It all seems to fit well so far fingers crossed it simple enough for me to build , painting & weathering might be another issue, I have the tea-lights to strip down and fit in side the propulsion units (engines) to give the impression there working

Well some progress,
cockpit and inner decks good bit to go

That looks like it’s as much work on the inside as the outside.

Yes makes you wonder how much will be seen but so far its been fun. I planned a couple of leds in the cockpit might put a few in the cargo bay as well

It has pretty large cargo bay doors on a coupe of sides of the ship, doesn’t it? Or so I seem to recall from watching the first season a few years ago … Having all of those open would certainly help in keeping the work you did on the interior, visible.

Yes it quite a large model doors are about 2” square so cargo bay would be light if it in landing mode, I was going to have it just landing or taking off with the cargo doors open but see how that looks with the landing gear down but not touching, i also have a small led for the cock pit as where the ladder and kit bags are it only very small windows & both interior doors are closed so the small LED should help illuminate it

Interesting Simon. Must admit it's not something I have ever watched. Will follow with interest.

That sounds like it would look properly dramatic, appropriate for a model from an action show like this

 

[simontie]

Well a bit further on and all coming together well my photographic skills don't do it justice but upper cabin/cockpit & cargo bay painted, the mixture of metallic paints catch the light differently and it looks unevenly painted (or its just my painting) also installed the light in the-rear cabin

Hang on, it doesn’t include Baby Yoda or whatever his name is?

No afraid not, grodu i think his name is… cant find one that scale either to stick in unless someone can print one

Din Djarin had the Razorcrest for a long time before meeting Grogu, and lost it not long after meeting him, plus you would have to remove a bit off one of the controls too......
The N1 due out soon doesn't seem to include him either.


This is the way.
