Star Wars Razor Crest "The Mandalorian"
1January 7, 2022Is that pre-installed battle damage?
2January 7, 2022
3January 7, 2022
4January 7, 2022Very rough surface.
5January 7, 2022
6January 7, 2022
7January 7, 2022The lettering is on the outside of the tailgate, visible in flight mode. Thank god I decided to show the landing mode before noticing that crazy fact. But I now already sanded it away.
8January 7, 2022Started to get rid of the problem areas.
9January 7, 2022Some more greeblies for the interior. With open doors there are good visible areas.
10January 7, 2022I tried to make a carbon freezed Trooper for the collection of Mando. This was before I ownded a Resin 3D-Printer.
11January 8, 2022So the first colors for the interior are supplied.
12January 8, 2022Carbon freezing in progress.
13January 9, 2022Some hours worked on painting interior details. I will not use all of the decals for the cockpit. Painting the buttons and lights is so much more fun. 😉
14January 11, 2022Cockpit is painted.
15January 11, 2022A friend of mine has a new 3D printer and tried to print a Grogu figure for me. The smaller one fits better to the scale of 1/72 but the details are poor and it is hard to paint. So I am not sure which one I will use for the RC. Think I will paint both and see how it comes out.
16January 11, 2022Finally painted both figures. The big one looks better to me, of course. But with a height of 15mm it will never fit to 1/72 scale. So I think I will use it later for any other project. The smaller Grogu must take place somewhere in the Razor Crest.
17January 14, 2022Some last pics with lights from above. You will hardly see all the details later.

25January 17, 2022
26January 17, 2022
27January 17, 2022Main parts glued together.
28January 18, 2022Glued some parts and tried to paint the engine fire with orange. Since I don't use electronics (electricity and I are kind of at war), paint will have to suffice.
29January 19, 2022Weapons and landing gear was a lot of work on seamlines.
30January 19, 2022Some putty and sanding needed to get the big parts together.
31January 19, 2022Ready for priming.
32January 20, 2022Gloss black is sprayed.
33January 21, 2022First layer of Aluminium color applied. I used Vallejo Model Air Aluminium. Looks a bit bright but it will darken a lot with all the color variations and weathering.
34January 22, 2022Some panels painted in different metal color variations.
35January 22, 2022
36January 22, 2022

Welcome to this cool Star Wars build. First I just want to show a few close ups of problem areas because there are several discussions on the web.
Don't get me wrong, I think the kit is great and I'm excited to have started now. As a reasonably accomplished modeler, it's nothing you can't handle. Nevertheless, of course, annoying for such a new tool.
So folks, it's not a Bandai, but it's not a 70's kit either. So feel free to try it. The details are impressive.
