Hi kids,
After the prolonged fight with the Mirage, it was good to have a little 'palate cleanser'. This is the 5th of the superb Bandai Star Wars kits I have built. I decided to have a go at lighting, with the simple but very effective lighting kit from Tirydium Models. I should have shot against a black background really, but haven't got any thing suitable.

Thanks for looking!

UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing.
OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing.
HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you.

Excellent build. I've never done a sci-fi before, but I've got 3 in the wings waiting

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the comments.

I haven't got any shots of the front Ice, I'll see if I can get you one next time I get the camera out.


cheers

Hi Blade,
There's a little battery holder (2 X CR2032s) and a switch under the base of the gun tower and the wiring passes up the support tube. It's a ready made kit from Tirydium Models - add batteries, install as you build the model, switch on! No soldering necessary. I was surprised how long the batteries last, I forgot to turn it off one night and it was still running a good 8 hours later.


cheers
