The thing about the purple Sharpie; you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean off Sharpie marks before you paint. Just make sure it won't also dissolve any glues or materials you are also using in your build. It will also take off acryllic paint but, I don't know about enamel, latex or lacquer.

There are two methods to make the cockpit look better, the first is of course to build it inside as well, which is very time-consuming, the second is to paint the transparent plastic from the inside, which gives it a great depth effect. Alternatively, transparent nail polish can also be used.

Really proud of seeing you learn as you go. Trial and error is definitely part of the journey. A piece of advice I'll impart is you can use a light cardstock like from cereal boxes as a means to make templates to see where things can go. 😊 Also EVA foam will be a powerful ally in your adventure. Also resin black nail polish will make for great glass in your windows.

Despite the bumps along the way, it turned out pretty damn good. I've been slowly making ships for Stargrave using junk and old squirt gun and Nerf gun parts. So yeah, I can relate to doing something and then realizing, yeah, that wasn't the best idea. But you take those experience points into the next build. I've learned a lot from building my own terrain and from watching other people on KZread do the same. I like how the ship turned out. Would be interesting to see another video where you take a second stab at it and see how well it turns out.

Heck yeeeeeeah! It's the Juggernaut, bitch! This build rocks so hard, dude! You really captured the YT as a ship, and I feel like this perfectly meets the spirit of the Star Wars specific junk ship. I also kind of like the really rough texture! It gives it "this ship has rusted and then been painted straight over without removing the rust" vibes, which feels appropriate. I also can't believe that the turrets were trashcobbled too! Because it swivelled, I just assumed it was a piece from some kind of kit! It's so cool that the swivel was done with magnets. I would love to see more Star Wars builds! I feel like there are so many locations and monsters and ships in Star Wars that could be fun minis.

Oh yeah, this just looks likes something you'd be able to buy like a YT-900 or something. Just a smaller model.
