I thought this would make a good freight container for X Wing. Now I'm not quite sure, I suppose it could be something else. Suggestions, please?
it is, of course, made from….. link |

That is quite brilliant sir! It could easily bet a 10mm sci/fi "mag-lev" train carriage or tram too. Great spot and conversion. Cheers Roger. |

If you have three, you could do something similar to this:

I did worry about the blades when I started and thought about coating them with super glue before painting. I decided against it and went for a heavy dark red undercoat with enamel paint. On top of that there are another three layers of enamel, a heavy coat of black, then a grey and light grey highlight especially at the edges. The effect has been to completely dull any sharpness. The feel has completely changed, though I might add a of layer of gloss then matt varnish at some point. |
