TLJ Resistance Bomber.

[Ralphee]

This will be my next endeavour alongside the TESB Hospital ship.
A couple of nice scratchbuilds to play with.
Already have a good amount of IDs made so next up some maps, and try nail the rest.
Be kinda fun working on a new model, using old kit parts, it' quite a nice size too so this will start as soon as supplies land.
Massive thanks to those who photographed this in New York.

I see the same ol heat sink and the f-4 phantom jet engine, so far

[Ralphee]

There are quite a few cool donors on this one Jerry.
Flak, 88mm, 25pdr,  Marder etc.

i was looking at the pics with my phone and couldnt see some other stuff but it wasnt really clear, so, that is cool! look forward to seeing this start, but you never know, others may follow too!

[Apophis]

i see some morser karl and leopold on it.
are there anymore pics of this?

[Ralphee]

Yes buddy both of those appear on it. I have a few more pics that some good soul took in NY.
I have the dimensions about spot on now too so just waiting on a big EMA order to land and I can start.

[Ralphee]

There are images across the internet though Jerry, I'll post up what I have when  I get chance but by all means have a hunt about buddy.

Lee

[Apophis]

Awesome!
Obviously you’ve been doing all of the hard work searching and stuff, I was just wondering about the pics is all, didn’t even dream that there was a physical model out there of anything from the new films, that really great.
I’m really interested in following your work, you’ve always done amazing work Lee.

[Ralphee]

Buddy I'll post what I have soon so you can take a look.
This is what is called a franchise Maquette i believe.
Its quite a nice size, a chunky little model, and a fresh subject to tinker away at.
Thanks for the kind words Jerry, all will be shared as I go of  course for all to see, it'll be a challenge, but a lot of fun.

ooh nice!
Sounds like it uses a few of the same kits as the Narcissus too!
Will be watching with interest.

[Apophis]

i havent been this excited about a build since i modified that U wing toy

[Ralphee]

Some very basic Hull progress.


Lee

[Apophis]

Awesome! Great start!

[darkimmitator]

Very nice . How did you achieve this shape , and what materials did you use ?

[Ralphee]

Primarily ABS tubing, and some then custom made parts to match the studio built prop.
Getting there on kit IDs, most of what is staple I've found, while others are hand made on the original that I'll have to get creative with.
It's a nice size, next up is to make up the lower wing box section and armature. From there I can start cutting apertures and access pits etc. 

Lee

[Ralphee]

Finally getting a bit more involved on this. Still some clean up and tweaking to do, but not half bad, hand made baby.

Lee

[darkimmitator]

excellent progress , more please !

[Ralphee]

Thanks, have a more clear slate so going to be working more or less solely on this now.

Lee

[Apophis]

Very very nice! Nice and clean.

[Ralphee]

Thanks Jerry 

Lee

[peza]

I'll keep me eyes on this build. Good start buddy. Peza

[Turrican]

How did you cut out this cockpit so clean....by hand!!

[Ralphee]

Thanks Peza, hope to get a bit more done Sunday.
Stefan....mad skills buddy lol, nah, just patience mate, and a steady hand.

Lee

[Ralphee]

Made a  bit more progress. Some parts will be elaborated due to the lack of ref...but hopefully not too many. They will this time be parts that are period to the SW donor timeline and not too weird lol. In any case.
