The same as last year, May fourth snuck up before I knew it, and I had no plans for a Star Wars project. With even less time than in 2024, see the post under first pass, I decided to not even model a ship, but to model
not the ship...
...by making a mold I solved two problems, first being that less time would be required for a subject with softer details, and second, the presses from these molds would be so easily handleable, to the point of disposability, that I would not have to worry about their use by children. The great paradox of modeling is that the more time I have put into any subject, the more concerned about anyone else handling / breaking it. These test pieces loosely from episodes 4,5,6 in some ways held up better than I expected, and fell down in other ways, specifically issues with removal. Version two will have these individuals being placed onto disc pedestals so they should be much easier to take out of the molds.
Here is a pilot and wingman from beige squadron ambushing a wing of TIEs, more to come later...
