Ruaidhri's Starfighter (WIP/Old MOC) UPDATED 16th Dec.

Does anyone except Jake think this piece would be good on the sides?

In orange maybe. But I already said what I thought about the MOC.

If you can find those pieces in orange Jinja, I think that would work well!

Exo-Force has them. Several I believe. Most had stickers that you were suppose to put on them.

Only in that big orange tank. I think my friend has that one in his attic, so I may be in luck.

Just be lazy and paint over it really carefully and smoothly.

That's a Bricklink image, not something in my collection. The only ones I have are currently in Boba Fett's Slave I, and I really don't want to annoy Fett. In other news, the friend I mentioned has agreed to let me buy the big ornj tank off of him for cheap. I guess I'll pick it up Saturday when I go round to hijack his copy of The Force Unleashed.

Anyway, looks like I'll have to dig out my ISD (now the Outrider alt-model) to nick two bley wing plates, so I'd best get cracking!

Almost-month-old bump! I've taken into account most of your comments (y'know, apart from the stupid ones ) and revamped the starfighter. The nose has been elongated, the angles have been smoothed out, there are guns on the wings, I'm steadily replacing grey with bley and I've added a 1-stud wide SNOT-y bit between the cockpit and engines, which is being greebled slowly but surely. I'll post pictures soon, as I'm feeling motivated tonight, and then I'll see what you've got to say before I start buying and *GASP* painting new pieces (gorram rare rounded slopes!). Brace yourselves for hypersp-... uh, my next post!

This post is so Jinja does not have to triple post. He could just hit edit though...

/Facepalm

Seriously, your ideas say great, can't wait for you to implement them...

Well, I built people up for a new post with 'for my next post' and I didn't want to disappoint!

Anyhoo, not the best pictures ever, but they get the general idea across. Oh, and ignore the dark grey on the nose between the two curved slopes, that's where I'll put some rounded slopes later.





Discuss!

So it's still a WIP. Looks really great, and very well done. The colors are great, and the stickers are also nice (on the windshield) The wierd slnated botom is also a nice touch!

That looks much better! But can we have a shot of the engines?

I absoloutly love how you did the cockpit. And the colors look really nice too, as does the entire rest of the ship! Good work!
