Man I love this part... (when I get to work on it)...
Threw together some more surface tiling (some scratched) and the small tower structure in the lower right quadrant...

Thanks. Forgot to overlay the general "area shot" inspiration for that hunk... there will be a final "superdetailing" pass over all structures near the end of each area completion, when I paint and glue up each area.

Wow! I can't think of anything else to say! :love
Thanks guys. uk - we may both be too old and gray before I finish the first one, lol.
minifig - currently the core tiles for mine are 2 inch, although I will be needing to use a mix of other sizes across the varying surface areas. I will be intermixing some 1.5 inch subtiles (cut from 3" ones) in the next layer. The studio scale one used a lot of 3 inch ones from what I remember calculating at one time. Still at a loss as to where I put the box of varying sized tiles I had saved up. That's what I get for regorganizing my stash! I did notice your great looking tiles from your recent post and will let you know if I run across any that would work in the upper and left areas as I work my way around...

Finally got around to fixing the "L"-shaped red structure... had originally prototyped it up wrong (too short and wrong cut-off). Stripped the left half and added the extender... then laid out a full run of surface all the way up the side... and... suddenly... [drum roll] SHAZAAM - it all lined up from the original planning! Now THIS is where the fun begins!

Painted up the extended "L" and better lighting on this one for that section...
A little tweaking around the under-construction tower... and started laying out the upper middle. Should get the top laid out this week. Then onto the left, denser area that the Falcon flies over as it approaches the port... once it is all generally laid out, then will start on the tower and detailing up all the tiled areas...

Hey, thanks!
Had an afternoon to work on it again... got the larger red structure on the left side mostly done. Working on the back gray grid structure next...

I follow this for quite some time. Dreamed of it, but never dared to go near.
Thanks for taking this on and making a great thread about it!
