I'm an industrial mechanic, so I'm quite familiar with all kinds of drilling.When drilling something, it's usually clamped in a vise and drilled on a drill press, where the drill bit drills into the material at a precise 90-degree angle. The properties of HSS twist drills are perfectly adequate...

I can only tell you about my experience and when you get your drill bits you will be shocked at how thin they actually are. I have to say that I drill all the holes by hand with a Tamiya fine pin vise for bits from 0.1mm - 1.0mm. I have tried various other methods before but the results were...

you need 0,3mm drill bits for 0,25mm cable and 0,6mm drill bits for 0,5mm cable. and you need HSSG drill bits, all others break too quickly.i have used 0,5mm but if i would do it again i would use 0.25mm for the whole ship. this was my soldering plan for 34 cold white 5mm led's and 1 red led for...

I would advise against just drilling holes and allowing light to shine through from the inside. The concept sounds good in theory, but in practice it's a failure. Firstly, as already mentioned, you only see the lights when you're standing directly in front of the model. If you stand to the side...

i build 2 of this kits in the last few years which can be found here if you are intrested: done finally... zvezda/revell 1:2700 ISD imperial star destroyer cross section I didn't raise the side panels on either of them...otherwise, I would have had to adjust the super structure, and...

So if you're referring to the ESB ISD, then we're talking about a Class 2 Imperial Star Destroyer. And yes, the Class 2 SD is much more detailed in terms of visible greeblies, and what's also striking is the paint job. The Class 2 has significantly more panels, contrasting in shades of gray, and...

ok i get it. it was my first cross section attempt and finding the right materials/parts wasn't easy. But I agree with you, of course...in principle, a large portion of the interior fittings would have had to be done with photo-etched parts to do justice to the scale, but I had no desire to do...

hi which griders do you mean and what have the grider to do with a large crew. imo or for my mind it is anyway very hard to imagine a 1600 meter long ship and then to set everything in relation to the rest.

the hull of the shipis is a modified and cut Zvezda/revell 1:2700 ISD and the rest is scratch build, kitbashing and a few 3d printed parts

imperial star destroyer cross section...final pics

Thank you... I appreciate it

no this was always there but in the other pictures it's covered. when you do some more research you will find out that there are 2 more big holes in the uper half as well. the very tiny bandai model kit got it right. on the bandai kit you can see the patch as well

you mean the section that look like a patch.. that is normal... you can see that on other pictures as well

i am not sure if it is the original prop... it looks like it but the lights are so bright... anyway unfortunately there are only very few realy good shots of this prop out there
