Now it's time to do de "radome". This part is not so complicated but needs a lot of care on the building process in order to look nice and smooth.
Everything must fit perfectly and be properly aligned. Specialy the borders.
Now at the time of gluing the radome to the ship, first of all the...
Ok...today this thing will have its wings. And here they are. This pieces doesnt come with tabs to attacht them to the fuselage, and i forget to make some hehehe. But they fit nicely on the model and can be glued by contact. And the wing reinforcement will provide the support. So no problem...
Thanks guys... there is a little bit more to see... so stay tuned. The end is near.
And the model is not available to download here. It's copyright protected... :twisted:
The glass for the cockpits are made with pieces of plastic bottles. I made a short explaination of the process just a...
Here are the fuselage air intakes. Just two modules, very simple to do. They have some detail in the rear.
These are the engines htat goes mounted on the wings. They have plenty of detail. So they require some work and patience. First comes the inner structure on wich I added some...
Hehehe...thanks johanvanacker.
And Rogerio I don't use the thermaform thecnique (at least not for now). I don't have the skills yet hehehe, so for this I just do the paper canopy and then i try to match the piece to a surface in the bottle. In this case the pieces matched the irregular shape at...
Well... here is a little progress on the cat's eye.
In my files i could find something extra to add here. And that's the crew.The operator and the pilot.
Everything fits nicely so its time to close this section. So first i glue the canopy in its place, then introduce the operator's...
Hope to see more of this real soon... I made one some time ago. You are in for a treat when you reach the main cannons hehehe.
Looks great man...
Saludos
Well... at this point I could succesfully get both canopys at the right shape using clear plastic. And they look so nice that i just couldnt paint them black. So i'm thinking to go all the way with this... And do the whole interior of the cockpits. So i will tamper a little bit with the original...
The wrapping pieces.... the fuselage. Starting from the tail. I cuted off all the original tabs of the pieces, thus to put inner tabs and eliminate the overlapping resulting in a smoother surface.
It takes more time and effort... and sometimes it just annoys the #@%& out of me but I can't argue...
Thanks Rogerio and zathros... and yep..its like an AWACS type.
Well starting with the inner structure...
I started by making this pieces thicker... paper only just won't do it, so i glue them to a piece of cardstock... This pieces assembled in the right order will provide the model with its...
Hello there... Im back, but this time not with another star wars model. This time i'll give you my first Robotech(Macross) model.
I got this beauty from its creator and our forum friend Thunderchild...
So... I decided to stray this time only from my dearest Star Wars models and build this one as...
