gunpowder Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I originally built the Jango fetts version as Bobas. I fixed the holes in the side blisters and that was the extent of the mods i did. I now have bobas version and its quite different Heres the differences in the two versions. The painted one is the original Jango version. The cockpit is very different The fuselage is a bit different with extra panels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunpowder Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Heres one of the wings before final assembly. There are 14 parts to each wing. How ILM came up with this design for the wings is beyond me! And assembled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunpowder Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Heres some more photos. Heres the paint chipping effect. I have had to adjust the lighting to make it show up for the camera which is why it looks a bit dark. Heres the underside so far. More soon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Awesome weathering! I really like the Harrier engine :lol: (wonder if they used the Airfix 1/24 scale Harrier for the "real" model?) Taking notes for my SLAVE 1 build.... Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
