Thankee kindly. There is so much reference to unpack - a lot of it resides in my cranium - I hope I am providing enough of an introduction. Folks, I need your assistance either sourcing the 1/24 pilot or equivalent for the cockpit. Here are a few more Floki images!

Bruce, that thing is so cool.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

With all due respect to all our mods, supervisors, forum members, passerby, etc, a four letter word is incoming! I am going to paint the shit outta this. Happy Easter.

Oh, and this fella was 8 bucks on eBay.

He should be easily modded into a tie pilot
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Wow... And wow. I am on this show too. I am really interested how parts will fit while they are printed in different processes.

Marius, welcome aboard! I’m curious as well how to best adhere everything together once printed.

Tolerances between resin and filament appear to be fair, although Clint is certainly much more versed in a direct reply. I believe resin was chosen specifically for the level of detail. My other concern is sanding the command ball. I have very little experience with sanding a 3D printed piece whose outer shape must remain round.
