Made a little progress today with this build. Again, what it all will do, how it will move, is a surprise to me. I never go ahead in manuals just for that extra element of surprise.
After this I made some gun turrets, which I initially thought were movable by hand, but no! These are connected to the small engine as well via two pieces of wood connecting to a longer piece, much to my surprise!
Still no TIE Fighter in sight, but I think we’re getting there pretty soon. Nice build so far! Love how everything connects to each other!
I thought at first you were saying you don’t use manuals, I thought how on earth did you do that without a manual . On the second read I read it correctly ha ha
Looking great so far @Niels_Tempel
It’s an awesome build. Great progress so far. Is it for real that you’re not looking on the instruction manual and just guessing where to put the parts?
Off course I do look into the instructions, but I never look ahead in those. I just go page by page. So I don’t really know what I am putting together next, so to speak
I do the same. On occasion, if I am waiting for paint to dry, I may move to next step. Otherwise I work page by page. I know some look all the way through so they can see what they are getting in to. @Nita_Davis does this I think because she plans and customizes!
Oh okay. I thought you literally don’t look on the manuals while building. As for me, I just scan the pages ahead but still looking on the manuals and following the instructions per page too.
I am so bad at painting stuff. In my youth I made plastic airplane models of the brand Revell, but never really painted them. With a few exceptions though. I like the simplicity (when it comes to builds like these) to not deal with the hassle of that.
Having said that, I obviously admire the effort you (all) put into painting builds
