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

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

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

Thanks Niels !

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

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!

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

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 pick-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 !

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?.

Looking forward to your progress this year on the SD, this is one of the must watch threads of all time.

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 :P).

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.

MonsieurTox · 03-20-2012, 10:49 AM

Thanks for your interest !

Unfortunatly I'm still looking for someone who could cut for me the large acrylic panels of the hull and the plywood ribs. Too big for being cut by myself...

Monsieur, you should buy or build your power circle saw table.
I made mine for 15 years ago. Just screwed a power tip saw on the thick
plywood box. I used to cut the 3' x 6' panel with this. Smooth and clean cut.

I should have commented this earlier check out ponoko (3D printing, laser cutting, cnc milling) they call it a "making system". Allows you to upload 2d or 3d files an get them cut or grown free to join just have to pay for cut/grown time an material. I believe they have two locations in Europe (London an Paris) might be worth checking out.
