It will come in pressure cast gray resin, and masks for the windows.

Richard, give Santa his elves back. He NEEDS them.

That coin is not universal. You should use something...... something like a coke can for scale.











:D

[Road Warrior]

Awesome work REL!

Do you have any plans to create more 1/72 star wars EU stuff?

[PetarB]

That looks fantastic. The detail is very impressive, well done REL!

Wonderful job there!!!!!

[REL]

Thank you.

I cast some of the pieces today. One of the molds turned out bad, so I'm going to redo it tomorrow while I pour other stuff.

After hearing people would rather a clear canopy, I redid the master some so it would have that.

Here's some pics of it just glued together real quick with no putty etc.

Wow! Very Nice

Very tight detail! it compares well too it's big Brother

A TIE Ugly only a modeler could love... :)

This is one of the few EU designs I actually really like! It's a design that just 'makes sense' and looks like something that Sienar Fleet Systems would actually produce and something that easily could have been seen in the classic films.

Rich, really nice job as usual on your masters and casting! As always, my regards to your boss AND your hand model! EDIT: Ok... so your normal hand model wasn't used this time. Hope you didn't fire her! :D

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Just look at that detail!!! :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

VERY nice Richard! :cool::cool::cool:

[Slave1]

Sweet! I'm really glad that you decided to do a clear canopy :)

Hello! I just joined the site and wow! I am totally blown away by what I've seen here. My breath caught in my throat when I saw your outstanding Scimitar Assault bomber! I love all ships star wars, especially in 1/72. Is it too late to request one/place an order? And judging by your workmanship, anything you make that's star wars and 1/72, I'M IN!

[panther96]

just waiting on the word paypal standing by :)

[Redfinger]

very nice work....I like the size of the model, crisp details too

[REL]

[asmenoth]

[Star Wars Scratchbuilder]

Congratulations on a project well done! It really came out as a unique design that would fit in well with the Star Wars look.

[Paul]

Looks Awesome Richard, I want one when ready!

[REL]

I'm casting more right now, they'll be ready in two days.

Thanks

[Ryan]

So how do we get on the list for one of these?

[REL]

Just send me a PM.

Thanks

[dogma]

Just send me a PM.

Thanks

PM sent!

[REL]

Here's some instructions on the Scimitar. This is how the main pieces go together according to this pic here, the rest of the pieces can go pretty much in any direction as they're the same from one side to the next. I'm using a bad casting in the pics, this isn't typical of the castings.

Also, you'll have to trim the cockpit where it fits to the body because the fit is pretty tight.

Thanks.

[Ryan]

Are you still casting these?

[REL]

I just started, these will be available for quite awhile.

[Ryan]

Shall I send you a pm then? and one for the y-wing as well? I've lost track of any correspondence I may have sent. I hope my A-9 vigilance measures up when it's done!
