Your attention to detail is amazing!
I am inspired to return to a ship I started years ago and never finished.
Great work!.

Thank you very much for your comment and nice to hear you started to build.
I hope you have a happy time with her.
Here are some progress. I started the right side.
This time, I prefabricated the layer of the detail for about 5 or 6 floors as one unit.
The size of the unit is about 5 inches long and height of half inch which is consisting of several thickness of the scribed plates including a few clear one. I made a several types of it. Then I cut those units into several block parts. When I used those block parts for detailing. Some of them were glued upside down to make a variety.

It took 4 hours to be done and was fun to build.
This is the left side I did before. Just to compare.
Thanks for looking.

Continue on right side detailing.
This is actually how I do this.
Make some multiple layer of the scored plates.
Then cut up into the several blocks.
Arrange blocks as a detail.
Thanks for looking.
Back on to continue detailing the part of the aft right section.
Just a small progress after 2 weeks of house keeping stuff.

Thanks, Ray-san.
I decided to buy a small air conditioner this summer.
Because my work shack gets too hot in this season.
I can's stay in there not more than 3 hours.![]()
Start to build stern section.
I added some kit parts on the flat surface.
I bought some electric parts from the radio shack a month ago.
It's the LED reflector.
Sanded outside to strip metal plating.
Then I glued some thin strip of sheet plastics.
I hope you can see the engine nozzles here.
Installed to the stern section.
Let's light it up for the testing.
Give it a little bit of bits.
Thanks for looking.
Wow. thats looking great katsu. cant wait to see it in primer.
Katsu-san, I really enjoy watching and learning from your clever techniques and it's amazing how much your build keeps improving with each addition you make.
You consistently make innovations that seem obvious in hindsight.

Thank you, Tom-san!
I wanted a little volume at the aft section. I think it's going to be a little accent for the rather flat place. I'm hoping it work.

Katsu-san,
This is an excellent and original idea, love the detail you have included on this build.
Will be following with great interest
Wicked stuff

Your build is very impressive. I hope that I can, one day, produce work as well as you... I can't identify this ship, though. Is it your own creation, or is it a SS model of an existing ship?
Hello, Cedeus-san!!
Thank you very much for looking at my build.
This is my original designed ship. I got a inspiration from a photo of a very large rock on the mountain in Australia.
This is my third build of the original star ship but when I was about to
build the first one, I was wondering if I mess it up.
Once you started, you can make it.
OK, some progress here.
Detailing around the engines.
Tiny lighting.
Thanks for looking.
You have one heck of an imagination, and the skills to realize it!!!
Incredible!

Here are some pics that I'm trying to add some parts to the upper side on the aft.
There I wanted to give it some dynamic and massive form like lower side.
Thanks for looking.
That is really awesome! When it's completed it'll be able to make a star destroyer pee on the rug and hide under the bed!
