Star Destroyer #3

Randy13 · 10-07-2011, 11:26 AM

I’m going to have to go to the doctor now because I’m seeing double. This is outstanding! Thank you, Rick for sharing this build. As Eric and Julien have inspired you, your work is and will be an inspiration for others.

That looks too cool Ringa! Those composites are sweet

Guy Cowen · 10-09-2011, 03:59 PM

Truly stunning.

Robert McLain · 10-09-2011, 04:54 PM

This is a great time for the studio scale section. Your and Tox's builds are unbelievable! It would be really cool to see both sitting side by side.

Superb Work...WOW!!!!

I've been away for the last week attending a funeral and have not had a chance to catch up here. These are awesome comments, guys! Thanks!

I would LOVE to see Julien's model in person! There are so many outstanding builds here, we could have a replica of the Star Wars Exhibit if we could get all these fantastic models and props together in one place! Closest we came to something like that was WonderFest this year.

Thanks!

It's interesting to see in those BluRay images how much the original filming model changed during its construction. Lorne Peterson said that they did a test shot of the underside of the ship, then realized it needed more detail. The BluRay images must show what it looked like before that first test. Very cool. Thanks for posting!

FANTASTIC.

Here's something I wasn't sure if I was going to do... engine flaps. In the end, though, if I want this to be as much like the original filming model as I can make it, I would have to have them.

The original part comes from the Aurora Sealab. From what I've seen, there is only one, maybe two per kit, and the kit is very rare and very expensive. If I had the part, it would be too fragile to cast, so I had to scratch build them.

One of the reasons I was hesitant to do them is because I wasn't sure how sturdy they would be. I was concerned that I would be knocking them off every time I had to turn a light bulb. Turns out they are very sturdy, and they don't get in the way of reaching the bulbs as much as I thought.

Here are a couple of photos I just took with lights on and off...

This makes the model one step closer to completion! So little left to do!

BEAUTIFUL! Just beautiful.

I'm in love...

I know Jason and Mike are working on including that particular Sealab part along with their resin sets because I sent them one of my spares to be cast.

Not that it helps you for this build, Rick, but hopefully it will for others who are trying to figure out how to provision all the parts needed for one of these beasts.

Most amazing thing ever. I always loved Star Destroyers

Randy13 · 10-24-2011, 12:25 PM

Perfection!

ringa · 11-19-2011, 01:48 PM

Got a new camera. Can take better pictures. Here's one for now.

JD1 · 11-19-2011, 02:00 PM

Awesome, as always!

Love the side-trench taper! It gets skipped by a lot of builds, but it's such a big part of this model's character!

ringa · 01-01-2012, 10:40 AM

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I've done anything on this model. After more than a year of intense work on it, I just had to get away from it for a while.

This morning I took a new shot of the back of the ship to redo an older shot that did not have flaps on the engines. Still some missing pieces, but I will have to wait until what I need turns up.

I've updated my website with photos of this model. All three Star Destroyer replicas can be seen here: Rick Ingalsbe Studio

Hey Rick,

Happy New Year~~
Also, I have to agree with Lee's compliment.
Especially, the light effect is perfect.

thanks Eric.
