Sails away!

November 11, 2009 | Reading time: 1 minutes

First prototype sail installed. I already see how I can improve it, but since I have over 14 Raider class vehicles to create, I think this one will be just fine as-is in the flock.

Just a simple plasticard sail that was boiled and gently bent….a hasty cut and I guessed the lengths, the next 8 will be at least held up to the model that it’ll be installed on.
