Studio Scale B-Wing Starfighter Build Thread

Great to see those engines in place Are you going to vacu-form the wings as well?

The main wing will be vac-formed, but the two side wings are kit parts, so using those parts there. What I’ve got left to vac-form is:

• Upper neck, port and starboard
• Upper neck “collar”, port and starboard
• Main wing “collar”, port and starboard
• Main wing, port and starboard
• Main wing gun shroud, top and bottom
• Wing gun shrouds, port and starboard

Overall that’s 8 bucks I need to still make for 12 shells. I have scale patterns for 5 of them so far, which handles 8 of the shells, and will start making them this weekend. I have travel to Chicago most of next week, so trying to get ahead of that as much as I can. I’m bringing some tools with me so I can work on the remaining patterns after work in the hotel.

Wow...quite the vacu-form list I can already see the maid, cleaning your hotel room after your stay: " Wood shavings on the floor?"
