I have just received my Bellfine 1/32 Blade Runner 2049 Spinner. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of things happening lately, so I hope to be able to examine it at the earliest opportunity. The only thing I can do right now is to just surf the ‘Net and create my own lighting theories and notes from there. All these images were taken from HobbySearch.
The pat A3 (top left) has two holes for the red light or something but it is very hard to see if they were lit at all in the Movie despite the promotional posters showing otherwise it. I wished the parts A8 & A9 were molded in clear plastic to create the lighted red lines. Again, just like the A3, it was not shown except in the promotional posters. As for the triangular dimples (circled yellow) on the doors A6 & A7, I’ll have to cut it out for the lighting. There are 6 small light housings for the red lights at the upper body of the Spinner (lower right). Also, notice each sprue is identified by an alphabet at the top left corner. You can remove them and do whatever you want with it.
I’ll have to carve out the monitors for the part B17 and then light it from behind. See the long-ish rectangle at the upper edge for parts B9 & B10, yeah, you’ll need to cut that out too for the orange lights.
Surprisingly, the tyres at the front mandible are just halves (C2, left) while the one for the rear (C7, right) comes in three pieces.
The fold-out monitor E1 will have to be scratch-built if I want to light it. And the seats looks quite nice; the upper backrest and the lower seat just snap together.
This is the most disappointing sprue of all. Most of the parts here needs to be molded in clear! Without even needing to open the box, seeing this image has already so disheartening.
Decals
The decals, I think, are OK, its just that I would have to stick #2, #3, #4 & #5 onto some 0.3mm pla-plate and backlit from there. If I can get a high resolution laser printer, I would very much like to reproduce them or even, redesign the decals too.
Did you notice any problem with this decal sheet? The Peugeot Logo for the Spinner’s Front is not there.
