Hi fellas :hi:

After the disaster that is The Last Jedi, I discovered a newfound respect for the prequels 😮
They seem to have gotten better with age.jar jar not withstanding, of course!

So I got this from eBay. Looks like a very simple build, but should look cool on my star wars shelf.

Great looking ship... although I'm still not convinced about "Phantom Menace" being respectable :)

trust me, if you can blank out jar jar and anakins winging, they are pretty good. and way more practical effects than people realise! watch them again after watching the last jedi and you'll agree (honest :oops: )

hey fellas :hi:

as suspected, this didn't take long!

just the cockpit to paint, its quite small, more-so with the pilot in. so that didn't take long.

then it was just a case of screwing the parts together.

Image

once together, i gave it a bit of a panel wash. Ultimate dark dirt on the silver parts and mud on the yellow.

Image

weathering will be next on the agenda.

thanks for looking in! :cheers2:
