Zvezda Star Destroyer - a new detailing project

[Brett M]

You must have huge hands since there’s no way it’s that small 

 

great work!

Amazing detailing!

I broke down and bought the Bandai Star Destroyer with light kit which is leaps and bounds better than the old AMT kit, albeit a little smaller. After watching what you are doing with the Zvesda, I foresaw a ton of work to bring the AMT kit up to snuff. The Bandai kit I can live with OOB, and focus on the painting.

If I hadn't already have bought the Zvezda, I would have bought the Bandai kit. In a way I'm glad I didn't as I personally feel its too small, whereas the Zvezda is just right and is in roughly the same scale as some other capital ships like the Venator. 

Ive read about a few issues with the Bandai kit with light leaks and a bowed hull,  but none of them are insurmountable. 

Must be nice to be able to build something OOB. Might try it one day

Great.  Just great.  Are you cutting all of this free-hand or did you make yourself templates?

 

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark

Thanks Mark. Its all freehand whuch is probably why its takes so long to do done small section

Wow again your work is mind blowing. Cant wait to see it once cometed

[The Madhatter]

thanks Neo - I must admit, I am also looking forward to the end

So, I finally got round to finishing off the spot lights up front and thought I'd do a dry fit /light test, and thought I would share my happy results

Yes, I probably should have gone with cool white, but I prefer the look of the warmer white.

 

 

 

 

 

Well, that's it but feel free to share your thoughts - good or bad.

As always, thanks for looking

Hi everyone

Thought I would update this while I have some spare time.

Work continues on the sidewalls with only one wall left on the starboard side and only 2.5 left to do on the other

I am pretty happy with how its coming along.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I haven't quite finished the one above but I'm pretty much there

I'll post another update when I have finished the whole side

thanks as always for looking

Thanks Kev - much appreciated

[The Madhatter]

I had the top on briefly tonight whilst I was marking out where the next load of floodlights were going to go and I added the roof etc just to see how its looking. I am really happy with how it's looking! (just do what I do and look past the current gaps )

 

 

 

 

I thought it's looking pretty frickin' cool myself. I just took those 3 pics then as I thought it looked good enough to share. Never mind the extraordinary orange wall behind. I try to forget it myself

thanks again

Si
