yes, it's getting there, the two "ears" and then I'm curious to see if the "wiring" will work.

Base and cannon finished - first customization.

The laser cannon is finally ready. I had to glue in a piece of a paper clip that I had cut to size, but the pipes had to be restarted three times. Apart from that, I had to do a few more little tricks, but on the whole I'm satisfied. I finished the base and then glued the whole thing under the head.

The first rough cuts for the laser cannon. I leave the very small parts together, otherwise they disappear...:OOPS:

The back of the head is already finished... Next comes the most difficult part, I think, and that is the triplet laser cannon with lots of small parts.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant, I just couldn't think of the word. I tried it once on a trial basis, it's a bit of an effort, but it looks quite good on larger models. I once saw instructions from a Japanese on a model, but can't remember where.

it would be interesting to give the model a slightly "3D" look - concave or convex. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I'm also interested in the Battlestar models, I think I should have all the bows. There are so many different interesting objects that you have to choose what to build.

Yet another top model. I'm sure you're now looking forward to the next one - that's how I feel.

Cockpit is finished. Continue with the "back of the head".

Thank you for the commendations. It wasn't so easy because the parts are getting smaller. You also have to improvise a little. Next up is the interior of the cockpit.

The entrance hatch is finally finished.

Unfortunately, my son has no hands and no patience for such handicrafts, which is a shame. He has nothing from me in this matter...

I'm glad you like it.

everything I make from Star Wars - paper or plastic - is also for my son - I just paint it myself. ;)

...and we continue with the top and the movable access hatch...

always these small jobs - top ;)

The "ears" are finished and the next parts are already waiting. Parts 121, 122, 128, 129 (see red arrows) must be reinforced, i.e. doubled, otherwise they will be too weak and break and the slits cut out generously. The gluing is a bit fiddly, only glue small areas at a time, allow to dry and...

i was going to, but the original film ATST has no glass either, only movable armor plates to cover it.

Basic framework of the head
