Feel free to post your build plans, strategy, the kit(s) you will be using and any other cool or pertinent stuff you feel like sharing before getting started.

I'm starting with the Revell First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter. Not much of a plan other than squeeze parts together and pray to Saint Amigdala that my Mitocondria are up to the task:

 ;D ;D ;D May the Mitochondria be with you!

Frank3k:
Done. This was not a fun build.

The Farce was definitely with Revell - they should borrow a kit or two from Bandai to see how to make properly fitting snap-tite kits. Many parts had poor fit (I had to glue a couple) and almost all have visible seams. The details and painting isn't great either. Oh well, it takes less space built up and I think the wings will make a good model base - a space port launch site or something. I would have been pissed if I'd paid the original $35 for this! No wonder it was on deep discount.



Here's Kylo Renfaire inspecting this POS:



I feel like building a Miniart 1/35 T-55 with full interior just to cleanse my palate.

Someone on Armorama did a great job - they set it in a WWII jungle scene.

Brian da Basher:
That's great Frank and a fine way to kick things off!

I especially like the figure you added in the last shot.

I saw a similar Tie Fighter in the Jungle diorama. This one was done like one of those crashed W.W. II relics, covered with foliage.

Your "showroom new" version is very well done!
