I concur with all the favorable comments, doctor Scratchy has one heck of a build going on here!.
Mate, your detailing is just amazing, nice clean & crisp work that's for sure.
That conning tower detail is just mindblowing.

Whoa, the detail you put into that command tower is just amazing! I'm certainly going to follow this WIP. Great job!

I'm glad you like it Oriontide.

Scratchy, out of curiosity, what did you make the x-bar antenna out of?

Tial, the "X-bar" antenna is made out of styrene and stretched sprue.

Actually, I've been into modelling for the last two years, before that I did some in 1997. I don't consider myself a seasoned pro or anything, I'm still learning as I go.

Thanks for the kind words!

I'll have some of my WIP builds at this weekends IPMS show in Vancouver. I'll have the Star Destroyer, three scratched 1/72 AT-STs and my lighted 1/2256 Nebulon B on display.

For more details;

IPMS Vancouver

In my profile, there's a link in my "contact info", click on it and it'll take you to a page that I have. They're in an album titled "scratchbuilt models".

Thanks Darthweezy!

It's been awhile, here's some pics on the progress of the back of the "Neck". Still have some more detail to throw on it, hope you like.

Impressive....most impressive

Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

The detailing on this build is so amazing my brain finds it easier to accept that you have really huge hands, a huge coke-can and a huge keyboard, not to mention all the other really big stuff in the background.

thank you Tial and Zykotec. It's a little deceiving by the pics, but yeah it's a small build.

Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

Scratchy I don't know how you do it what kind of eyes do you have that allows you to work on detail this small? In my case I'm getting a magnifying lamp with 5x diopter as my eyes are taking a beating. I used to work in an electronics plant and they have these 10x dazer magnifiers! but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Very deceiving. The details make this thing look way bigger.

Well, my peepers are still good. I think "Patience" is my most valuable tool that I have while building this. I've accepted the fact that this Star Destroyer will take a long time to build. Building this subject was the main reason why I tried my hand a scratchbuilding in the first place.

Thanks Altername, I think the photography skews the model though, making it look much larger than what it is.

Thanks Repro!:cool

It's been over a month since my last post. I haven't had much time to work on this build but I did manage to finish and start a couple sections.

The last of the detailing of the back of the neck,.....

a close up.....

Here's the start of the Port and Starboard sides of the Neck
