[quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] About time I started a progress thread on this as a few bits have arrived now, gonna be a long one though until its finished as its partwork :lol: This model is 1:1 scale replica of the prop used in the films and meant to be the best replica yet, designed by the guy who made the other best replica of the original To get an idea of scale, here is the 1:1 blueprint next to a size 9 shoe [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11012169_10153189829740730_574117133630372445_n.jpg?oh=e8ff2a40562af141594f06dbce6efb09&oe=55797D18&__gda__=1433985831_24990aed24030b62b9f914f9905037a5[/img] Part 1: Contained the Turret gun, the cockpit bulkhead and some hull plating The turret gun actually comes silver in diecast metal, but I decided pretty quickly I was going to repaint everything to my taste Also decided to drill some small exit holes in the ends of the barrels, previously flat.

I wasnt keen so it doesnt stay like this [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10603498_10153118530610730_4159534482021978925_n.jpg?oh=d240bc53ef8aa0540c12d880f31bb7d0&oe=558277F1[/img] [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10959692_10153118530710730_9020327337315980041_n.jpg?oh=ae4ed2d73e33d58d154dd17b16db0b8c&oe=55817BB2[/img] [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/r270/10968477_10153118530935730_2557613847243960763_n.jpg?oh=9db5cf931a6fdef9f9483f4f0f9d1e86&oe=5580AEBC[/img] Part 3: Contains more hull plating and more bits of cockpit, so spiced up the cockpit a bit with hand brushing paint [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10443544_10153156050225730_2007252300746626690_n.jpg?oh=216d9e61510fac3a177882503cf0de5e&oe=559236BF[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10577161_10153156050285730_857236105449366244_n.jpg?oh=9a03040f1bac6fcc79241b8cfaa32e0a&oe=5592895C&__gda__=1434979307_f08ffe7f2d5313f5686bcba3082ae11d[/img] Part 4: Contained some more of the metal framework that the hull plating attaches too This stuff just screws together with connectors, its quite weightly I imagine the final model to not be light [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10407723_10153189858425730_9023379245012281815_n.jpg?oh=2d707adabe39f105191d990265de6691&oe=55840655[/img] Part 5: Contained some cockpit tunnel and more plating. Now this is where I decided to start repainting everything, I felt the factory colours were to unsubtle and garish and a bit toy like, so went out and purchased and air brush and compressor, my first time using an airbrush I hasten to add [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/1622070_10153189819090730_162010861448114590_n.jpg?oh=1a9fd848e6bfe19700e867aa20ab9fa7&oe=5585CC93[/img] Primered up the plating parts I had so far, using rattle can model primer [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1618460_10153189818975730_2268203860138440561_n.jpg?oh=4998f228cd4f011a27f6abd3a1731b4a&oe=55776788[/img] Then when that dried I started the preshading with the air brush, using Tamiya Rubber black, went over the areas I wanted to darken [img]https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11000718_10153189818830730_7304423207680190626_n.jpg?oh=276d5dd0b3b2d289fc503200e97ae2b4&oe=558D1A19[/img] Then mixed up a custom colour, 4 flat white to 1 deck tan [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11021524_10153189818730730_9069411901709995693_n.jpg?oh=7d75eb555cd104b889aff9e830fa528c&oe=5581FF07&__gda__=1435303544_14d49226254ec9c719bf6bbdf031bc3d[/img] Then went over the parts with a top coat, I may even give it a bit more to make it more subtle.
