    Nov 26, 2009 - Korbanth 38" Super Star Destroyer model #1

    I did a run of these fan created 38 inch SSD models a little while ago, and finally got my own personal model light up with fiberoptics by LEE FURRY...

    This prompted a few more people to ask me about possibility of getting a kit, and the answer is, the master has been remolded and going to make a small run of these models...PM me for price and availability.

    Also, I can give you Lee Furry's info, but dont know his price or timeframe to put fiberoptics into these kits, you can inquire, but he has a website that shows how he did it, he says its just time consuming is the most part









    Thanks for looking....

    Wow- hope it doesn't fall off that shelf!

    Lee did a Startdestroyer for me from scratch a couple of years ago and it was great!

    Well, I wish I could take credit for its build and paint up job, but I hired a local model builder a few years back to make the master which was molded and perfect copies were made, and then Lee Furry did the build up and lighting of them for me, so this is my personal copy.

    Now, my same model builder is prototyping a 6 foot long SSD model that will be build in sections with a light wood inner super structure and can imagine hanging that from the ceiling....this 6 foot STUDIO SCALE SSD model might be $900 or so, but just imagine the people who'd ask where it came from....no pics yet, but the upper and lower hulls are created in plexiglass for their basic shape for now, and just doing all the buildings for the upper structure, and making the engines in a machine shop to use as masters...it will be incredible...to behold.

    Man, that looks phenomenal!

    I'm a sucker for the engine glows myself. Especially when the shape of the ship allows for the soft light from it to spill...

    Fantastic.

    Any chance of posting the website showing the fiberoptics by LEE FURRY or providing his contact info?

    Cheers

    I think I remember seeing the original build up thread somewhere last year. Oh how would love to have a 6' SSD!

    the plexiglass was cut in sections for both the top and bottom hulls of the six foot SSD model...and the surface details is being applied...the engines were turned on a lathe at a metal shop, so they will look nice once molded and casted...imagine having that hanging from a ceiling with fiber optic lights.

    might look like the original LFL SSD -










    This image appears maybe to be measurements of the actual screen used 9 foot one, I think, I just found these images and using them for references.

    Nah - those are from the renders and measurements I did - I sent them to you a few months ago. Here's a couple more while I'm at it! Did I ever finish sending you those other reference pics? Sorry if not - let me know what areas you need covered.

    Re the drawing, some measurements ARE taken off the original, but only a few - the rest are extrapolated (guesstimated!) from those. I didn't take the measurements, they were kindly done for me by a licensee during an Archive visit. The overall length should be correct (the one from BotLA and Chronicles isn't, unfortunately).

    Cheers,
    Martyn
