As I mentioned in my last post, I have started working on the FineMolds 1/72 scale X-Wing. My progress has been extremely slow for a couple of reasons. First, The process is quite a bit more complex than putting together a miniature the has 10 parts at the most. I have taken a lot of time to read articles written by people that have built the model and what they did. I have spent more time than was really necessary examining the instructions and thinking about how I was going to do things. The second reason is that I haven’t built a scale model since I was in high school. Back then I wasn’t very careful or patient. I always ended up with glue on everything and would often put things in the wrong place because I hadn’t read the instructions through or very carefully. So, now I find myself fretting every time I glue something that it will be in the wrong place. I am totally mental!
Anyway, this is what I have accomplished in all of this time. I just need to paint up the pilot and then I can install the cockpit in the fuselage. Then I can get the airbrush out and start painting. I hope I can loosen up and get more done in less time, so there is something to post in a shorter time frame.
Looking forward to seeing this finished off...the larger models always intimidate me!
