I hope hayden took some tips from his animated self.....I really, really liked the animated version, even better than his live action depiction.
-
I find this interesting. If they should that in the trailer, I'd be hooked.

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2

Lol, if there are any lightsaber builders here in the Vancouver area, PM me, hahahaha! I have no clue where to go from here. Jokes aside, It might just end up being a static display piece because I don't have a clue when it comes to electronics and wiring. -
Oh, yeah, the verticle bits....that's due to poor construction on my part. It started off straight, but ended up leaning in some parts....made it from a Costco muffin tray, so I have no one to blame but myself for that. I should have taken my time, gotten some styrene sheets, meaasured and cut, but just wanted to build it with whatever I had laying around. And I also thought of justifying the lean as simulating the aftermath of an explosion, lol!

Love it, hahahahaha!

I had a sip of whiskey, took the masking tape off, and the thing didn't fall apart. Awesome. Now I wait for decals, then weathering. Oh, that's the first Revel 1/32 F14 I bought, but my dad claimed for himself. I'll get around to building my own one of these days.

Someone caption this knifehand (mil term for giving someone $hit)
-
Added a few greebles to the verticals bits. Itching to weather without the strongback decals and finish this thing off.......
-
Oh, that would suck, all that work.....hope it works out.
-
In an ideal world, Roy Focker and Saeba Ryo are actual the same person, and apparently impossible to kill.
-
Lol, your responses about the F14 are giving me nightmarish flashbacks about the 537 Refit, hahahahaha!
-
If it's a gloss coat, there's a youtube channel called Plasmo.....he sands his decals a lot, but from what I understand, he loads up the gloss coat on top of the decal before sanding.
-
Lol, it still needs a lot of work, but thanks for the words of encouragement. I just recently discovered a FB page with lots of other 1/537 builds. Lots of anger, blood, sweat and tears in there, lol!
-
Lol, it couldn't possibly be worse than the AMT 1/537 Enterprise Refit kit, hahahahaha! This is my second one. Long story short, I bought my first one years ago and my dad decided he wanted to build it so I let him have it. My dad is a casual builder and never got too serious, so he put it together and I have a complete one to look at for reference. There are definitely gaps in his build, so at least I know what to look for. I bought a second one at a model swap meet last year, but sadly, it will probably go into the pile of things to do for a while. I actually don't have space to display another monster like that so I have to do a little house cleaning and make some space
-
Is that top coat a gloss coat or dull coat? I got that effect with a dull coat and just left it, haha!
-
Yeah, the vertical bits do look too neat. I still have to find some door or port size greebles to stick on. I might even try drilling some holes. I have time though, since it might be a while before the strongback decals arrive.
-
Another shot of the stand. I wonder if I should take off the masking tape, see if the whole thing falls apart?
-
Ok, I have this horrible thing mocked up: Don't mind the masking tape, it's the only thing holding the neck and saucer to the secondary hull. Next to my most recent 537 build. Popped it onto a makeshift stand since I have no idea where the original stand is. Now it's waiting on the strongback decals and weathering.

I'm in over my head.
-
Looks cool though Actually, the lights do turn on, but not without squeezing the parts together. Electronics is not my forte, lol!
-
Oh man, I wish there were some local lightsaber builders here in Vancouver. I got into a Korbanth LS6 Gullwing and I have no idea what I'm doing. I was barely able to get the blinky lights to work on the switch. The crystal it came with looks a bit lame, looks like one of those ring pops, but at least it turns on and chances color. I wasn't really happy with the way the thing slides up and down inside the hilt, so I ordered a chassis, but there is little hope for me to wire it up with the a blade, sound, and working lights.

I enjoy shooting the big rounds, have a 50, but I also find a lot of enjoyment shooting my .22lr. I find it more challenging, and it's cheaper.....wayyyyyyyy cheaper, lol!

My hippy-dippy grade 4 teacher made us sing it in class, lol!
