Prop Star Wars Model Kits

[MandoMan531]

That Imperial-Class Destroyer is mine, 100% without a doubt buying that one!! Not totally delighted Bandai is taking over but the kits look good!

At 1/1700 scale that Star Destroyer has to be huge. The AMT one is 1/4222, and it's at least a foot long.

Also, here's a few more sneak peeks! I just finished up the cockpit. It's hard to get all the points of light into an in-focus picture, but I did my best! Haven't counted what's in the cockpit yet but it's a lot of fibers! There are a few unlit in the pic too. There's 3 lights that shine down on Boba and 3 lights that illuminate the passenger seats.

Is this the one that was going for over 200?

Never mind I found it. The $200 plus is 1/72 scale.

Nice job!!! Keep it up!!

 

[user 6734]

yep go for the 1/72 ... but you picked a pretty tough one to start with to be honest !! I saw it and I passed up on it after I saw all those 7038490289 parts .. just don't have the time for a huge project like the falcon..

Thanks a lot and let us know how it goes

Unless I missed it, was there any more info on the SD? When it would be released, how much, etc.?

 

[Joe Prince]

no info yet. there was a sign that said to be released but nothing concrete as far as a time.

 

[MandoMan531]

I'm pretty sure most of the Bandai stuff said "Autumn RollOut" so maybe by the end of the year for us?

 

[MandoMan531]

MOAR SNEAK PEEKS!!
Done the majority or the painting, still some small bits to do and the dark green front panel and "bells" on either side of the cockpit.

I didn't strictly follow the paint guide, rather took bits and pieces from different guides and put my own small twist. I knew if never accurately replicate the chipping pattern so I wasn't worried with the colors being 100% accurate. I'm happy with how it's going so far.

 

[Joe Prince]

Looks GOOD!!!!!!

 

[user 6734]

hey Paint up came out great !!

 

[MandoMan531]

Thanks guys! I was so nervous about painting it. It didn't go exactly as planned but the end result looks good to me. I'm a bit on hold now waiting for oils and pigments to do the weathering, then I can finalize the lighting and the hole for the rod that will hold her up!

Here's where I am currently, added the pink spots to the skirt, and added the white-ish markings, dark green panels, and drilled out the cannon barrels.

 

[Joe Prince]

great job man!!!!!!!!!

 

[user 6734]

looking great to me !!! keep it coming !

 

[MandoMan531]

Thanks guys!
Eager to finish this guy up so I can start on the Falcon.

 

[user 6734]

man the falcon gonna be something .. wanna see WIP of that one

 

[MandoMan531]

I could do that. I have the kit started but nothing beyond gluing on bits and a little primer.

 

[user 6734]

would be great to see !
