Another Star Destroyer?!?
Some re-building, finishing of the basic structures - now on to working on details...
Work is progressing on this model, too. Since I felt that the upper half of the hull did not match the source material from REBELS well enough – which was particularly due to the fact that I decided to use a modified part of a Zvezda Star Destroyer kit – I decided to build a new one, and this time completely from scratch using plastic card, including the bridge section.
I learned a lot from building the lower half of the hull, which I needed to build from scratch, and I utilized the lessons learned to build a version of the upper hull which is accurate and has a clean, well-structured build. I’m happy I did this, and I’m very happy with the result.
At the moment, all basic and major shapes which comprise the ship are finished, engines are added, and a lot of detail work has been done – although quite a bit of deteil work still has to be done. But I’m getting there. Here are some images of the progress of both halves of the ship:
How did you do the generator domes? Do you vacuform them yourself? Twitch needs to know!
The gravity well generator domes are…
doorstoppers. 😀 No, really – the small ones 4cm diameter and the large ones 6cm diameter. I don’t have the tools or access to tools required for vacuforming, and building them is tedious and doesn’t yield acceptable results. So, I started looking for flat, dome-shaped items, until I stumbled upon doorstoppers, and these proved to be just perfect!
Doorstoppers…. I think that was the last think I would have thought of
Oh – one more thing: Where on Twitch was it needed to be known?
Well, over at my channel 😉 https://www.twitch.tv/sundancerge/
