ANH Devastator Part Maps

[jcoffman99]

Hey all,

A bunch of us just finished mapping the Falcon. (You can see the maps here and the thread here.) and now I'm starting up the Devastator. So many of the old maps are missing, have dead links, or are incomplete. So I figured I'd keep the ball rolling and start this one. Here's a link to where all things relating to the Devastator will be stored. As always any help is welcomed as this will be a group effort.

Here are a few of the ones I'm working on. I'll add numbers as the build goes on and I get a better idea of how many kits we'll have.

Thanks,
John


*Edit. I found a few mistakes and cleaned up/combined a map.

So I've found one of the parts missing from the old maps. However I'm still missing two pieces. Any ideas? THanks,
John

Can't believe I missed this. Fujimi and Jeep set.

Edited the first post with new updated pics.

If I recall, the first part circled is from Fujimi 1/700 New Jersey...

Yeah I found that last night. Super tiny piece. All that I need now are the two boxes on each side of the back.

The top circled one should be from Fujimi Missouri, but I can't guarantee that.
If you have the kit, check part nº 29...maybe?

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank YOU for doing this!
I've compiled some info on this iconic model over the years so I think I can contribute with some IDs.
It's always great to have it all in one place.

I'm working on the antenna now. It's hard to find a good, hi res pic of it in its original state.

Thanks to Geek1138 for letting me use his awesome rendering. Working on this today.

One thing I've looked for on this puppy, is the actual dimensions of the main hull. According to Sean T2 Sides it's approximately 29" wide, 48" long and about 1 foot high. He built a beautiful model. So I guess we can't go wrong with his dimensions. It would be nice if someone did a photogrammetry scan of the model. Like this one on the Falcon. I know most people here are familiar with this thread, ; ). Hint Hint.

SW – ANH (5 Foot) - Studio Scale Millennium Falcon Build

Thought I would share some initial and early progress on my ‘5 foot’ Millennium Falcon dimensional survey and eventual studio scale build. I come from a Visual Effects/Design Engineering background and I’ll be leveraging techniques and tools I use every day to help define the forms and overall...

Again, Sean's model is beautiful, so this will probably be the best base, for all the greeblie goodness.

Star Destroyer Devastator - ANH Style Replica

Thought it was time to introduce the latest project. Been tinkering on it a while, but at a point where I've had a few folks asking about it. My intent was to make this as close as possible to recreating the original filming model as it looked back in '77 rather than how it looks today...

So how's it look so far? I still have a lot to learn about the kits used. Corrections are always welcome.

 

[jcoffman99]

Are the cranes from the Tamiya Gneisenau?

So far it is consistent with the info I have.
But I suggest you extend the green color of the big Akagi parts to the end. It's all the same piece with styrene strips glued on top.
Also, amongst the not-yet colored greeblies I can see a bunch of bits donated by Tamiya's 1/700 Scharnhorst:
- the dome with the little cannons, on top of the 8rad piece (part nº12)
- next to it, the set of four double-barrel cannons (part nº4)
- the two cranes (part nº31)
by the way, on Scalemates.com the Gneisenau appears as another version of the Scharnhorst, with some new parts. I don't have both kits so don't quote me on that but I'm sure many of the parts needed can be found on either one.

EDIT: I just checked my Scharhorst kit and I found a funny thing: the sprue where the cranes are located has the name "Gneisenau" carved on it! I wouldn't go so far as to say that you don't need the Gneisenau to build the Devastator, but as of today, I've found all the greeblies I need on the Scharnhorst.

So I've seen maps that say this part is from the 8Rad. When looking straight on it kind of does look like a modified B30. However from the side it doesn't match at all. Any ideas on this guy?
