Awesome!

Still very excited about this!

I'm wondering if I start hinting to my wife that I'd like this for Christmas!

Sorry guys, on-call at the hospital this weekend so needed to attend to a few emergencies

 

[Mandible]

Damn you emergency-needing people! How dare you get sick and nearly die; we have more important things to deal with than you people popping off the perch!!!!

Finally back in the J-Cave this weekend and made some great progress on the damaged engine.
I should be fixing it to the body next weekend and then focussing on the cockpit and finishing details of the body.




Have spotted a few areas that need a little more work and detailing, but as it stands I'm really pleased with how its looking.
I did mess up by deciding to cut the engine mounts off and now I have to reattach them. Which has created even more work but its all good

Can't wait to see a mock-up with some 1/6 figures sitting in it!

I can't wait to see it with some paint. That is going to look great !

A quick poll: is the top engine the same size as the side engines?
In some images it looks the same and others it looks smaller

 

[Hoody999]

Looks the same to me. No doubt they all came out of the same mould back in the day.

 

[Mandible]

Yeah, I'm with Hoody - I think they would have definitely only had the one mould.

GREAT spot though Jas!

(Just looked at the film, and in the long side shot, where they're off to find R2, it is definitely the same size)

Another quick update:
I have remade the top / rear jet and I'm now happy with the look.
I made it exactly the same as the side engines, is it me or does the intake look more rounded ?


To show the scale and how huge this is I've sat my crash test dummy in the temporary cockpit and added a drinks can.


Plan on figuring out the side grilles next weekend...that'll be fun

Really good stuff going on here

 

[Mandible]

AWESOME update Jas!

Yeah, the intake does look rounded in your photo? The ones in the movie pix look move oval(ish).

I agreement about the shape of the intake. However, this looks fantastic...especially with the crash test dummy in the cockpit!!!
