Star Wars Cygnus Spaceworks Elite Division - Jedis, Mandalorians and building a 1:50 scale shuttle from scratch

[dutik]

"How is it the Empire lets us keep stealing these things?"

"Oh. I thought it was the same one we used before."

     - Kanan Jarrus and Rex upon seeing Sabine Wren arrive with another stolen imperial shuttle.

 

Welcome, friends!

 

This one is not about my work, but a fellow modeller who is building a Lambda class shuttle in 1:50 scale from scratch. If you are not familiar with star Wars ship designs - this is the one Darth Vader arrived in. As well as other high ranking personnel from the Star Wars saga.

 

 

No, this is not a Star Wars artwork. Yep. It is a scratch build model. With movable wings, landing gear and other stuff. Bonus: It comes with a full lenght upper fin. The one from the movie only had the lower third of the upper fin, because the higher parts were not visible, so the film crew saved this effort.

 

The whole build is here.

Construction is still under way. More detail work and of course a paintjob will follow.

 

Enjoy!

Just to add a bit more to the topic:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to get missed:

 

Handmade...

 

 

and painted:

 

 

All miniatures are 32mm scale, i.e. close to 1/50.

 

 

You find the whole thread here. German language, but the photos speak for themselves. No registration required to see all this beautiful stuff.

 

Enjoy!
