Acrylic flat clear was then applied in sections to the entire model.I worked around the Nebulon B model, to understand how the hangar can be made. Pastel chalk was then used for streaking, enhancing the panel lines, blurring any wash lines, and color tinting the various hull sections.
Then both acrylic and enamel washes were used for the initial weathering, followed by pencil for some added panel lines. The several colors colors were used on individual panels and details. The decals are a 1/4 sized copy of the Fine Molds 1/72nd scale X-Wing markings.Īfter several primer coats to eliminate the light leaks, a light grey base coat was applied. The landing gear are scratch built with electrical contact pins and plastic. 032 inch safety wire, and added sheet styrene "dishes". I replaced the single plastic gun spire with.
I used sprue and white putty to fill in the gaps between the engines in the rear.
I added a complement of fighters to the flight deck. Besides, it’s a lot easier and more fun to build freestyle. I decided to take some artistic license for kit parts. The engine module is sheet styrene over a wood frame and forward super structure is made from a combination of wood, plastic and kit bashed parts that I have accumulated over the years. I started with an old drafting T-square, laminated wood, Plexi-glass and polystyrene plastic to form the spine. It’s a tough model, surviving multiple moves. I started this project in early 2001, and it remained undisturbed up until recently. I call this ship the Flight II version, as it has an elongated forward hull to accommodate the flight deck and a slightly larger engineering section. This is a large scale model similar to the Medical Frigate seen at the end of Star Wars Episode V, and again in Episode VI.
