My first SS build...Escape Pod - Jcoffman99 - 02-03-2020
Hi all,
This is my first ever build. Except for one Bandai At-ST, I’m completely new to modeling. Here are come pics of my progress. Tips are always welcome.

Looking good. Use to be one of my favourite models. What kit is that?
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - Jcoffman99 - 02-03-2020
Sadly it’s a Golden Armor. I wasn’t aware of the issues with the seller until after I paid.
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - JAWS - 02-06-2020
You got the kit. What problems did you have?
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - Jcoffman99 - 02-07-2020
It was missing the three small engines and the main engine exhausts were a mess. I’m in the process of rebuilding them now.

Got the small bits on am starting to fill in the gap around the top.

Looking good. It's a challenging paint job on this model. Good luck

Snow days mean more time to play with toxic chemicals!!
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - JAWS - 02-08-2020
Hope you have good ventilation.

So I’m trying to build the engines since the once I received weren’t even close. These are rough casts, but what do you think?
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - JAWS - 02-10-2020
Good effort. You have experience in molding & casting?
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - Jcoffman99 - 02-10-2020
Nope. Learning as I go.
RE: My first SS build...Escape Pod - JAWS - 02-11-2020
Excellent.
If you want any tips just ask.

My SLA printer came yesterday. This will make things much easier.

Finally, thanks to a friend's modeling skills got a stl of the engine. I can finally get back to this. Especially now that the weather is nice enough to go outside and sand.
