Tie Defenders Fly Backwards!

So I'm super excited to try out the upcoming Imperial Veterans expansion for X-wing, and I want to talk about how awesome the newly revealed pilot Countess Ryad is.

Interdictor WIP 5.5

More progress on the Interdictor. The right side has come along far faster than the left side did, but the next series of panels for it will take a while to finish as they are a lot more complex.

Interdictor WIP 5.0

I hit another milestone today by finishing the paneling on the port (left) side of the Interdictor raised "gun deck".

The process I'm using involves making a stencil first before making each panel, and up until this point I've just been tossing the stencils after I've made the panel. This worked well for the first 2/3 of the model as I wanted the details to be asymmetrical, but as I want both gun decks to be identical I've numbered and saved each stencil and panel. Hopefully this will speed up the process on the right side.

Close up of the panel work for the gun decks.

It looks pretty good from the left. The Tie/D is for scale purposes.

Interdictor WIP 4.0

Ok it's been a long while since I last posted an update in the Interdictor, I've been quite busy over the last two months and have had to steal time away here and there when I could.

Molding the gravity well generator is still on hold but will happen soon, I've gotten my equipment back from my friend's place 2 states over and purchased the replacement hose I needed for the air compressor.

Now that I'm back from another training course with the National Guard I've found a bit of time to finish converting my Word Bearer's Chaos Contemptor Dreadnought.

Check him out in all his majesty!

So I've been doing more work on my Word Bearers, I think we finally have achieved good positive inertia on this project. You know, the point at which it's easier to keep going then to stop, kind of like the descent into chaos actually...





EDIT: I apologize for the graininess of these photos.  I was posting from my iPhone and sometimes it does a terrible job uploading photos.  I'll take better ones and replace these as they look like ass.

++++INLOADING DATAFILE 093++++ Autocannon test model

So I'm still working away on these guys, for a while now I've wanted to try doing a Havoc Squad with Autocannons using a bunch of Reaper Autocannons I've had for a while.

This is the first one I've put together as a test model. Still needs lots of finishing touches.
