Well I guess its up to me to get this party started.
Here is the inspiration:

And the main parts:

This picture was taken all the way back in 2016, I think I intended to enter it into the last sci-fi GB or scalorama GB. Anyway I'm now starting and luckily all the parts have been kept together(although I have since lost the pilot figure).
These are miscellaneous parts from gundam models and the gun is something I built for a project that didn't pan out.
Now to scrounge my bits box for further details.
And while I did think that it also looks like a Hiigaran Battlecruiser, I dont have the parts to make it look good so I settled on inteceptor.

Quite promising! The paint should be very interesting.
-
Ve-ery interesting! 8)

Asymmetrical cockpit and the cannon in the center :-*

Engine cut and test-fit:

Awesome!
-
This is looking most intriguing! ;)
-
Looking good, kinda reminds me of the PS1 game Wipeout
-
This is very nice.

Just a little detailing and cockpit mounted:

To-do: engine, underside and panel lines.
-
Still liking it
-
:smiley:
-
Good looking brute - like the way the gun blends in, it's huge, but not obtrusive.
-
Mostly done, underside finished. Just need to clean it up a bit, scribe some panel lines on top and paint it.

Actually the red and white looks pretty good to me!

Good luck on the scribing!! we are all rooting for you!! 8)

Painting was interesting. Thought my airbrush was clogged, didn't want to unclog it so I opted for hand painting. Bottom went alright, but then after a botched paint on the top part I decided I had to use the airbrush, pulled it out and it turns out it wasn't clogged at all. So that leaves an ok paint job on the bottom and a nicely airbrushed top.

Anyway all that's left is minor touch ups and the cockpit and maybe a darker metallic colour on the gun.
-
Nice scheme.. you nailed the sort of look I was aiming for but failed with
Love it
-
That looks fantastic! Great scheme too :smiley:
-
Is it Star Trek or Star Wars that meets A-10 ? :smiley:
Color scheme is great. Congrats on beating blue paint demons.
-
fits like a glove :-*
-
:smiley:
-
That is mighty fine. Well done!
-
Does look good. I agree that a dark wash on the gun is a good idea, but otherwise, excellent work!
-
Annnnnd done!
Not perfect but quite happy with it. Nice to get this monkey off my bench after four years.

Me too. Besides never would thought of such a build, colored lenses are another level of never would thought of it. Fine build top & bottom, is cool 8)

Very impressive build and a most aggressive-looking vehicle.
