Hi! I havent posted for a while.

Heres what Im working on atm: The FM 1/72 Slave 1. I will custom mix the colors, based on ref pics, and I will light it.

Its my first FM, and they do make exceptional kits! The only problem I see with this, is that it suffers from the previous Jango version, and have a few details from that in the mold. If you are really trying to get the paint perfect, the included paint scheme is a little simplified and some stuff is incorrect. But overall its a great looking kit, and is cleverly constructed.

Easy to recommend to anyone loving great kits and/or Starwars! I can def see myself do more FM in the future.






Ill post more when I made more progress.


Cheers

Test assembly. No glue so the wings are sagging. Im pretty happy with the colors.

That's pretty damn awesome looking. Seeing it in relation to your hand really shows off the small scale really well. WOW. When I got my kits I was surprised by how much detail they were able to add to that small scale. Really insane.

Tack NHM! Yeah much of the details really look like the real deal! Very imressive work done at FM.

Done some work, washes and airbrush. Lightning and cockpit coming up!

Did LED lights in the engines this we.

How many hours have you put into this so far? Looking really awesome.

Thanks!

Oh, and to many LOL! Building it is pretty straightforward. Sure some work filling a few seams, but other than that pretty quick.

The paint job however isnt. IMO its the most complicated SW paintjob, so it take some time.

Im doing it to get better at air brushing and of course to relax. Its a perfect hobby for a father of a baby and a toddler. If you get a few minutes, you have the kit ready.

Almot done btw, trying to get the cockpit right. The original studio model interior is pretty sloppy, and Im trying to get the feel of that.

Well, it looks absolutely marvelous. Can't wait to see it finished. If only I could do my FM kits as great as this.

Thanks! And with your attention to detail and nuances, Im sure your kits look great!

Cockpit done:


Somethings wrong?

To be honest... they tend to look like shit. I have the gift of spotting even the tiniest things... but when I have to build and paint... all skills are out the window.

Nice trooper.

Im sure youre being to hard on yourself. But if I can help out in any way, just let me know though.

Finally done.

Some pics:






Thanks for looking.

The paint work on this is phenomenal.

A real outstanding job! You’re hard work and attention to detail really paid off!
