Another Star Ship

**yuumi2891103** · Mar 22, 2012

When I was looking at the calender of my office, it was a picture of a big rock in Australia. It looks like a star ship to me. ;D Then I started to build another star ship.

http://travel.sndimg.com/static_file...ow_966x543.jpg

I cut up some acrylic resin plate and sheet plastic.

The size is just 2 feet long.

Last year I bought a box of acrylic resin for about $25.00

I didn't draw any plan for this. ;D I've just fit the sheet plastic and cut and glue.
The upper part of the hull is almost OK.

OK, then I made some parts for detailing.

I have been thinking how do I make a lot of parts something like used on Super Star Destroyer in a easy way.

Then I tried this...

Just stack the sheet plastic

And using my power saw to make a many grooves.

Also, for the clear acrylic plates for tiny window lights.

And paint it (May be silver would be better than black :P) and sand the surface to remove the paint on the window away.

So, please give me your straight comment.

Thanks for looking,

Thank you very much for looking Oggy-san.
The idea is came out from my wooden craft experiences. I used that way when I make a mortise and I've just happened to remember that.

Thank you very much Al-san. There might be a lot of problem to be solved
but I'm enjoying this build.

Thank you very much Randy-san.
I hope you enjoy my build and give me any comment you feel.

Thank you very much Otter-san !! I will add a tower in the center of the hull and bulky box structure on the aft underside. So it will be looking like a sphinx or something. I wanted to put some archaeological taste there.

Hi, Michael !
Yeah, I started again. The ship is departed but I don't know where this ship would go

.

**yuumi2891103** · Mar 28, 2012

Progress of 10 hours.

Basic structure of lower hull.

I've used a power plane to add an angle to a cut edges.

Stared to detailing with that scored plates.

Not to be too busy, I added some space and kit parts to take a rhythm.

A few more stack to go but I'm too tired. Let's call it a day.

Thanks for looking

**DaddyfromNaboo** · Mar 28, 2012

Katsu-San, your builds are the best examples of original builds I have seen in a long time, and great tutorials in scratch building, not only in terms of technique but also regarding the creative design process. Thank you for sharing the build progress with us!

Katsu, another great update. cant wait to see what else your going to do.

**yuumi2891103** · Mar 28, 2012

Thanks Al-san,
There must be any other effective way to use those plates maybe.
I need to practice more.

**Ray22** · Mar 28, 2012

The plates look good to me Katsu great job!

**CB2001** · Mar 28, 2012

Dude, this is awesome. As crazy as it sounds, the design sort of looks like a cross between the original and RIS Battlestar Galactica.

A little progress of detailing for port side bay.
Four hours work and almost done there.

I'm gradually getting some knack of using that scored plates.

Not to be monotony, I added some bits and kit parts.

Thanks for looking.
