Hi Scott,

Yes. I'm planning to scribe directly on the acrylic!
I wonder if you have any other idea?

thanks Eric.

Beautiful! Will you scribe directly on the acrylic?

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

Thank you Juilen~

Unfortunately, I have no any special tools and just cut it by manual working with acrylic knife.

thanks Eric.

That's impressive !

I think scribbing the acrylic gives better (sharper) results than scribbing styrene.

Julien,

I'm always thinking that the scribbing is the most difficult work in the modeling work. :cry
Do you use any tools to scribe?

thanks Eric.

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

Julien,

I don't agree with your thinking for the scribbing on 8' SD.
I will follow Rick's method to scribe on my Devastator.

thanks Eric.

Looking FANTASTIC, Eric! I'm happy you are making this model all you want it to be!

Good luck with the scribing. I know it is not fun, but when finished, the results are worth the hard work.

Thanks Friends~

Now, I'm scribing uncountible panel lines on the hull.
Although I need hard work for few weeks, it will make a valuable result as Rick said.

thanks Eric.

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

Today, I did scribe some panel line on the upper hull, port side and the bridge~

I have to respect some persons who did scribe the panel line work on their model.
Actullay, I experience hard work of a hell.:cry I don't like this work.

thanks Eric.

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

You're doing a great job, Eric, keep it up! Just think of it as a series of small steps, and not as one huge mountain. Before you know it, you will be finished.

It's looking good, my friend!

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

Yes, it looks like a pain to make the scribe lines, but it has no time limit. I guess you could take as much time as you want! Looks great! I haven't scribed much, but yes, this really looks like a lot of work!

Really amazing work Sir! You can tell your passionate about the ship!

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

Thanks Rick~

Currently, I'm trying to find the proper brass square channel.
I wonder if you used 1/8" square channel w/ 0.022 thickness?

thanks Eric.

Thanks Scott & Captain Han Solo~

Yep. I will do my best on the panel line with my time.

That's correct.

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

It's a testament to how good the original design is, as well as how well this is coming along, that a not-close-to-finished version still blows me away.

This is shaping up to be amazing.

 

[Skullbeast]

Looking great!

Re: Building the ANH Star Destroyer

Thanks my friends for your kind words

Today, the superstructure w/ the bridge is done and also, I coated the primer on the right side of hull in order to check the scribed panel lines.

thanks Eric.
