More pix when it’s added!

Nice looking build. Really brings me back to the days of watching the show. I love the picture you got of the the hanger witht e Viper in Kligon Cloak mode[;)]

I’ve seen this build someplace else, but this is rocking! I love the vipers - I see that you’re making a fleet. I’d just buy one off feebay, and recast it. It’s cheaper that way, and you don’t have to worry about size differences, or details between other manufactureres IE: Revell, Monogram. The sex change is amazing! You’d never know it if you just looked at it as a casual observer - I can’t stop laughing, and noticing how much a little cutting can make a huge difference. Your eye for detail is great! I take it that the wood base is balsa for ease of cut, and build. The landing gear is too cool! Are those also scratch made, or kit parts.

Thanks! The gear is scratch- I won’t buy what I can fabricate!
I’m actually fine tuning the display & the Viper I made for it right now! Little details can mean a lot…
this are the best way!
I felt I had to rework the Viper in my display/diorama since I developed so many good techniques on my newer ones… then I figured I’d tweak the display itself just a tad. So first, I made a tiny viper to put in the background:
Then I worked the big Viper (new pipes, exhausts, dirt, removing intake ridges…), & added some depth to the left wall:
Crappy camera here, I apologize for the lack-O-resolution!
But what do y’all think?
I have one of these, uh where did you get the landing gear???
the little viper are smaller than my 1/144 gundam hovertruck!

I made it from scratch. Not easy. But worth the time IMO.
Lucky for me, I can work small![;)]
