Oh the one at the front is an imperial star destroyer.
Also today I learned my phone camera doesn't take a picture of everything in frame which is annoying. It cuts off the edges.

This is on the front of the vehicle with no (English) name. I'm not sure if its like a land speeder from phantom menace(when they made a distraction so padme could escape via starship) or during the sarlacc scene. It has a gun mounted to it.

It looks complicated judging by the pic... Lots of little parts.
>>80089200
Why would that matter? I've had two long terms gfs that I've lived with, but I have been single for a long time and I don't care for hookups.

The plastic stuff didnt come off nicely and left residue behind so I'm wiping it down.
First step done, not sure I put it on the correct side though.

I think the bottom is done now.
These little rails were the hardest so far. Very bendy and I ended up doing two tabs bent inward and one outward so they stay on.
Its not very hard, just bending/flattening(if external) or twisting(if hidden/inside) little tabs.
The needle nose pliers are very helpful

Scratch that.
Making these were the hardest thing.
Need like a pencil or something.
I have to make 4 more smaller ones I think.

I ended up using a centre punch to help get the rounded angle but it's rough.

Booty view
Ty for reading my blog.
>>
>>80088712
That's pretty neat.
I would have gone nuts for that when I was a kid.
I'm tempted to order some.

How long is the model?

>>80091428
>>80091435

Same here anon, but we were poor when I was a kid.
About 110mm or 4 5/16 inches I think
Needle nose pliers, some thin gloves(to stop marks), some coned objects like a pencil, maybe a pair of tweezers and I think you will have a nice time. It wasn't frustrating or anything, just nice and peaceful with some music playing.
Maybe grab one you dont mind not looking great while you learn how to make the twists and folds nice and tight.
>>80091467
The metal looks nice and suits these types of models more than insect ones. I hope it doesn't tarnish too bad.
