  1. Nice work salvaging that resin kit. Looks like it needed a lot of work! You did a really good job with what many would have abandoned. You should be proud of it. It turned out looking really good!
  2. Try this link. Scroll down and look at the Pick and Pack Foam, or the Convoluted Foam. I just always save the packing material from stuff I order or purchase always have lots lying around. https://www.uline.ca/Grp_18/Foam?pricode=DB055&AdKeyword=packaging foam&AdMatchtype=e&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArfauBhApEiwAeoB7qEO61VrwLqij9PRVbqVbaDQrRc_rIHYncOV-bbxrViXMBqQY-RaHdRoCqiMQAvD_BwE That's a canadian site by the wayπŸ‘
  3. Exactly what I was thinking of doing at the start of the project, but could not find any of the TIE kits at reasonable cost. If I happen to get my hands on some in the future it would be a fairly easy addition.
  4. @505thAirborne beautiful Black Widow. The decals really make it pop. @Rock What scale is that? Looks rather large I that pic. Love the look of it so far. @derex3592 get some base colours on that! Can't wait to see her all dressed up! Trying to figure out placement on the base for the Falcon and the 'roids πŸ˜‰. The rocks I've got figured out and the placement of the Falcon here is approximate (will be a little more nose up in the end).
  5. Big one and two smaller 'roids - maybe one more mid sized to build.
  6. Looks really great NB4M! @MechTech dude! Your work is simply inspiring. (And your tools are enviable!) Always a pleasure to see what you've been up to. @arbit wish I had the patience to learn 3D modeling. The things that 3D printers make possible, I mean the sky is the limit, and your designs look so good. Fist asteroid underway.
  7. Thanks arbit. I noticed that as well. Gonna balance it out a bit when I do the weathering on the bottom of the ship.
  8. Got my payment request today ☺️ πŸ€— 😊 😁
  9. So clean and Smmoooth! Lookin killer!
  10. Finemolds 144th. Got a Bandai in the wings. Thinking maybe a cloud city landing platform dio for that one.
  11. Ahh! Very clever! Thanks for the explanation. That was very instructive and helped clarify a lot. The top and side-walls of the old girl are done and dusted. Matte coat on and window masks removed. If you hold the ship right up close you can see Han and Chewy in there, but Leia and 3P0 are nigh on invisible. Oh well. Now I gotta do the bottom and then fashion and paint some Asteroids. Here's the main ref. I used for the weathering details.
  12. @nightmareB4macross plastic weld? Is that MEK based ? or an epoxy? I'm very intrigued by the process of securely bonding different plastics together. Do you thoroughly scuff the two surfaces to give the adhesive some bite? I figured it wouldn't be used like a toy, but still the different assemblies that are being twisted, folded, extended and turned have some fairly good heft to them. Don't get me wrong I'm not doubting your assertion ( I'm certain you wouldn't be doing all this work if you weren't sure of your process). Just interested in learning how you work with such desperate materials being used in such high stress application. More weathering on the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. This time with a ref . Pic. Think I'll need to darken some of the grey panels a bit.
