My_name_1s_MUD Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) Here are some final photos of my Fine Molds Slave 1. Everything is box stock except the cockpit which I scratchbuilt to look more like what I saw in the Star Wars Chronicles book. I even made a little periscope for Boba. I also closed the small gun doors near the cockpit (didn't see these open in ESB). I also opened the gun barrels on the main guns. Without any further ado...

CraigSargent Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Very nicely done. Particularly like the weathering. I know I'm going to have to get a second one now to do both Jango's AND Boba's incarnations of this ship... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wing_Nut Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Amazing finish, the paint chipping is flawless ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
My_name_1s_MUD Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thanks guys. For paint chipping, I used liquid mask flicked on with toothbrush bristles. Similar to the salt technique, but I think easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowman473 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Looks good. Did you use the same technique as the one used on the Slave 1 in the summer issue of Tamiya Magazine? What type of liquid mask did you use? Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My_name_1s_MUD Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Looks good.Did you use the same technique as the one used on the Slave 1 in the summer issue of Tamiya Magazine? What type of liquid mask did you use? Ed I saw that Tamiya Magazine Slave 1, but I only saw the pics. I never got to read that article, so I don't know what technique they used. As you can see by those pics... it is alot better than mine, but he built it completely box stock (didn't close the doors or change the cockpit). He didn't even put Boba in there. What's a Slave 1 without Boba? Just kiddin'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GrandpaVader Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Great job on the kit! I have a couple in the stash, I think I'll have to break it out.... I also have one of the MF on order, are you planning on building that??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
