Brilliant job on the lights and details.

I'm just running out of words of appreciation for how amazing this project is.

I made enclosures for the lights and finished the wiring on the rear consoles.



Lighting test. The final painting will cover up the last of the light leakage.



Assembled into the rear cockpit. The screen is just a thin sheet of plasticard right now. I just need to find a suitable graphic and print it onto paper. I'll do the same for the front.



Overall effect. Once HT Snowspeeder Luke arrives, stand-in Luke will become Dak. Just need to get the jacket and gloves loose. I'll convert an old bike helmet into a pilot helmet, rather than buy a very expensive loose item, just to paint over it.

Stunning work! The detail and overall workmanship are incredible.

Amazing lighting work! And of course the controls for the gunner is going to move the gun!! Simply in awe.

I'm sure it will be just as impressive as your A-Wing.

Finishing off the interior now. Cockpit sides all done.



Added detail to the hinges.



Interior of the cockpit frame and glass installed. Just some pipes to add to this.



Added more lights to the last 2 consoles.



Only a small amount of fabrication to do now, then onto the painting. I'm also painting the bodyshell of my Lotus Esprit, which is taking an age, as there are so many coats required. Getting it flawless is just impossible. I'm glad i don't have to be so neat with the Snowspeeder. I'm hoping both projects will be finished in a few weeks.

More enjoyable updates!

Someone eventually is going to offer you a ton of money for this.

Triple what they offer and when they agree tell them you changed your mind you decided to keep it.

just ****ing brilliant man. brilliant!!!!!!!

 

[Stryker2011]

Stunning level of detail. Awesome stuff.

Started the painting stage. I did the rear cockpit first to eliminate the light leakage.



I opted to paint the seats and quilted panels olive drab. They should be grey, but i wanted a bit of colour to add interest. For the same reason, i'm going with the orange markings, rather than Luke's grey scheme.



Inner wing detail.



Back end all painted and assembled.

 

[Stryker2011]

Brilliant. That’s looking really cool.
