spacewolf Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 It was time to look at the city 'plate'... a sheet of 1/16th .... Some scrap sheet layered and the edges chewed up with a dremel, then blended with liquid glue and touched up with thick CA BiggTim, LSP_Kevin, Coneheadff and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 The first building had to be the spire of the Jedi Temple.. I looked at ref and guestimated the height then cut out and layered 1/16th till the thickness and angles looked right... So thats it for this week.. I hope you are enjoying the madness.. I certainly am !! BiggTim, cib2265, LSP_Ray and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Amazing! The problem with work like this is you make it look so utterly easy. spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 That is really looking good! I like how you built up the Jedi Temple especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Nice work! In this larger scale, will you replicate the rock formations that occupy most of the height of the vertical surfaces almost all around. Alain spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it IS easy... but then, I suck at finish work ! When I try sculpting a 5 year old does better work. For whatever reason this is my gift and I just hope it inspires someone else to try.

spacewolf Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 It's that time again ! ... .... With the walls coming along I had chatted with Jimi about a possible mounting point for the upcoming SD but he said not to worry about it, that modelers could figure it out for themselves. We talked about building a bit of the mountain top but I was trying to keep it simple, cut down on resin costs and complexity for him and suggested that modelers could add their own ground work... meanwhile at the model bench... I had drilled and installed a bit of sprue in the base of the spire... a hole was drilled into the temple mount... Positioning the spire.. looks about right...

spacewolf Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 I started cutting up bits of scrap plastic I had laying around and adding buildings made from squares and various shapes... I was puzzling it out as I went along, no city planning involved. To rest my eyes (and nerves) I read a lot of the thinking and 'history' of the Jedi, Jedha city and the 'religion' of the Force... there were many different offshoots as with any 'faith' and I wanted to give the city a variety of flavors.. but the center piece was Jedha and the temple/ temple mount.. so it had to be held special.. so a wide ramp was built and various temples and spires added.. At the other end of the city more buildings and temples were rising.. some had up to 8 parts..... I averaged about a square inch a day before my eyes and nerves gave out... streets, temples, buildings... from the SD's viewpoint it looks orderly... But from an oblique angle......

spacewolf Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 More added each day... trying to build different style temples to go with the wide variety of 'faiths' that permeated the ' Holy City'.... I felt that there should be a street or two that merged into a broad avenue for parades and religious processions ....so the buildings had to form that... Wrapping around the temple mount... And finally a beauty shot looking across the city... I was getting bogged down so when Jimi suggested again we add some of the mountain top I was ready for a change.. so off to the model shop I went for milliput..... Tune in next week to see what silliness I'm hoping to get into !!

Alain Gadbois Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Excellent city planning and building. I can imagine the time it takes to add all these tiny bits! Looking forward to that mountain! Alain spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
