Dietmar BogatzkiDamit würde ich mich gleich an Revell Abteilung X wenden, geht ja gar nicht, die Sinkstellen und auch das Fenster..

Erik OffBei Bild 1 frage ich mich, ist die raue oder die glatte Oberfläche die richtige? Bei der rauen sind die Details ganz schön verwaschen.

Michael OsadciwYour build looks great, but yikes, I'm not thrilled with Revell's molding quality. Certainly not a Bandai Star Wars kit.
14 January 2022, 20:10
Chris T. AnThank you all for watching. Now I have improved all the problem areas, and it was less work than expected. So in conclusion I must say that the kit is really cool, I'm enjoying the build.
Next steps are adding more battle damage and some small surface damages before painting the hull.

Gary KitchenChris loving your build so far. A notch above mine for sure. Have you dry fitted the top d bottom of the hull yet? Im seeing some resistance and wondering if the cockpit is too high, although can't get it any lower.
16 January 2022, 22:41
Chris T. AnThanks for your praise, Gary. In fact, I haven't put the top on yet including the interior block. You're scaring me now. Today or tomorrow I will probably be ready to test it. I will report back.

Gareth BurgeLooks great so far Chris, definitely keen to see how this goes. Loving the wee Grogu figures...can I ask where you sourced them from?
17 January 2022, 11:11
Chris T. AnThank you Gareth. A good friend of mine printed the figures and he told me that he got the files from Thingiverse for free.

Pierre Pierremy problem is : I just bought one for my christmass tree 🙂 and now I really do not know how my skills is not at your level and I still want to do something worth seeing for everyone ! I need an orginal idea for this kit 🙂 congrat it is really amazing detailling
17 January 2022, 15:45
Chris T. AnSo Gary, I had no bigger problems with putting the parts together. Some putty and sanding will be required but the cockpit height is ok. Maybe the Mando figure is too tall. I did not use it inside the cockpit.
@Pierre: please don't give a damn about my abilities. I also only boil with water and patience is probably the biggest challenge. The metallic paint job already makes me feel sick. I've seen great finishes on the Razor Crest with LED lights and so on... that I will never be able to achieve. So don't worry, just do it.

TorstenVery nice progress. When I see the pictures after assembly, the model seems to become quite a hunk. I'll keep the idea of the orange in the engines in mind, I'm not that talented in electronics either. I am curious about the further painting of the metals. Do you have pictures of the "original" or do you work intuitively?
22 January 2022, 09:30
Chris T. AnTorsten, for inspiration I have been looking for various photos from the series and also for built models. With this input, I am now trying to design the surface according to my ideas. I guess it would be really hard to render every single panel exactly like in the movie, because there are just no clear color specifications for every square inch of the surface. It's science fiction, so you can let your imagination run wild.
22 January 2022, 19:12
Pierre Pierrehi can you let us know which technique did you use to differenciate pannels ?
23 January 2022, 12:21
Chris T. AnOf course, I masked off all the panels one after the other and sprayed them with the airbrush. 😉
No no, I wanted to do that first, but have previously tried another method that works great:
3-4 drops of metallic paint (Vallejo Model Air Aluminum) diluted with 2 drops of water and then mix a drop of tinting color (light brown, dark brown, black, gray, etc.). The whole thing can then be distributed very well with a fine brush on the individual panels, without seeing brush strokes. The recessed panellines help wonderfully.
23 January 2022, 14:10
Robin (WhiteGlint)Sounds like a nice way of doing this. Otherwise you'd need all that time and more for masking. 👍
23 January 2022, 15:21
Tim van DooremalenInteresting technique for the panels. Got to remember that one.
23 January 2022, 16:15
Spanjaardit sounds a hell lot faster than masking and airbrushing. and certainly looks good
23 January 2022, 18:16
Gary KitchenStill going strong Chris. Great work on the metallic externals, certainly adds a touch of individuality. Otherwise all these Razor Crests will look a bit samey. Interior nozzle choice is interesting too 👍.
23 January 2022, 19:50
TorstenMaybe I missed it, but did you use the decals from the kit? I had read that there could be problems with the cover due to the metallic surface and that it is too translucent.
29 January 2022, 09:03
Chris T. AnTorsten, yes I used the decals. Wanted to try it and if it hadn't worked well, I would have removed it again and painted it myself. But I had no problems. With Microscale Set and Sol the decals sink wonderfully into the recesses, there is no silvering. And after the first wash they don't look so "artificial" anymore.
29 January 2022, 22:06
TorstenThanks Chris, I'm currently collecting all the info on the build so I can get mine to work just as well one day 🙂
30 January 2022, 08:33
JDI've been meaning to say something about how fantastic the paint job looks, and how cool the build is and all, but even as a Star Wars nerd, I've yet to see a single episode of the Mandalorian.. how embarrassing 🥺
30 January 2022, 22:45
Gareth BurgeAgree on all counts there JD! stunning work on the painting...high target for the rest of us! As for not watching Mando yet JD? Go and sit on the naughty step and don't come back until you've watched it! :-D
31 January 2022, 12:23
Tim van DooremalenThe addition of a little Grogu really finishes it off! How big (or small) is that 3D-printed Grogu anyway?
5 February 2022, 13:05
Chris T. AnThank you all. Next step is creating a simple landig pad for the Razor Crest to take the final pictures.
Tim, the Grogu is 9mm small. 😉
5 February 2022, 18:24
Gary KitchenGoing strong Chris. Looking fabulous. I hope I can get even somewhere near this and I'd be happy.
6 February 2022, 09:12
Gareth BurgeOutstanding work...weathering is spot on. Now I just need to find somewhere that will sell me a 1/72nd Grogu.... 🙂
10 February 2022, 08:39
TorstenIt was very exciting and interesting to follow your construction of the Razor Crest. Some of it I will implement when building mine and also benefit from your experience. In the end, in my opinion, a very nice model has come out and the base supports this very effectively, because you look more at the model. Congratulations 🙂
Now I just have to see how I get to the little figure, which is for me the icing on the cake 😄
11 February 2022, 14:31
Simon NagorsnikAwesome finish! I really like the weathered look!
An ollover well done paint job, very nice presented 👍
The little yoda and the inside details enliven the whole thing very much.
11 February 2022, 14:54
Robin (WhiteGlint)Result is great! Awesome weathering and little Grogu is a very nice detail. 👍
11 February 2022, 22:22
Thomas Bischoffgreat result! I especially like the exhausts - looks very cool and convincing and I can only repeat that little Grogu is the icing on the cake 👍
12 February 2022, 07:59
Chris T. AnThank you all so much for your positive words. I appreciate it very much. 😉
I have now taken a few more photos with less light, so the illuminated landing platform comes better into its own.
13 February 2022, 07:16
Rui SIncredible finishing 👍 Never expected you would do this kind of weathering. Great
13 February 2022, 17:15
DanielI was just browsing around, wondering if I should maybe try something new, maybe some SciFi, weathered heavy metal, bounty hunter style and then I see this build - Dude, this is beyond awesome, absolutely stunning result 👍 👍
Buying this kit.
16 February 2022, 22:53
JDOk, now that I'm up to episode 6 of the Mandalorian, I can definitely say.. This is the way
Well done Chris!
23 February 2022, 20:13
Chris T. AnSo JD, how could you stop watching without completing the whole season? 🤣
1 March 2022, 15:51
JDWell…🙄 it's mostly a money thing. my cable bill is already through the roof, and I have a kit buying addiction to feed.🤭
1 March 2022, 19:07
Chris T. AnTim, the figures are a resin print with my new Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. I was so excited about my friend's Grogu filament 3D print, so I figured a resin printer would be perfect for a modeler. I'm still exploring exposure times and support settings. But it's coming along.
2 March 2022, 09:50
Tim van DooremalenCool to hear you've got your own 3d printer now! Could you add a close-up picture of just the figures perhaps? And where did you download the file?
3 March 2022, 17:51
Chris T. AnDietmar, yes, the Slave 1 is Revell. You can find my build here:
Star Wars Slave 1 "Boba Fett" | Album by Hell-Mood (1:88)
Tim, I have now uploaded the pictures of the figures. The files are free from thingiverse.com
4 March 2022, 16:30
Tim van DooremalenThanks for the pictures! I'm amazed by the print quality at that size 😮
4 March 2022, 18:17
Chris T. AnAgain thanks to you all. I will try to print a Mandalorian Naboo N-1 Fighter some day, so that there are 3 ships all together.
13 April 2022, 11:42
CaptGPFMasterpiece build! But I think the "defects" you pointed out in the earlier slides were actually dings and dents Revell thoughtfully put into the kit so you don't have to! 😱. If you notice in Season 1, the poor ship had to go through quite a bit of abuse, so Revell did you a favor. The flash you see on the kit was also a bonus…. 🤨

Album info
Welcome to this cool Star Wars build. First I just want to show a few close ups of problem areas because there are several discussions on the web.
Don't get me wrong, I think the kit is great and I'm excited to have started now. As a reasonably accomplished modeler, it's nothing you can't handle. Nevertheless, of course, annoying for such a new tool.
So folks, it's not a Bandai, but it's not a 70's kit either. So feel free to try it. The details are impressive.
