Beginning detailing on the superstructure. I don't have any good pics of the progress, but here are some pics of the detailing layed down and primered. More detailing will be added later.

This next group of pics shows the cannon housings on the side of the superstructure. i only built one cannon, then took a bunch of pics because I'm not sure if I like it or not. I know I want to find a better way to do the guns. I would like to build one good one then cast 7 more but I don't know how to do that. So if anyone can help.....:rolleyes

Time to work on the side trench's. First I measured the gap based off of the ertl model and reference photos, then cut strips of .90 styrene as the base frame and layed them in as a test.(which is the first photos)
I then just began laying in detail that consisted of kitbashed pieces and whatever else I could find. Again, this is the part where you get creative.
Much of the detailing is just a base as it is too chunky. I will layer in more detailing on top of this layer later to make it look more dense and jumbled.

Again, sorry pics suck!:cry

I didn't like the detail on the upper part of the superstructure because it was too chunky.So I decided to redue it.

Here the detail is being corrected with more smaller detail and levels.
I also began adding extra bits of detail to the lower levels of the superstructure.

Next I filled in the detail on the port rear of the superstructure. I did not finish the starboard side because I have yet to place the battery pack that will control the lights, into the compartment.

A couple quick shots showing the size in comparison to the ertl model.

Starting work on the rear. This has single handedly been the hardest part of the whole model. For one thing, I don't think I got the slope of the panel platting correct, no the frame pieces that the secondary engines come out from.
The detail on the corner edges are from the mpc Falcon.:rolleyes

Here is a shot of the frames for the secondary engines. I can't quite figure out if this is how they go. Please help! I think this is what is throwing everything in the back off!!:cry

Despite my uncertainty about the rear section being correct, I pressed on working on some of the detail between the two nacels.
