It isn't until we see your fingers in the shots that we realize that this model isn't 8 feet long. I know you said it's 40", but it just looks massive with your detail density. You are going to have quite the prize possession when your done with her.

Bravo!

Speechless bro, coby is so right, the impression of size and scale is decieving, she is a big model, but without you in shot, it looks HUGE!

Outrageous :cry Its shockingly good.

If you dont mind me asking how many hours have gone into to get the model to this stage?
 
Re: 40" 1/2 ISD scratchbuilt (progress shots) 04/02 updates

Thanks guys :)

I really dont know how many hours I have spent on it... I started in June... And I can work on it 18 hours per day, 7/7. And I can let it 2 months, just gluing one or two details when I get a job :D So I cant count the time... And to be honest I dont to count the time and the $ it costed me :lol

Here's a pic of me to get the scale : yes it's not too big, but enough to take space in a room :lol I dont know where I could display it :lol




Here's a shot of the bridge.

What do you think about the color ? It's a mix of 95/5 white/black. It's a bit too gray IMHO. So I will do a new mix with a ratio 97/1/2 white/black/buff (yep I think the buff hue is very important :D).

None of those issues are important, what IS important is how much $$$$ would you sell it to ME for????? LOL

Seriously, that is absolutely amazing. I think I'd sell my kidneys to get something that nice.

Dave :)

PS I agree on the addition of the buff color by the way. It needs to be warmed up just a touch.

ton travail est vraiment fabuleux! je regrette ton départ de l'autre forum car tu aurai eu beaucoup de choses à nous apprendre!
The colour look good for me because in the studio they're use a lot a lights and that's change what we see in the movie.

Hey guys thanks :D

Anyway the famous Kurt, aka Kuhn Global here, visited me last week since he was in Paris.
