So after nearly 5 months, "The Nimbus II" is officially complete! It has taken a lot of time and pure frustration to get to this point, but I have to say that I am quite happy with the results! Although it does have it's flaws, they are relatively minor compared to the issues I was having before hand! So, I know this is nothing new, and it really doesn't have a lot to offer other than I feel its nice on the eyes, but the fun is in the creation of the work and knowing that you've learned that much more since before you started! Enjoy a video and a few pictures!

A small piece of paint chipped off the R2 button, but that's fixable.

All in all, other than a few cosmetic issues, I'm quite happy with how this turned out! Even though it took 5 months to complete, it was more for real life getting in the way than revisions and failures! Let me know what you think!

Just noticed this. Surprised no one has posted after you finished it.

Amazing job, man! That looks so cool. You must be really talented to make that. It looks professionally done.

Thanks guys! Yeah it didn't get very much attention really. I suppose the market is pretty burnt out with them, but not a big deal. I got it done, happy with it and starting the planning phase on something new!.
