I'm almost certain this CG model was used to master the Zvezda kit. It's very similar in surface detail and placement.

New Zvezda Star Destroyer Model kit

ok guys. Still playing with some 3D models while waiting for my SD to come in. I've scaled this down to the size it needs to be and at that size the columns are in my opinion a little too bulky. In the pics I've seen, they appear to be small profile I-beams. I've made them the smallest they can be so I think I may print the dome without the columns and "antennae" and just use plastic I-beams and rod that's closer to scale. What do you guys think? You agree the one with the columns look too bulky? Keep in mind these are low resolution images. Any input would be appreciated.

Although they may be a little bigger than scale, I think their benefit of their inclusion outweighs the pain it would be to replace them at scale by hand.
As the above photo shows, the kits base for the shield generator is all wrong. Perhaps an option could be available to print an accurate base along with the generator.

Man, those Russians sure do love their pillow cases :lol Posting a "ME TOO!!!!!" - arrived suddenly this morning, despite tracking still saying it was being processed in Richmond, BC, the box a little worse for wear, but contents, despite being rummaged through by Canada Post, intact. Spent the morning grinning like an idiot...before remembering that the only hobby shop in town just closed down and I don't even have decent cement to get started!!!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!!!! Is there a hardware-store product that will suffice for a decent adhesive? ABS adhesive? Acetone? Butanone?

Certain hardware stores found in other areas than mine apparently - 3 hardware and home building stores and nothing. Looks like laquer thinner is the closest I'm going to come. :unsure

To whom who received their kit, are you happy with your eBay seller and if yes, which one did you pick? I'm ready to order mine, I have multiple sellers at almost the same price, but from what I've seen, some of your sellers didn't really protected the box.
BTW, I'm still progressing on my 3D printed Avenger, currently printing the hull shield generators and turbolasers

Bentleystanislav – shipped fast, in original package (plus a standard issue Russian shipping pillow! :lol), with tracking. Ideally won't have to go quite so international again (just because of the wrangling at Russia Post and Canada Post's ends) but very happy with the transaction.

Thank you Timmythekid but I can't find this seller (Bentleystanislav) at eBay. I guess he doesn't sell anymore

Did yours say it left Russia or did the tracking show it just arrived in customs in B.C.? I keep putting off contacting the Russian post but Im sure I should soonish.
