X Plane




Ive started putting bondo on the top surface. Its very close so
I'm going to start work on the underside next. Adding the engines
and then primer both sides. then i can start to add the detail, like
panel lines and vents to the plane.

X men X plane






I started building the Xmens plane, the length will be 31 in and the width about 26.5 at the wing tips. I started by laminating sheets of foam and tracing out the basic
shape. Once i have the basic shape roughed out i will coat the foam in
bondo and primer. then i will add the panel detailing and mold.
I am considering kitting this, e mail me if interested.

other projects underway.





The first picture is of a destroyer droid, in primer. I built this as a birthday present for my nephew.

The next one is of a Hail fire droid from EP2, although it had about 8 seconds of screen time i really liked the design. so i started building one. as with all the prequel ships, reference photos are very hard to come by.

And this next one. I started building one of my favorites. the X wing fighter. its roughly two foot in length. I drew this out in auto cad, like a boat, with cross sections and cut the stations out. this is what i have so far.

Heres another favorite of mine, The snow speeder, from empire strikes back. almost done just need to get the guns finished up.

And lastly. the finished Destroyer droid. I did this one with almost no reference. Im going to have to build another now that ive got some good reference pics.

All these models are scratch built with styrene, acrylic and kit bashed parts.
