Zvezda Star Destroyer - a new detailing project

[Flyer]

Besides, what's with that big detachable lump on top of it?

That's going to throw out its thrust axis of symmetry something awful!

Makes it look like some sort of futuristic airbrush...

[Madhatter]

LMAO!! I will resist don't worry. 
I personally really love this ship. You do have to ask what drugs the guy who looked at his airbrush and said to himself "that looks like a cool starship" was on though. I want some....

It didn't click but that's exactly what it is!

It's even got the button to press on the top.

It's even got the button to press on the top. 

Along with the connection to the compressor and spray adjustment.

I'm thinking the really heavy ones that certain three letter agencies were testing out in the 60s

Definitely not the Death Star anymore is it. It's more like a mechanical-industrial planet. 

Yup, or maybe a mining spacecraft. One that travels the galaxy, lands on a planet, mines/sucks it dry and then moves on ? Where's Will Smith when you need him 

Trying to win back fans I dare say 

Yup

hey again

Got one building done and primed and have started on the second one. I'm hoping to have the first one painted by the weekend. I have already drilled out the holes where the fibers will be going. I lost count after 50 and 8 drill bits later

The good news is it won't require a lot big lengths of fiber. I am contemplating sticking in just little bits of fiber and flood lighting the entire inside but I am not sure I can get much light through the top sections. They'd require longer lengths I think. Also, there would not be enough room to angle an LED bright enough to fill the space... unless I used SMD strip?

Enough pondering, here are the pics. I used my phone and not my proper camera coz I can't be faffed getting it all set up











In black primer with a very light white primer highlight coat brings it all together nicely







And together with the new building. I drilled out some vents on the side of the tower and I'll stick in some strips of clear sanded styrene to cover the openings from the inside. With a red LED shining up from the bottom it'll look pretty cool with the sanded styrene diffusing the light nicely. At least - that's the plan







and lastly, the new position of both on the surface:



Well, I think I have bored you all enough, but as always, please feel free to critique or suggest anything that could be improved. Like, share, subscribe... LOL

I watch way too much Youtube!

Thanks for looking

You can say that again

So the squares on the cutting mat are 1 cm square, are they?

That just makes it even more AWESOME!

¹/₂ inch, I reckon, Kit, but close enough for Government work.

Si, asking me about model lighting is like asking a monkey about particle physics.

Never bored with your posts, mate!

I watch way too much Youtube!

You ain't Robinson Crusoe there, old son!

Thanks for looking

Always a pleasure! Thank you for posting!

[Madhatter]

Thankyou for the kind posts everyone
Kit, you're right, those squares are 1cm

I'll be posting a couple of "bonus"  pics shortly 

[Madhatter]

 Quick couple of extra shots showing how high the SD sits above the base:

I can't believe that i've only seen this build now... Excellent work on everything!
I haven't read everything yet but i will have to go back to the beginning and go through all the other 23 pages of this when i have more time.

Prepare to be TOTALLY boggled!!!
