Studio Scale K'tinga scratch build

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.

REL, be honest, how many times during the taping of those panel lines did you think "What the hell was I thinking?!?!?!?!"

Looks beautiful as always man. Great work.

Thanks.

Actually those are all hand scribed, and yes it was a nightmare, haha.

Amazing!

And here I was thinking you were a mad man, come to find out you're really bat ***** crazy

It really looks like everything here was just printed out. I have no idea how a person can be so precise

Do I see an R2-D2 foot on the side there?! Is that really on the prop? Cool...

Thanks.

Amazing.

Awesome work REL, looks great.

Yep you do see an R2 foot.
On the studio model it was housing a spotlight.



You also will find parts from Vaders Tie on the bottom neck.

Looks like another R2 part there, too.

I kid you not... I see these parts and I hear the Goldsmith STTMP "Klingon" music playing.

Breathtaking detail, sir.

A long time ago when Charles Adams still had his Starship Builder site there was a Ktinga group that had mapped out a lot of the kits and parts for this ship. The group sort of went it's own ways and the info and Charles site are now long gone.

I'm glad to see someone has taken it up again.

Just stunning, as ever ..!!! you're just too good Rich..

Phil

I did the piping along the back of the bridge.

wow!

Fascinating stuff!!

X-Wing engine halves were also used on this model !

amazing work!

Thanks everyone.

I'm working on the neck now.

First make cross sections out of plexiglass.

Then fill them in and sculpt them to shape, in this case a combo of 15lb rigid foam and bondo.


Then vac form styrene over them so I have something to detail. I did this twice because of the layered details.

dammit dude, all your builds are simply amazing, wish i was your next-door neighbor, id spend most of the time just watching you....... like a damn stalker!

Someone amazingly ID'd a part that I had no idea what it was, then generously is allowing me to mold and cast it.

This is twice now on this build someone has done that.

Thank you Marc, and thank you Scott, I really really appreciate it!

Cool stuff like the Vac video!

Thanks.

I'm starting on the detail for the neck.

My new favourite word is K'tinga
This is Amazing!! I'll be keeping an eye on this one
