Still trying to finish the nose. I started with the cables below. Found some old headphone parts I could use:

Next up is that missing cockpit. Finally I started a rough build....so the shape of it is now planed and by now almost done. It's built for vintage and for modern figures. I think Klaatu and Weequay had a lot of fun?? Well the aim as always was to minimize the weight. So it's a very light built.

Next up will be filler and sanding. Afterwards the greeblies and such....plus lightening...

Thanks for looking.

A thing of beauty! KUTGW

I can only imagine the complexities of the lighting and hiding the cables, but i'm sure the results will be spectacular!

This is really getting along fast.
First up I decided to cut off the front part of the cockpit. Otherwise I would be in real trouble painting it. So it's now detachable with 4 screws holding it in place:

Finished the cockpit by now. The seat is an homage to the vintage AT-ST. The lever to the middle broke twice by now so it was replace by a metal lever. Some additional cables and the foot area was also completed:

After that I wanted to do the front part. Some screens were added. Some acrylic with scratched in forms does the job very well:

Now on with detailing this part of the cockpit:

Some ligthening check:

And finally the back part was primed...mmmmmmmmmmmhhh....I love priming

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

The cockpit is now finished....well nearly. It is missing one more LED with glas fiber illumination for the arm panels. No material yet, so I will do this later.

I also primed the nose. Sadly my last rattler got empty while doing this, but it's nearly done.

Cockpit and nose mounted together:

I will now go on with the middle part

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

What do you use to apply the paint mate, spray can or airbrush?

Starting with the middle part.
First up are some greeblies to finish the look from the side:

Next up was the break through for those hatches. These will be closed with some grills. Figures cant go through those hatches, so I am useing them to give some rooflight to the bar below.

Below I needed to do the walls and ceiling for the bar part which was actually added at a later point to lengthen the ship. I also noticed some inaccuracy to the door from inside that needed to be fixed...a lot of extra work sadly:
