1/350 Medical Frigate Build/WIP

[dockbay94]

Hello again, been a long time since I posted anything as I have been busy, but aren't we all. here is a little tease per say. I have been working on my frigate since I received it November 2018 mainly weekends only here and there. I do have a life outside my hobby. I am close to the finish line. this here is just a test to see how all the lighting looks and somewhat put together ( tape, tack on CA glue ) I still need to add a few beacon lights, all those pesky little shield plates on the rear fuselage ship/plane parts. if you wish to see more stay tuned as I will be doing a build log on what I did to make this kit. I have lot's of pictures of my process and will post little by little. there is link to a quick video I posted as well. OH, and there is a 1/350 bandai falcon I lit up i'm adding.

Thanks for Looking and enjoy! any questions? please let me know.

It's about time! The detail and mods you've done to this thing alone deserves a thread. Such a great build and it definitely showcases your passion for this ship.

Oh no. The 1/350 Falcon you're using is based on the 5-footer studio model. The one in the movie, however, was the 3-footer. So... looks like you'll have to scrap the entire thing -- frigate and all -- and start over. I'll do you a solid and take this one off your hands. Send my a PM.



JK. Looks great!

well... let me think about that! MMMM - nope! I am legally blind now thanks to this tiny falcon! I love a challenge and this was definitely one them. I think I got my falcons right. I initially built two of them ANH and ESB versions, I sold the ANH to my buddy he liked it so much. I'll get a divorce before I part with this. LOL

Thanks to bandai for making such a Detailed kit! all I had to do was figure out how to light it all up? and in perfect scale with the frigate! both gun bays, front mandible headlights .25 FO, cockpit, and four slow fred flashing led's under the front main hull. she will look nice when I attach her to the frigate and will bring this Nebulon B to life.

Thanks, I somewhat custom built it. Late November 2018 we had a Purge of old stock before inventory and I was able to get T shaped headrest mounts and square tube brackets, some with ball joints and put together what I thought looked good plus can carry the weight of this beast. I wanted an ILM stand/mount. I did not want to Prop this Model on two poles from underneath that takes away the illusion of it floating. so the pole/pipe that JPG supplied was too short. I bought a longer one and cut it to extend almost to the nose of the ship. and fits perfectly and give's the model strength and integrity without any sagging. hope that helps. and thanks again.
