Terribly sad news that this young talented artists and big contributor to the starwars costuming community is gone . The few interactions I had with him on TDH were only ever pleasant and positive, he will be missed here and now doubt by his friends and family, R.I.P RKD
Great to see you got it back although it's been roughed up. As for the culprit? may the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house and find theirs.
Finished this up last night, iv'e rebuilt the cannons on this fella, the main cannons were too short and i purposefully shortened the left side upper cannon as seen on an ILM model that i think lives in the archives. It's just nine inches tall, not sure what scale that makes it. Reference shots...
If you are using Humbrol enamels i recommend this Humbrol AD6998 49 Enamel Varnish Matt - 150ml Spray Varnish, the Finnish is a very flat matt and durable.
