Hi everyone just wanted to say hello and i look forward to exploring this site

1/32 Phantom kits come with one of two types of "turkey feathers" (the ring of exhaust cone petals): short or long. Some X-wings used the long variant, but I'm doing Red 2 and therefore need the short variant. 

Here's what the long ones look like:

   

Here's the short ones:

   

Hello everyone.

I'm on the hunt for a Bandai 1/24 Panther G. I need a second full kit for my build. These used to pop up on eBay often enough but now I haven't seen one in a few months.

So if anyone has one in their stash they'd be willing to part with, please shoot me a message.

thanks
David

Hello hello hello

Now why I didn't find this forum any sooner, will be forever a mystery to me .... but oh well .. better late than never I guess

KrokoHunter aka Niels aka Third member of the Backstreet Boys singing trio from the Nerf Herders   

Danish Studio Scale and Prop builder .. more Studio Scale - Less Prop these days .... and I also dabble in a bit of Figure Painting and Scifi Model kits here and there.


My main areas for builds are Star Wars (Star Wars also being my dayjob as Design Manager in the LEGO Star Wars Team), Battlestar Galactica, Alien ... and would love to do some Trek at some point.


I've been in the community for +15 years ..... but not really finished a tremendous amount of projects ..... I tend to spend too much on researching and dreaming of new projects .... and less time on actually finishing projects .... would hope to change that in the near future  ... one can always dream, right

I bought a part-started Belfast for extra cheap before I knew 1) that I needed this part; 2) it is one of the first parts to be used in the kit's build instruction. So I thought I was getting a deal, but this part had already been gummed up and over-sanded  

It's part #4, I believe:

   

See my inventory:
My TIE kits are here.
My X-Wing kits are here.

Going to start this guy today. It’s 1/48 and my first resin model. I printed it on my Elegoo Saturn 12K. 

Any advice for getting crips lines on the black parts of the wings? I see some paint the blue then mask and paint the black and I’ve seen some that paint the black, mask, and then paint the blue. Is one way better than the other?
   

i am making a "kit" of the X-wing, i have one i scratch built (like even the kit parts) years ago and also a Salzo V3, but that kit is pretty crappy in many ways

i do want to have one of each SS X-Wing so i am essentially making a kit so i can have 10 or so for myself and a couple friends

here is my first video for it

I ordered a Morser Karl and got the Morser Karl box, but inside was a Leopold kit. 

So....as I'm trying to build a 232 pod, would anyone out there like to trade those parts for my Leopold parts?

Hoping someone has the AMT International Payhauler 350 that would be will to part with the dash (Part #39). I have loads of parts to trade - just send me your needs.  

Thanks!
Marc
