The Madhatter Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hey guys Thought I would show you where I am up to on this before I go on a well deserved holiday for a few weeks. I've only really just started but it's not a race. I probably won't take any more pics now until the bridge is finished Hopefully the cutting board will help some of you convey a sense of scale as well The first set of pics are the walls for the bays underneath which are present on the filming models. I thought that was a cool feature so I did the same, except I opened up another one that wasn't there. All for my own personal tastes Well, that's me done, but if you have any questions or comments or critique, I am always open to it As always, thanks for looking in Si Gazzas, Shawn M, BloorwestSiR and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 That's looking great. The extra detail you're adding will really make it pop. Enjoy your vacation and looking forward to the next update. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squizzy 78 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 All it needs is a bit of paint and weathering, and the effect will be very convincing, great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 hi guys It's been a while since I last updated this thread, so time to do so. I have finished detailing the bridge and am about ready to start adding the fiber optic threads and then get it all sealed up. The main hangar bay has also been started. I have used a mix of Green Strawberry PE and Falcon resin parts as well as some strip styrene here and there, with more to go in due course. The front hangar bay is the GS PE set and looks good. It's all lit, painted and ready to install So, less talking and more pics I say Starting with the hangar bays: I will try to meld the TIE fighter bay to the Falcon hangar section but it may not work do well. If not, I will need to scratch build it. I had a heck of a time mounting the SMD's as the wires kept coming off. They are not the best quality SMD's I think Lastly, the bridge detailing is all but done. I won't be adding anything further to it. Once the paint goes on, it'll look much better and not so busy Well, that's all the pics I have for now. I am about to start on the neck area and garbage chute etc. I won't add too much detail here....well, maybe a little but not too much Feel free to comment, critique or suggest Thanks for stopping in and looking Till next time Si Uilleann, Christoffer Lindelav, DesTROYer and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesTROYer Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Amazing. The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 It's looking much more uniform now that the bridge has some paint on it. Started on the neck section The garbage chute is installed and has some red fibers on the inside Adding some details to the big antenna thing using some scrap PE bits Close up shows there's some clean up to do, but that won't be hard Anyway, thanks for looking Si LSP_Kevin, Shawn M, ShelbyGT500 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've only just found this thread and all i can say is that it is a stunning build. I love the 'extra' detailing you have added. Keep up the amazing work. I am totally absorbed with it The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
