As I promised in my E-wing thread I will now ducument my process of increasing detail to a model. The model I will be using is Shunichi Makino's A-wing. Here is the main hull of the model build and ready for greebling as you can see I have added a cockpit that i extracted from the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade A-wing 3D model. I have an extra copy of the model printed out to cut the detail parts from and my next posts will detail this process.

I use the extra printout to take any parts that are part of the texture that I want to be a physical object, or any panels I want to emphasize, I cut them out of the extra part and layer them on.

Yes an A wing..
looks great....are you going to scribe the panel lines?..or glue the panels on the ship?
i'm thinking about glueing my snowspeeder with all the panels...and make all the screw-holes where they need to be. (thinking about)

i'm wondering how you going to make the cockpit windows......plastic bottle?

OK added another layer in a couple spots on top and greebled up the bottom and rear so the main hull is done and on to the engines.
