[SW] UCS Twin Pod Cloud Car

[Risch33]

Hello,

I want to share with you my version of the UCS Twin Pod Cloud Car.
The model will be huge (17.5"W x 17.9"L x 8.1"H) and will have 2467 pieces.

Please let me know what you think...

All I can do is ...'gasp'

beautiful rendition of the ship!

[MrCRskater]

Really great rendering on one of my favorite ships. You did a great job working out the curves and the shape of the body. Is there any way you could make the canopies look a little more streamlined? The forward viewscreen is the perfect part for the job, but the braces on the side look a little too blocky, especially given how well you ironed out the rest of the ship. Also, the floating panels on the back could be bigger, and curved around the rear hull of the ship. A couple difficult things to execute, but given how well you worked out the rest of it, should be no problem for you.

Thank you for your remarks.
The cockpit is really a drag... I have made some modifications that I hope you like.

I also made a UCS style base... I am not excited about the shape of the base but I think it will be strong enough to carry the weight of the 2.5kg model...

So...

Here's an update of the final design:

This looks excellent. Excited to see pics of the actual model. What color did you order your parts in?

[Risch33]

Red for the main body and dark red for the area below the cockpit. Couldn't find many, if any, orange or dark orange parts, to make it closer to the actual model.
