Model builder Steve Carricato has finished the Newly released
Revell X wing from the force awakening Star Wars movie.
First thing I did was I carved out the seat and added my own pilot.
The pilot is half of Anakin Naboo fighter legs and a 15 millimeter
gaming figure thet had Star Wars helmets. Next I drilled out the
engine so I could light it with orange LED.
Step2 was drilling tiny holes for the mag wire to fit
inside the fuselage. (Mag wire is the size of your hair )
Step 3 I drilled holes in the cockpit and added fiber
optics at the end of the fiber optics was one clear LED and a green
one for the navigation screen.
Step 4 I wired it all to ear phone jack at the back of
the fuselage. This will be the stand for the power supply. I then
added extra detail on the engines and bits of squares all over the ship
and closing off the landing gear holes, for in flight mode. Next I airbrushed
blue color to the bottom wings because the model comes pre-painted from the
top but not on the bottom.
Last weathering pastels and washes finished.
