Oh wait. Its NOW. And that workbench isnt too far away. From my point of view at least.
Now that the Heinkel "Salamander" and the Tau "Devilfish" are complete, its time for another wingy build. Of course I like SciFi a lot (as most of you know ), so its no wonder that I got the new X-Wing from Episode VII here.The kit itself is an "Easy kit". I plan the following:
-a complete repaint
-maybe a reworked cockpit (original pictures are rare these days, if you have some, please let me know - would be great.)
-and a special setting.
Some words about the special setting:
Id like to keep it simple,. but different. I found a picture on the web thats just perfect:
A small, but powerful scenery and a bit off the movie-based sceneries probably most modelers will do (what doesnt mean at all that this is a bad thing
).The kit is in 1/50 scale and so I had to look for smaller figures than my 1/48 figures in the stash. First idea were some Hasegawa NAVY ground crew figures, but theyre too big. Who is famous for too small figures in that scale? Right - TAMIYA always does.
Found two suitable ones and rebuild them in civilian, based on two soldiers from the "US infantry at rest" set (No. 32552).
Not sure about the blue scheme, some early scribbles show other colors too:
Stay tuned...
