UHU02's Viper MK-II (REBUILD)
- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
*BREAKING NEWS* This just in! Here is an update on the build thus far! I am now working on the engine section now.
As you can see, I raised the band and top circle.
The fit is a bit off. I think that the component is a bit off. I think that I did not set the printer to print on letter size paper
On to the engine intakes. Here are the components.
I have raised some of the detail, so that it will look a bit more realistic.
The engine intakes are in place now. I made certain that the gaps of the itake walls are hidden properly.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Please stay tuned to Colonial Fleet News for further updates as they come.

Install the seat belt harness out of a new print of that part. Cut it out, and glue it over the seat's printed on Belt, to make it pop! Just a suggestion. 
I was going to, but I will be having a figure sitting inside. So the harnesses will not be seen.Install the seat belt harness out of a new print of that part. Cut it out, and glue it over the seat's printed on Belt, to make it pop! Just a suggestion.

This is going to be part of a much LARGER project that I have in mind. :hide:
Here is another quick update. I am continuing on with the engine section.
Here are more parts.
This is a lower fan assembly. I raised the components on the sides.
This is the plate that goes over the fan assembly and compression chambers.
The fan assembly is in place.
These are the compression chambers. I raised the details on them.
The chambers and the plate are in place.

I have the sense you're building the landing bay repair/service center of the ship, or something along those lines?
:Bravo: Give that guy a GOLD STAR! :Bravo:I have the sense you're building the landing bay repair/service center of the ship, or something along those lines?
Yes, that is my plan. Not only that, but I will have a few "easter eggs" in it as well. :hide: So, keep your eyes pealed for them, once I am finished. :explode:

Amazing! the original template is brilliant but you are taking it to a new level!
Thank you very much. I am adding all of the detail that I wanted to originally.
I have a rule when it comes to building paper models. That rule is quite simple. "The first time I build a model, I must build it "as-is", to fully understand how the parts fit together and what kind of internal space I have to deal with. So, if I want to recess a particular component, I know just how far I can go with it. Not only that, but if there are moving parts, how much greebling can I add whilst still maintaining the movement of the parts. After all of that is said and done, I then will rebuild the model with all of the detail that I wish to add.
Now moving on to the engine exhausts.
I raised the inside and outside panels,
I decided to raise the exhaust plate
The plate and back piece are in place.
I attached the mounting circles.
The exhaust is finished.
The exhausts are attached.
