Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale
Here are some updated pics, the first two are of the face of the tower with some additional details added,
Here's the start of the Secondary Engine that I had to rebuild. I found out that a mixing/medicine cup was used for the ANH Star Destroyer, so I found one and scaled it down with the aide of scale master and the shroud calculater programs, I`m not sure what was used for the Avenger, but I think this would do for me. If anyone knows what the actual part was, I`ld be curious to find out.
I transferred the calculations to some styrene, and with the aide of a compass and protractor, I drew out the pattern,
Placing an Xacto knife in the protractor, I cut along the lines
I found a hole punch that was the perfect size for the bottom of the cup
I shaped and glued the pieces together, I had to do a little trimming on the shroud until I have what you see here
I`m happy with the results, very close to the actual cup
A comparrison pic of the main engine with the secondary,
I`ll need to sand the top flat, I`ll use the rotary tool with the drill press stand, I don`t want to grind down my fingers so I glued the cup to a piece of styrene,
Slice it off, and sand it down with a fine grit paper
There, I have the hard part done, now to start detailing it
Thanks for following along
