Star wars X wing fighters
Afternoon.
I shall be building one and repainting the other into Po's fighter from the 3rd trilogy of Star Wars.
Hopefully both/either will be, between them OK for the GB?
Comments?
More soon?

Re: Star wars X wing fighters
Are you going to strip the T-70 back to bare metal before repainting? I am assuming it's die cast?

Re: Star wars X wing fighters
Hi Adam
there are apparently some casting marks to remove and a strip would a good starter.
Scott at Miniac just re-primed his, which seems a little rash as it really is small and I don't want to loose any detail.
The SBS video for the paintwork is really good too.

I shall contemplate which route to take, but the spray booth in the garage is a little cold at 3 C, so it might not be this week?!

Morning Adam
I have watched the video several times and feel confident, so much so that the little X-wing has been taped up and all the mould lines removed and primed and base coated as per Scott's SBS.
From this
to this
The Lego X-wing has been built
Next up is the micro painting.
More soon?

Hi Woody
I need to sharpen my painting for 1:35 figures and heads so when I saw the Miniac SBS for this,
It was a simple fix for both the Sc-fi GB and my paint practise.
1/2 way there, the Star Wars Lego X-wing fighter done so a construction part next will be the X-wing mini paintwork
Hope you find some bench space soon
Regards
Steve H

Re: Star wars X wing fighters
Yup, cleaning the bench today. Varnish is drying on the paint rack. Should be able to start putting paints in the rack tonight and making room for a build
Have you tried the Bandai Star Wars kits. The 1/72 scale stuff is stunning, as is all the rest. I have a few of the 1/72 X-Wings and Tie Fighters lurking in a box in the shed. Lots of 1/12 scale figures too.
Money is needed elsewhere right now, but i do want the 1/5000 Star Destroyer!

That thing is tiny Steve. I didn't realise how small it is.
