That´s the best SW model not built by ILM. :lol Maybe better than some ILM creations.

It's better in my book. Not only is it just as detailed as the ILM ones, we get to see it every step of the way.

Many thanks guys ! I really appreciate your words =) They give me motivation to continue this beast !
New parts after I shaved the old details I glued on the side of the secondary engine boxes, which where wrong.
Original part with real model :

Yep I used the Finemolds tie fighter for that (and to cast the sherman suspension part, used on the 4 secondary engine boxes).
The original part is the inner wing strip of the MPC DV's TIE Fighter.
It's hard to see, but there are a couple of pics where you can clearly see it (well maybe not clearly but now you know it's this part, it shouldnt be too difficult )
Well some new pics :

Thanks for your kind words guys !
I finally finished the upper hull. I spent the last days gluing the last details and little chips all over the hull (glued with cyano since they are pvc).
Here the pics :

Indeed. This is incredible work, and you can't seem to get a bad picture of it no matter what the angle or distance. Whether near or far, the detail is sustained and consistent and looks amazing both ways. Incredible work MonsieurTox.

Re: 40" 1/2 ISD scratchbuilt (progress shots) 08/29 Primer !
Its soul destroying that this pinnacle build is in the general section bro and not in studio.
She's just amazing, gorgeous, sexy im running out of words lol.
This now is the benchmark that ALL ISD builds will be measured from, i know the amount of time you put into her so far bro, the passion and anguish from the fall she had a while back, and still you have perservered and created something not many can or ever will!
Your a damn fine buddy Julien and your talent is mindblowing
bests.....lee.
