LONG OVERDUE

Okay...Another update after a looooooonnnnnggggg silence. I actually had this in my laptop for ages now, just couldn't find the time to update the damn thing. Here's a list of what I've done up until now:

-Primered the cockpit black

-Kit-bashed some detail parts to the cockpit

-Painted the cockpit and the pilot

-Did some minor weathering for the internal hatch 

Well I guess that's it for now...Tune in for more adventure in la la land next week!!

MILK RUNS RED

This is how the Hasbro cockpit looks like, originally.

Without the pilot 

without the seat

Dis-assembled

Now, the best part, 3D prints!

First try, I made a mistake of not fixing the 3d file first before sending it to print. 

Second try, after fixing the .stl files by sending them to http://cloud.netfabb.com/ (it's free!)

Looks soo much better! And here's the full set.

The pilot seat

the front part thingie

Side wall panel

This is how it looks like, assembled.

And this is where it will be placed, note the difference in size compared to the original Hasbro size shown previously.

I don't know about you fellas, but I'm psyched as hell in this project, and I haven't had this excitement [outside of the bedroom] for a very long time! I'm gonna do the lights after this so stay tuned!

PULL ME DOWN [AND TIE ME UNDER]

Hola fellas! I'm back, finally, starting on a another new (yes, new) Star Wars project! WEEEHOOOO!! This time it will be a conversion of the Hasbro Tie Interceptor to a proper museum quality (hopefully) replica. I got this tie interceptor from a dear friend of mine, Birudamai. (Thanks dude!)

Overall, Hasbro did quite a good job on the overall look. The size is just nice, the color is quite ok and the the scale is generally true to the 3 3/4 inch figure. Here's how it looks like straight from the box..

The main cockpit is attached together by 4 screws, 2 on each side. Looks easy enough to open, right? WRONG. The fucker is still stuck together even after you took out all the screws. It turns out that there's 6 internal pegs glued inside, so you basically have to force/pry the damn thing and break the pegs. I damaged the front sides a bit during the process..but I guess I can fix it later..Here's how it looks like after I raped it.

That's all for now..there's still a lot to do. Stay tuned..

SILENT BEHEMOTH

I nearly forgot about the AT-AT comission. Right after MITF 2011, I've packed the monster inside the box, waiting for the client to bank in the payment. After a while, I forgot about the damn thing completely. Last week, my client called me saying that he's banked in the money, and I started to remember that I haven't posted the completed work here..So, without further ado, here it is, in all it's glory, the Silent Behemoth....

From Hoth, with love..

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Finished painting BOTH speeder bikes! Alhamdulillah! Here's some pics. I really need to build that lightbox...

A LITTLE BIT OF RUST

A little update on the speeder bike for the AT-ST diorama. I've painted the base color and added some rust effect to it..Planning to start the diorama base tonight..

DAMN DIRTY PLANE

It has been a while, I know... I needed to sort a lotta stuff. Thank Allah most of them are cleared and now I'm back. I managed to snap a few shots of the ARC fighter, and that hasn't been officially finished and posted before here. Unfortunately, the lighting was bad, and I'm gonna have to reshoot again, soon. But for now, here's what I got, for the time being..
