Well, it's greeblie's market in there and I love it...yeah the scribing is a pain, but in the end it adds something special to the whole ship:cool
 
Re: Scratch built Star Destroyer 2nd attempt

Starting on the main hangar bay. I used pencil lead for a mechanical pencil to build the rafters. I then used a slightly larger pencil lead for the crane track. this was difficult to build because the lead is very brittle and breaks easily.

Re: Scratch built Star Destroyer 2nd attempt

shortly after working on the hangar bay it became apparent to me that the hangar was a little too narrow. The red lines represent how much wider the bay needs to be in order to fit the rest of the detail. So I had to cut the hull and rebuild the detail surrounding the bay.

Re: Scratch built Star Destroyer 2nd attempt

Here are some updated pics of the hangar bay now that I have widened it. I still have a little more detail to add and I'm going to replace the crane claw with a better one.

Re: Scratch built Star Destroyer 2nd attempt

Working on the detail on the rear of the bridge neck. Once again I used pencil lead for the bars running along the rear panel, then used greeblies to fill in the rest of the detail. This piece went through several changes before I was saticefied.

Looking Good. Why may ask do you use pencil lead and not styrene.

This model started out on a very tight budget so I just used a lot of cheap materials. I later purchased some styrene strips but I had already completed this part and am relatively saticefied with it.

The lead trick is a good one (don't mind if I use it meself;)) That hangar bay looks wicked!
