Default Republic Gunship

Took some time off over Easter so thought I would storm through the one model I have always wanted to build but didn't have the time to do it justice - the Star Wars Republic Gunship. I have used lots of research to try to get this right but I realised that these machines are war machines. So, in the same way that tanks and planes were customised by their crews in WW2 I thought I could customise some of the features in my Gunship.

Some more work finished. Cockpit canopy is now finished. Wings are complete - though I still have the wing gun pods to built and incorporate. Forward gun nacelles were very difficult to get right, and I'm not certain that they are, but they seem to work. Bay doors are finished also. Still to finish detail at the back as well.

Almost there. Some more details to be added, then I'll start to texture. I've made a clone trooper which will add some scale and context.

Finally got round to adding some texture and a more detailed figure. More still to do but its beginning to take shape.
