You were at CE II??? I was part of the Lucasfilm crew ... here's the only picture of me ... very early in the morning at 7:30 AM before the rest of the vendors and crew arrived :



I was only allowed to wear my custom aubergine/egg plant color robes ... so I'm not in full Anakin Ep. III costume ... and I'm wearing sandals because it was bloody hot in Essen :wacko

The last three weeks was all about filling, sanding, filling, sanding, filling, sanding....and so on. I also had to correct or refine some parts. I still need a new solution for the windows and some other parts as well....but enough with the boring parts.

I have finally completed the ceiling. First I needed to finally install the pillars, make a third one (I used my "proto", shortened it and renewed some parts) and get that stairway installed. The stairway had heavy deformation to some parts. I filled and sanded...and filled and sanded...at least the most annyoing deformations.
Anyway, the pillar in the middle is exactly placed over the stand that is inserted below. So this pillar is very important. It gives the whole thing stability while beeing on the stand.
I also added another "Hutt" symbol to the ceiling paneling.
After trying and trying to get all parts accurate for assembling (middle part, rear, floor and ceiling) it finally works. Boy I can tell you...this was a tough job but everything matches fine now:

The hatch was also finally installed. The break through areas were finally encased and filled and sanded (etc)....

After breaking the throne and arm rest several times over the time I finally also dropped the whole thing... and it broke in pieces....again. After glueing and.....wait a second.... filling and sanding (yawn)....I also finally could prime the floor (after finishing the paneling):

So finally the ceiling and floor are primed and are accurate for assembling:

......to be continued in the next post
 
So the inside of the barge to the rear and middle part is almost done. What's missing now is the bar area. The "ending" from the playable inner barge to the front.
I started with simply backing the walls and the floor. Then I started to build the bar itself:

It is not yet finished but I am very happy with it for now. What is missing is the whole beer drawing system and of course I first need to prime soem parts before I can finally glue all parts. Also the light will be more yellowish...but you will see in the next updates...stay tuned!


I hope you like it!
