Go BIG. Blow up the logo and eliminate the text just the ram’s head underneath. With proper planning you could make that an incredible design!

Oh ho.... now you got me thinking! :hmm:

I’ve been experimenting on different design patterns but never thought about blowing up the logo. Good thing I’ve got Paint.NET program....

It's a real nice logo... it would be a shame to see it just small. Although you could use it as a base then do a smaller logo more fighter jet style? Anyway I am excited to see where you take this!

Made a little progress on the X-Wing while I'm at a standstill on the '55 Chevy Bel Air. This all from step one section off the Bandai instruction guide. The instruction guide is a bit tricky to follow but I was careful not to make mistakes.

Looks like we're both in the same stage.

Trouble is, can’t read Japanese for color call outs (other than red, yellow, and black) on instruction guide. :bag: :headbang: :headbang:
