Building the 8' Star Destroyer (superstructures done)

[ringa]

You did a great job!

The hours go by so fast doing this. That's how you know you love what you're doing.

 

[MonsieurTox]

Yeah but that's all your fault !!

 

[ringa]

Just think of all the sleep you'll get when this model is done... in 2020!

 

[MonsieurTox]

Lol I'd be probably dead if I dont sleep before !! :lol

 

[morsesith21]

Thank you for drawing that! I have yet to build that part on my sd! :lol

Julien,

Good Job~!

I find the Hornet parts from your drawing.

thanks Eric.

Hey Julien

Thanks for sharing your workmethods.. Really inspirational. Helps me get a grasp of how to tackle the bigger projects on my To-Build list the best way.

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks guys, hope that helps, I'm not sure if that's the best method, but this one one works the best for me when possible (harder when there's no kitpart ! :lol)

Hehe yeah Eric Actually they used the Enterprise kit because of the bridge part and the very front part (not pictured in my drawing).

You've probably found this by now but this looks to be the Quad Gun Tractor

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks KB ! It wasnt ID'ed yet.
Cool there're 4 of them in a kit, I won't need to mold and cast them.

 

[KrokoHunter]

hey KB

Great find ... I was looking through a s***load of 1/72 kitscans yesterday to try and find this part for Julien .... but no luck .... I see I was looking all the wrong places

 

[KrokoHunter]

KB .. is it part B21 you're referring to? .. if so .. it doesn't look right to me :-/

 

[Scratchy]

C19, however, looks like an additional part is glued in the center.

Thanks Niels ! :thumbsup

Jay, I think you're right, it will be hard to find this one lol !

 

[Mauiman]

This is looking beautiful. I am glad that you are sticking to this. I hope that when you are done with this thing. George Lucas him self will be green with envy and wonder why up and down he did not hire you for the model making job. So keep at it!

All the best!
Alex

 

[struschie]

Pure awesomness....!
Hats off for such a great project and accurate job

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thank you guys !

I wish you all a Happy New Year !

I moved to my new house house next week, but I still have to pack-up all my SS models (that's safer to do it by my own).

I hope I'll have some significant progress made on the 8 footer this year !

Julien

Happy new year to you too J. Better you than me, moving that SS collection mate, you got a decent van to haul those goodies?.:lol
Looking forward to your progress this year on the SD, this is one of the must watch threads of all time.
Stu

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks Stu ! Hehe no van, that's why that's hard but fortunatly I dont have the whole Star Destroyer to move (not yet though ).

I really hope to start working on the inner structure and frame soon !

Hey Tox, any updates on this build? It was the reason I joined after all. I'd hate to see it fall by the wayside.
