UHU02's Viper MK-II (REBUILD)

[starbuck]

Yeah wow. I did this wonderful model some time ago, and when I see these pictures I want to do it again.
But when I think on my hobby room......it is a sauna in summer ..... therefore I have to wait til temperature will come down.

Great to see this detailed building thread - will be part of the instruction for me.

This is our Rhaven Blaack at his best!
What a wonderful plenty of details! Always a great pleasure to see someone building an UHU02

Your viper collection is rebirthing in a splendid shape.

Great work RB!!!!

Thank you very much for the kind word! After I finish this, I might start on a Thunder Fighter in 1:48/1:50 scale.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you one and all for the kind words and encouragement!

Here is another update. As you can see, I have added few more details by raising some of the printed details.


Please stay tuned to Colonial Fleet News for further updates as they come.

Definitely taking this up to the top!!

Tremendous detail going in. How much will still be visible once the body goes on?
Will you have open panels in like a maintenance type scenario?
Great work!

Thank you very much!!!
It is interesting that you ask that. Actually, I will not be adding the skins on this one. It will look more like this: http://www.zealot.com/gallery/albums/another-frakking-over-haul.14/

Just too COOL!!!!!

Here is to finishing up the front end. As you can see, I have both raised and recessed some of the printed texture. Yes, I know that some (if not most) of it may not be seen, however, it still keeps me in practice for other models.

One inch (= 2.54 cm)

The mind boggles. Great detail RB!

Looks like 1'.

I am sorry that this is a small update to this project. It has been a busy week.

On the "egg" shaped component, I have recessed the black arch and the black area behind the red cylinder, and raised red cylinder and some of the trim on it. With the component that has the red "CAUTION" cylinder, I raised some of the trim texture on the outside bracket.


I mounted the components in place.


I just left these components "as-is".


They are mounted.
