CR 90 corvette 3d print with many mods

[thebeans]

I've had a friend print off a cr90 corvette using the Gambody files which are not very accurate so I'm making several modifications by hand to the overall model using techniques such as kitbashing ,scratch building, a bit of trash bash too in order to make it more decent and estetically pleasing. First up was the bridge interior and exterior followed by the cannons.

The ultimate aim of this build will be to present it as a CR corvette variant with a different colour scheme to the tantive IV ( not decided upon yet) a great bulk of the work will be covering 3d print layer lines with ultra thin styrene then greeblieing on top ,so far I've used some 1/72 airfix british airborne willys jeep parts.The overall length of the ship will be 1 meter.

That turned out pretty nice. Was the Gambody stuff accurate with the overall shape though?

I love all the added details and mods, especially the interior!

It's close but i would not call it accurate overall , it has issues everywhere but it has a good basis for the work i have planned ....and that's a LOT of work. It would look fine to most eyes out of the box/ direct from the files but i would never be happy with it that way.

Redoing the pod bay panels, because the files were horrible.

Time to ditch the 70s style flares

Can't wait to see this finished, it may just motivate me to buy a 3D printer

I have a few engine heat sinks to build.

Not much to report on this past couple of weeks but I'm getting something done in the way of modifications

Sweet !

I'm new to 3D printing and my first print was the Thanos from that site and it's fairly decent.
