Okay...wow...it has been forever I think. The last update is almost eight month back!!! Shocking!! I am very sorry for those who waited patiently.
Well moving went fine and nearly nothing broke (one window so far). I lost some sketches which is nothing to worry about but it lasted till I have rethought how I started to plan the handrails...which is a bit annonying.
Well today I just started....finally....and this update is really not that spectacular, but you can see: I am going on with it...the project is still alive!
Making the railing to the rear of the ship: I mainly use five layers of polystyrene to built the railing (glued together piece after piece so I don't have to bend one large pice at once). The struts are made out of wood....the rest can be seen well in the pics I guess.
I hope you like this "tiny" progress!

The railings are coming along nicely. They are roughly put together now and also roughly sanded:
I noticed a mistake today....well honestly it was three mistakes but I could corrrect two of those (only one pictured ). The last one is concerning the railing to the middle part: I haven't payed attention to the "curving" on the back regarding the front. It simply doesn't match the front railing when I try to put the middle railing straight. I was almost mad because of it, but then I noticed the same on the ILM model....funny....seems they did the same mistake and also came up with the very same solution....more soon...
I hope you like this progress!

Thanks a lot guys...and hahahaha Sym-Cha.
Well...the kit thing: i try my best when I am done with building and before painting. I cant promise anything but will have a try with the German experts here on board.

I worked a lot on the ship, but oh well.....you won't see much progress. I decided to make an update to mainly show what I am going through and that I am really back to get this one finsihed.
First of all I made the railings to the middle part. The ship should stay detachable (front, middle and rear) so this one was a very tough one. I had to think of a detachable solution for this one with it still beeing stable and the transition beeing nearly invisible.
After that I finally found the time to correct some paneling that annoyed me now for month.
So with the railings complete the hull is defintely fix. No changes anymore. Time to get those transition areas done better. Lots of glueing filling and sanding....very time consuming.
Both doors are btw again full with waving and bending. I needed to correct those also. Again lots of sanding and filling and sanding. Also the nose must have had an issue while moving or later. The whole front is broken and was waving. I am still reparing it and hope this will never happen again. A lot of wasted time on this one. The cracks and the loosening mainly happend to the underground.So its not a serious problem but it needs to be fixed.
Also the transition to the underground needs to be done. The tunnel for the wires is as well detachable and I will need something to make this invisble. Here is some pictures of the progress.
While sanding and filling I thought again about the 24 movable windows. I still have a problem with those which I wanted to fix always before priming. The windows are to instable....too thin. They break when moved to often. So I once decided to glue a steel wire behind. The problem now is that those wires often get teared away because they are only palced at one side. I had to face it to remove them all and redoing them...this time all around...every piece is unique because every window is unique. This is most time consuming and I really really hope this time it pays off.
I really hope I have something more of interest next time. I am working on it, but finsihing the hull is the main goal right now.

You should really get in touch with the folks at Hasbro : http://pulse.hasbro.com/en-us and talk about this build, especially now that they are having a special release on the Rancor with an all new 3 3/4 " Jabba sculpt :

I am still in to fixing things that I made once and do not like anymore or even worse...it simply doesn't work anymore.
First of all I started to renew the cables to the front deck. The guitar strings just look way better:
Next I was making the cable tunnels to the undersurface:
Then I tried to make some deatils to the hull. A small part for the ship but a lot of work (on top comparison to fullsize film model):
More details for the hull:
In the meanwhile I was wotking again on the many problems around the hull. I really wanted to get at least the lower part of the back done. It was hours and hours of filling and sanding. But finally the door plus the lower back now seem nearly done. A few more hours and I might be ready for priming....
Hope you like it.
Cheers
Wolff

Primer......mhhhhhh......so here is some beauty shots
(....whatelse to say besides that it was way too hot to get those parts primed. It got a bit "cloudy" which is in fact not really bad, but at least annoying. The dull parts are a bit rough and will be sanded and primed one more time I think):
Hope you like it like I do
