I was asked to post my Star Wars Slave 1 Quarttet here. So here it is, to the Admin if its wrong here , feel free to move this Thread
About 2 years ago we from IPMS Austria planned a Special "40 Years of SW" for our Exhibition in March 2017. So i cannot shut up as always and so it begins........i want to built the Jango and Boba Fett Slave 1's.
A long searching for the Finemolds kits long out of production, and after i have them my enthusiasm was gone.......
But then, also as always, way too late, i begin with glueing and sanding, rescribing and painting.
My plan was 2 of them in Flightmodus and the others in landingposition on kamino and Bespin.But as i recieved only 1 Boba Fett version a bit of casting parts and cut down the kitparts followed.
And lights everywhere with Lightfibres and LEDs. I use prefabricated LEDs for 12V .
So here we go....first i show the Parts that are for all Slaves the Same
Boxroundup
Parts, Parts, Parts,....
For the 2 Machines in landed Position i build a Interior from Scratch, Partsbox and a lot of Imagination an Fantasy.....
For the Thruster i go another way then most modellers, most of them cast this in clear resin. But i dont like the Look so i go the complcatet way with halfround tube, semiopaque Plasticard , a bit of orange clear Tube and filler....painting is done with Tamiya, Gunze and Revell Acrylics,
Next Step was to cast the Cockpit from the 1 Boba kit that i have, this was fun
Here is left the Originalpart and right the altered Recast
for the landed mode i altered the Recast by adding some Parts of a Uboatkit and parts from the Scrapbox. I use roughly the Cutawaypic from the SW Book. Also the Seats from the Kit where altered with tiny bits of plastic to show 'em folded up.Trying to get lucas imagination how this a bit weird cockpit should work.
The Same happende to the jango machine, but without recasting anything. but cutting out the Sidewallmonitors for lighting.
And here i build a Rocketlauncher as seen in SW 2 " Attack of the Clones"
as you can see i drilled many Holes here for lighting, this will be next...........
