October 10, 2023Looks like a lightsaber assembly line... just call me Huyang.5
October 10, 2023Decals possibly making them look a bit less lightsaber-y and a bit more Brimstone-y.
For the 1:32, doing one trio of inert training rounds and one trio live (1:72 doing all as live rounds).
Bottom left is the one I've christened "Nemo", because he's got a slightly dicky fin (I got a bit heavy handed when removing from 'sprue').6
October 12, 2023All the decals on now and a coat of varnish to protect. Also, after a week of thinking about it, worked out how to trim off the bits of sprue left on the bottoms of the tiny 1:72 clear seeker domes (no spares, ~1mm diameter) without risking pinging one across the room and losing it.
(Grew fingernails over a week, used bit of Blue-Tak to hold one at a time while pressing against fingernails to stop it disappearing into the Blue-Tak, and carefully trimmed off with side-cutters.)
Happy - should all sit flush now. Just got to not lose one as I attach them to the fuselages now... and I'll probably lose a 1:32 one after all that!!7

October 15, 2023In one of my display cases with some other bits and pieces (Exocets, Storm Shadows, Eurocopter Tiger, Hind and Shinden - not much of a theme to this case!)
