Re: New First Strike Model (not available in the shops)

For selling what? The figure is just a joke obviously, and if you're talking about the Freerunner, the design was obviously donated free of charge to the modeller.

Don't worry, we're still beavering away on the mod.

Lol! Never have expected a mod to start marketing!

Mods sell merchandise all the time, it's a perfectly good way to raise money. I think FS isn't allowed to, though, since Star Wars is copyrighted and all that.

Anyhow back to it, and here is another update from Yoda Jammies with piccies.

Enjoy.

Hello!

Just finished with the primer. I used one coat, then sanded that one down and added one more. These are the results. Next comes the hard part (but the fun part too): painting.

Thanks Talon. Well, what do you think so far?

As for a paint deco-- I'm thinking of matching the screenshots of the craft from the Mod (grey with red and yellow stripes).

Looking good fella,

Looks like you had a bit of a hard job having to sand away the Rapid Prototyping process lines, but it looks like the surface detail is pretty much still intact. Certainly looks better with the primer now applied, also liking the detail effect on the shields around the main gun, looks really good.

Paint scheme wise I'd go with the gold/yellow stripe paint job, and a really weathered looking grey/brown hull, I think with a lot of dirt and weathering, especially a lot of oil and grease streaks around the engineering section at the back.

This model should look really cool once painted.

Keep up the good work.

cool

Re: New First Strike Model (not available in the shops)

Wow, this is actually pretty neat - but isn't it "illegal" to sell merchandise from the Star Wars franchise - fan made or not? It's great though...

Re: New First Strike Model (not available in the shops)

Well it wasn't sold. The modeller wanted the design for our version of the Freerunner so I gave it to him. No money has passed hands over this. Oh, and if you're talking about the Sandtrooper, that was just a joke.
