Looks so nice and industrial. Ever thought of going into architectural modeling?

 

[moffeaton]

Yes, but the constant flow of money and women was a turn off

it's not easy to find them... Star Wars has been pretty thoroughly explored

I was browsing through a Star Wars book and found a ship I've never seen people build, and I like it a lot, is the rebel freighter, are you aware of anyone who has replicated the studio scale model I'd love to see it.

The "tuna" ship from ESB? Allan Hansen made a great set of parts as a "starter set" ages ago and Lee Ralph was the closest to getting it done, but I don't know if he ever finished it. It's an impossible ship to get right without studying the real one, but from what I remember, Lee did a tremendous job. Allan sold his, and I think "that was that".

But I have soft plans to do one one day. Slowly gathering reference over the years....

How about the deflection tower? We're taking a lot of fire from the right side of it.
