Re: 1-6th X-wing project

But it looks like the x-wing will have to go on hold as quite a few people have asked for powerdroids.

Ignore 'em,
"Stay on target"

Thanks Ron,
I am really excited about painting it up. Want to get the weathering really dirty, like on my powerdroids. Its the torpedo tubes that are causing me grief.

Mate in what way are the torpedo tubes causing you trouble? and look forward to seeing more pics when you have the gonks all done.

Re: 1-6th X-wing project

If it it gets as far as being painted, I think it's gonna be Obi's.
Can't decide whether to go for the accurate blue (so I can have the 212th clones standing around it) or the red from the begining (which I think looks better).

Cheers,
Doug

PS, how was yr holiday mate?

Re: 1-6th X-wing project

hey Doug, I like the idea of a red one to. Its gonna be very good.
The hoiliday was a little stressful! I was ill, my dog was ill, and we ended up coming home early!! got home to find my mac had died, the hover blow up. So had to buy a new hover and apple mac in one day, chuffin expensive week!

So no more plastic dollies for me for a long while! Gutted.

So get cracking on that fighter Doug cos I need cheerin up.....

Re: 1-6th X-wing project

Well time to get down to business. Whilst we eagerly await the cantina days to arrive it this time of year when the evenings start to close in and I have to start taking the medicinal sherries earlier and earlier that I like to do a little work on the oldies. Starting with my x-wing.
The reason I stopped before was the torpedo tubs where giving me piles and I could not figure the chaps out... but now TA DA!!!! done and times to get on with the paneling

Re: 1-6th X-wing project

Cheers chaps and thanks Chris and Cbob for the continued inspiration to get on with things.
Yep the body is all hardboard. I would have made the entire thing in plasticard but its so chuffin expensive and I have no idea were i got these big sheets from now.

few more pics

Last thing to do on this side is a few little raised panels under the circles.
