This modes represents a transport ship belonging in private hands for three generations, the PILGRIM. The owners never had any luck making big money with their assignments, and the ship, once carrying proudly the heraldic sign of his captain's family, is now only a shadow of itself. It has been in medical service for a while, but the traditional huge red cross showing that special purpose has been scratched away, leaving two dark brown stripes at the complete length and width of the main body.

A personal reason led the owner to join the rebellion against the Galactic Empire, and so profit is farther away than anytime before. Countless repairs has left their markings on the tortured hull; any material that was available has been used keep the brave PILGRIM together... more or less...

The model is taken from the Rebel Base diorama by AMT / ERTL. It has been built straight from the box, and the paintjob should represent a really, really, really „worn“ look. The areas painted in glossy black are showing actual leaks in hydraulic (or whatever) lines.

The builder, who is 11 now, has made some some Star Trek ships before (the TOS 3-ship-set), but this is his first fully painted model. He made this transport because he wanted to learn something about working with modeling paint and especially drybrushing before he paints the planets in his next project, a model of the solar system. What better subject to learn on than a Star Wars kit?.
