This first pic is a gauge inside the cockpit that is not in the kit so I thought I would make my own. It is a still from the movie.

So these are the steps of scratchbuilding these pieces

Pretty rough looking

Sanded

Painted

These little tanks were solid so I thought I would drill out between them

Tiny
Then I did the cockpit sides and armrest/control panels

And finally the cockpit is finished

In this one you can see the gauges I made

Great little add-ons with the display panels. And cockpit looks excellent as well. What scale is this? It's looks "biggish" 1/32?

Wait. This isn't officially declared as part of the group build???!!! It should be.

Have a look over here:
modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/board/175/msc-star-wars-group-build

We've got about 8 or 9 guys all doing Star Wars stuff just now

If praise and ridicule did not exist, who would you be?

Another still from the movie. This one shows the power cables coming out of the main laser canons. I drilled 3 holes (but they were so close together they became 1) into the rear of the main cannons and 3 holes just under the cockpit.

And glued 3 wires into each end of the laser cannons.

Top work and great superdetailing! It shows that improving kits can be made up to something very interesting and adding spots of interest to the kit. Combined with a fab paint job, hell, what do you want more?!
