Zvezda Star Destroyer - a new detailing project

[PR19_Kit]

Helps?

I'm AWESTRUCK at the minute-ness of all those details. I reckon you must be 1/1000 scale yourself!

Either that or a neuro surgeon who works on things like this to relax 

Every time I look at it I'm just more and more amazed

I remember reading ages ago, in I think FSM, about a dentist who built a 1/48 scale Cleveland-class (IIRC, it has been 30 or so years) cruiser...and set it up for RC.  Just to run in the pond on his property.

LOL - I wish I had the money of a Neuro surgeon! Nor am I a dentist
Truth be told, I am a Fraud Investigator for a bank, so in a way, details count

You could sit inside one that size and drive it.
Which Iain M Banks book features miniature one man battleships which fight each other on a network of ponds?  It's one of the later ones like The Algebracist.

From one evil empire to another...

So, here I am with another update.
The roof is finished - or finished enough for now. It's looking pretty good to me. It's hard trying to keep it all in scale but I think I am doing alright.
A test fit of the bridge and neck was okay but I had to remove some stuff off the back left sidewall to allow the neck to slide all the way in. The fit is not the best - I'll be honest, I'm not sure if it's all me, or part me and part kit or just the kit itself. Either way, I'll have to think carefully about how the final construction is going to go.



























Well, that's me done for another couple of weeks I think. I'll be making a start on the lower level sidewalls tonight hopefully, then the main body which will be very time consuming I think.
Till then
Adios amigos

Damn!

[NARSES2]

I have to wipe the sweat from my brow just looking at this work 

[sykotik]

LOL - I sweat too when I look at it although I dare say for a different reason
Made a start on the lower sidewalls last night - got as far as making 3 shelves before I called it a night. I really need to pick up the pace a bit

[Old Wombat]

Just don't burn yourself out, mate! If you need to take a break for a few weeks or months, we'll still be here, hangin' out!

[sykotik]

I've already had a couple month break from it and I want to be able to put this in next years Expo, so I had best get a shuffle on.
I've just made 2 little hangar bays for the side walls. I'm not sure they actually exist on the actual filming models but I don't care. I like them and the parts look like they should be hangars. VIP hangars in my case. Be interesting to see if anyone actually notices them once it's on display. 

[PR19_Kit]

That'll depend of on they can actually SEE them! 

Perhaps you should have an electron microscope as an integral part of the display, so people can appreciate the mega-small details?

Shouldn't that be "shuttle" ?

I'll get my coat

bah dom *tish* 

LOL, you can see them - the inserts are nearly 1 centimeter square and although the opening is only 7mm wide by 4mm high - it's still enough to see into.
