H_Solo Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Thank you all! Well, it's not exactly cheap to BL the MF... And of course I made some mistakes along the way (paid to much for shipping, bought a lot from LEGO directly, made accidental double orders and so on...) I recon I paid something around 850 Euro for the whole thing including shipping, but without the really expensive parts (mainly boat rigging and radardish) mind you. I think I'm already at a good start with my new BL project, though... I already bought about 1000 black tiles for the Death Star hangar diorama at Legoland last week... Brandnew and shiney and incredibly cheap! Can't wait to get started on this one! Quote

H_Solo Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Thank you, Iceman! I'm lucky indeed to be granted this kind of "madness" around the house... I did some new photos of the brickbuilt radar dish I rebuild today and that I wanted to share: The added greebling gives the eye something more to wander about at the dish and changing the spokes to LBG gives it a more "solid" or "technical" look as with the DBG ones... I had one of the Battle Droid arms in tan color and added it for a little difference in the pattern... looks nice, but dark red would be even nicer imho. And some new pictures of the Red Five X-Wing I built yesterday... very nice building experience and a fantastic model, indeed! But as I'm so hard pressed for shelf space I had to place it on the ground below the Falcon... I took a lot of care with the canopy stickers... cut out the inner part with the clear stickers and applied the remaining thin frames using water with a drop of dishwashing soap, kind of sliding the stickers in place than drying them completely and pressing them onto the canopy piece. That worked like a charm and looks really stunning imho. Here's the rest of my "to-do's"... got most of it during a little shopping-spree, while having a 20% rebate-card for a local store...
