Steve Eggers – 3D Printed 1/29 Y-Wing “Red 4” Build

November 7, 2021 Posted in Star Wars Selections, Steve Eggers

Here is my 3D Printed Y-Wing “Red 4” from Sci-Fi Studio Scale Modellers.

I recently purchased and downloaded a 3D model from Sci-Fi Scale Modellers.

What you see is printed on both a Form3 and EPAX X1 SLA 3D printer.

Overall, the detail is very well represented. There are options to print the model as a blank canvas and print/attach all the greeblies similar to ILM or print each part as complete assemblies. I opted to print each part complete.Wing 3D SLA Printed Model Kit.

This is version 2 of the 3D model. A version 3 is available with changes in some detail parts and parts break down.

Steve Egger’s -3D Parts Enhanced- REVELL 1/29 X-Wing

November 10, 2019 Posted in Revell/Monogram, Star Wars Selections, Steve Eggers

This is the Revell 1/29 kit. Overall it’s not a bad kit, but it’s not that great either. It needs some help to be a respectable representation of an ILM miniature. I could have really gone to town on this model, but if I did all of the aftermarket stuff available and at the rate I build, it would be another year before I finished it.

Here’s what I did :

  • Falcon 3D Parts Plant on cannon mounts
  • Falcon 3D Parts cannons
  • Falcon 3D Parts canopy
  • Falcon 3D Parts Pilot figure
  • Scratch built additional details in the engine bays
  • Added hoses to the cockpit
  • Added canopy actuators to the cockpit
  • Removed the molded on engines and reworked them to better represent the ILM model
  • Added additional detail to the aft section

Overall, I think it turned out good. I’m my worst critic...
