Primed the inner part and the bar section. Built in now with lightening...some beauty shots:

Finally added the last wires and cables to the middle part:

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

God, that bar is just smooth as silk! I wouldn't mind grabbing a glass of jawa juice from there, provided no Jedi vandals were firing blaster canons into the deck that weekend..

Sorry if you've answered this before but I've got to ask, what sanding methods/grit levels do you use to get such a clean result on your styrene?

Thank you! Well it is not that smooth and accurate....but lots of details help irritating your eyes

. I use P180 for the rough stuf and P320 for actually smoothing. I used to use P600...but it made me go nuts honestly...

This update is kind of of a mess. I missed out to take a few pictures and did lots of pics with actually no sense behind. Anyway...here we go.

First up was priming the sides of the middle part:

I then finally started to fix the mast to the deck. The mast is screwed into the square tube mounted to the top of the deck:

I needed to screw the ship together because three of four ends of the handrails broke. I glued them back in place with the ship mounted together. I also inserted some metal wires to make it more solid. I also changed the transition form the middle part handrail to front and rear because it broke all the time.

Some details to the handrail I made. Not screen accurate but makes it more stabil.

Testing with figure and cannon:

Some details I forgot:

And last but not least I need four gargoyles for the deck. Started with one main sculpt. Theses are mainly the same like on Jabba's throne:

Next up are the Ishi Tib gargoyles (for the throne room). I did some sculpts based on the Hasbro figure just noticing they are waaaay too big. So I started an own sculpt (WIP):

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

This simply has to go down as the greatest Sail Barge build ever and one of the best built Star Wars items ever.

When it's all done I will give you 10k for it,....right after I win the lottery.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The middle part is finished...Wohooo!

First up was finishing the gargoyles. Did a mold, resin duplicates, made a ring and used some teethbrush color rings for the "frame":

Celebrating the main hatch:

...and the other two hatches (waiting for the paint job to be glued to the ship):

Side window:

Bar inside:

Side door:

Middle part ogether with the nose: Some beauty shots.

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

Wow, this thing is looking really good. I never even noticed the gargoyles before. So much detail in Star Wars, always finding new stuff.

I say patience. R2 will be along and.....

wbobafett · Jun 17, 2016

So sorry. Live came in the way.....I haven't done much since and lost it a bit. But as I always come back let's hope for the joy coming back very soon. I am struggling a bit with the sails and the canon.....but will find solutions I am sure
