THE CLUBHOUSE

For those who haven't taken their deep dive into Star Wars, Bossk was the "LizardMan" alongside the other bounty hunters in The Empire Strikes Back.

From JPG's Facebook pages :

"The Hounds Tooth, or YV-666, is the Bounty Hunter Bossk’s ship. As seen in various video games and comic books, the most popular being Shadows of the Empire.

Scale is 1:144 to compliment the other .JPG Productions ships, The Outrider, and the Moldy Crow. This line of “Underworld ships” will continue with other future additions.

Consisting of 9 resin cast and 3D printed parts, plus stainless steel mounting rods for the wings, the FX-7 measures ~12” (30.5cm) high and ~ 9.5" (24cm) wide wingspan, ~2” (5cm) wide main body."

Almost too easy to put together.



My first oops was trying to get this pour plug off. I leaned on the saw too hard and snapped the whole end of the ship off.
Thankfully it went back together easily and after a little patching on the other side, no one will notice...




Had to put a little color on, and take a look.




The provided metal rods puts the 2 halves of the ship together.



More next time. Thanks for looking.

The next session I started painting all the little details. I also filled some bubbles that I saw in the previous image.


All the ship now has a primer coat.


To add details on the ship, I finally got to use Aztek Dummy's masks that just simulate different panels - -




Then to go overboard, I added more panels in different colors. Don't worry, a mist coat will smooth everything out.


Getting close to finishing. Thanks for looking.

That is looking pretty good.
Looks like a well engineered kit too.
Seems like you are having fun with it, which is the most important part.

Thanks! Yes, it’s a pleasure when a kit almost falls together out of the box.

Coming along nicely Kev - that patterning looks impressive!

Thanks. The pattern is all thanks to Lou Dalmasso of Aztek Dummy. He has a really cool YouTube channel too. Search under Lou Dalmasso.

This entry is something like 2 or 3 sessions. First thing was to sit the design down a little with a mist coat.



Next was the gloss and the decals. Thankfully they were very thin, but pretty strong else I would have lost the teeth decal on top.



Then there was a ton of weathering. There was a lot of open panels, and I saw it as not really taken cared of - but not really busted up either. Finally the flat coat all over, and black glossing the windows finished it off. Thanks for looking.









Upside down

Thanks.
I haven't really followed any stories on it. But I'm going to guess they wanted a sort of "flying Sandcrawler." But I could be completely wrong.

THAT's it !!!!!!! - I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of

Thanks bud!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

Looks pretty cool though, and the paint looks great!

Thank you!

Now that's cool! Love what you did with it.

Beautiful build and paint of this very unusual ship, Kev.

Thanks guys!

Awesome work, Kev!!!! What a misshaped space "container ship"! Mucho character - and giving the modeler a LOT of leeway to get creative - as you indeed did!!!

Thanks! I find that the boxier and ugly the ships are, the more I like them...
