Star Wars GB Episode II CLOSED

Well, I used my ipod to take some quick update photos. Not the best quality images but enough for you all to see that I have been doing something, haha.

Continuing on the Pod Racer, these parts went together with a bit of fiddling

I found the edge looked rather clunky on the inlet's edge. filling it down thinner made it look better. the modified one is on the left.

Nice work Octane, i'll have to remember that about the inlet edge.

I redid the bottom of the cockpit, it's better. still not great, but better. it was a battle to get the two halves together.

Looking awesome, Octane! I don't like many vehicles from the pre-sequels, but Anakin's podracer is one of them. 

Really nice paint work on Chewie, Nuc. I could never do anything that subtle with my airbrush. :-(

Anyway, decided to jump in with the Bandai Y-Wing, so put this beast away for now:

And started on the Y pit:

I'm just gonna have fun with this build and see where it takes me. :-)

Nice start Porkbits. I like the Helo as well.

 

Thanks, Bish! This should be fun. Glad to be part of the GB.

Quick update....

Front, cockpit and a good portion of the fuselage assembled. Man, ppl weren't kidding about Bandai's molding skills, I'm impressed--greeblie-o-rama:

While waiting for some Alclad copper to arrive (for the piping), I'm going to tackle the engines and then start priming and painting.

Now thinking of doing the Fine Molds 1/48 X-Wing next. 

Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Bish! But whoops...when does it officially end?? Guess I forgot to read the fine print....

This GB ends on the day Ep VII is released, Dec 18th. Ep VIII is due for release in May 2017, so I plan on starting the next GB in August next year.

But don't worry to much if your build isn't finished by the time the GB ends.

Oh, phew. I thought you were going to write that it ends next week. :-) I'll definitely have the Y finished by December, and maybe have the X-Wing started.

Thanks....

Porkbits, the Y-wing  is coming along nicely. Glad to hear Bandai did a good job, looking forward to the finish.

Bish, you know there is another Star Wars movie coming out next year (Dec.2016). You could probably have one  GB  for the Empire and one for the rebels.

Hey, as far as a sci-fi GB goes, this has been a smashing success. We are a small segment on this forum, but you managed to get some hard core armor and plane guys on here. Besides you know I am always down for a star wars GB. As for incorporating the other factions, I don't know how that would work. Maybe a scum and villainy GB?

As for my build, I am working on the bow caster. Hopefully I will finish this soon. Will try and get pics up at the end of the weekend.

Thanks for the encouragement. Let me think on how this can work. Ep VII is due in May 2017 so I was thinking an August 2016 start for the next GB. But how about rather than 2 GB's, I do one but with two rosters and two badges.

Question is, who are the good guys and who's the baddies

Look forward to seeing those pics.

Question is, who are the good guys and who's the baddies?

As Obi-Wan wisely said, "That all depends on your point of view." 

Intrigue! I like it. 

And thanks, NMT. I primed the fuselage last night and started work on the engines.

Heck, if at the tail end of this GB I'm the only person posting a build, I don't mind. Still fun.

There is still plenty of time to start and finish a model and there are plenty of people that have not posted anything. You may not be the only one posting Porkbits. I still have to finish Chewie and I am still planning to get 3Po going. I actually do have a little work started already.

Hopefully I'll be starting my AT-AT soon.  I just need to finish my He-219.  Now that I'm back from vacation I'll hopefully get cracking on it again.

Porkbits, you sound like one of those plucky freedom fighters.

Lol. And I'm also that freedom fighter in the movie who's first off the troop transport and gets blasted to bits two seconds into battle. Ah well.
