which program?


The rebuild is looking great!!!!

When I read the title for the thread, I thought you were building a "garage" for your "U-Wing". I couldn't help thinking where do you have the space for all this stuff!!

Rebuilds do suck, but if you really like the subject, the next attempt always comes out far better than the first would of. IMHO.

It took a while to finalize the engines.
This is also the moment to finalize the formers. Next will be the parts which connect the engines to the hull.

First build failed! But now I know how to to. Pics to follow.

 

[THE DC]

Nice to see you back at it!


That looks pretty good, for a build that you describe as bad! I wish my "good" builds were that tight!

Tell us what you learned to do differently?

 

[starbuck]

Hi again.
Yes I will demonstrate step by step the whole procedure for these parts.
Coming back soon….

 

[starbuck]

Use as much middle parts as needed to reach the same hight as the wings have, to ensure that this part can be slipped over. For one part I used 3 middle parts (C), 4 parts (B) and four parts (A).
By assembling make sure that the parts are used correctly as the sides of the triangle are not having the same length.

 

[starbuck]

To attach the parts correctly, I test them on the wing. (right/left or top/bottom) Before finalizing, I would make one for trial to get a feel for the assembly. Then cover the panels with the enclosed strip.

 

[starbuck]

All parts finalized, assambled and details added. Summary: good model with place for enhanchements.
Thx to the designer.

You did a FANTASTIC JOB on this project!!!

 

[mijob]

It looks fantastic great job.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Very well done, starbuck!
