Ian DoodyNext 1/72 Bandai Star Wars kit, B-Wing. Think I want this to be different to the movie one, so possibly Green or Blue Squadron, or something else, not sure. Just snapped most of it together, to get a clue about sub assemblies, and where the paints going. The Sullustian Pilot is teeny tiny, eeny weenie.

Gareth LloydNice 😎
Green squadron is a good one to go for, I've made one of those. The grey blue and light grey stripes front and back are good masking practice😊and gives plenty of weathering options.

TreehuggerI think maybe this is the special edition, with the alternative pilot figure.

Gareth Lloyd@Treehugger, I'm guessing you mean from the top of the cockpit to the big cannons at the 'bottom'? Although it can fly in pretty much any orientation.
Quick measurement on My Bandai ones gives roughly 24cm (9.45 inch)

Ian DoodyB-Wing Cockpit and the Galaxies smallest Sullustan Pilot, Bien Numb. Looks like I'm going for Orange Squadron with this one. It's amazing he is painted at all, 1/72 really is too small for me now.

Ian DoodyThat's it for today, I'm going in a totally different direction to the boxart version. Thinking Brown Two lol 😆 or a member of Orange Squadron. I'll see where I end up.

Ian DoodyNot much done on this recently, as I've not been in the mood. A very long way still to go, just blocking in basic colours still. But, it does look like a B-Wing.

Gareth LloydLooking for inspiration? This was mine : [img1] (still trying to push you towards a Green Squadron 😉 )

Ian DoodyFor the moment, this project is now on hold, until inspiration hits me again. At a future point, I'll pick it back up and finish it. But for now I have to get back to my F1 kits.

Ian Doody1/90ish Bandai Slayn & Korpil A/SF-01B B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter. End of day one. So far, so cool. New lighting, and brand new painting chair, seem to be working together. Really like the direction this one's going. "Orange 5" Rogue Squadron.

Ian DoodyCockpit almost done. Definitely liking this one, a lot more interesting than the movie version. This is one knackered B-Wing.

Ian DoodyThat's it for another day. Fitted the sensor pods to the neck engine area. Looking nice so far.

Ian Doody@Freak it's just washes, lots of watered down washes, hand painted scratches, and chips, smudged hobby paint. mushed together.

Ian DoodyEngines done on the Bandai B-Wing. And making a start on the lower wing body. Trying to make it look like it's had a few parts replaced from other ships, and has seen a fair few battles. A veterans ship, kept going with whatever the crew chief can get her hands on.

Ian DoodyThis is the last post for the next two weeks on the B, work will continue, and I'll finish it up after my Birthday, probably first week of March. Just blocking in colours and weathering with washes as I go. Then I'll go back over it with chips, and finally add decals and ID markings.

Jennifer FranklinHappy Birthday
Your modeling work is looking good. Look forward to your return.

CaptGPFHappy birthday! Now get back to that B-Wing! 😜
Kidding aside, may you have many more years doing what you love.

Ian DoodyWIP, 1/72 Bandai B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter, painting it as a member of Rogue Squadron. Bored of creamy grey Star Wars stuff. Adding paint that I think makes it interesting to look at, so breaking up large areas with scuffs, scratches and mud splats, rust patches. This is all basic areas, I'll add the Squadron markings eventually.

Ian DoodyRogue Squadron B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter. A bit more painting and weathering done today. Quite pleased how different it looks to the stock B. More to come, have the main lower wing area to do, then weapons, then Squadron ID markings.
