Lol. To busy!! Thats Star wars. Layered details to add depth. Once you primer it it will look great.
But that made me laugh. To busy.

Meeehh I still hold by my original statement. I'll probably have to eat my words once it's under primer though haha

Other side finished.....
Looks great Michael, and no, not too busy at all, ALL of the SW universe is "busy" with layers of detail, check out a studio Y wing maybe, its creative license, and a fine stab at it too! Primer that, and it'll pop in a big fashion, but I'm always a sucker for seeing the naked colours of kit parts mashed together in a crazy blend :lol

I for one respect your opinions! I'm not one to defend another's work too often especially when the awesomeness and epicness of that work speaks for itself. But I will say that Michael has made his intentions of this build clear that is to have fun with this build.Clearly the ILM builders did an outstanding job picking those parts. Just about everything looks like it belongs compared to most ANH models. I think Michael has catured that feel. The only thing missing are the parts that do not sit flat on the model such as the 312B Hood or whatever Michael creates to mimic those parts. I totally dig this build! It's the mix of raw talent and boldness to put this much work into a model and not be bothered my accuracy that amazes me! Michael is in the same league as Lasse! The creativity that inspires is the key!

Thanks guys much appreciated.....no it just doesn't bother me at all,
I was really finished proving to myself I could build it when the front
skirt went on!! LOL It's far from perfect in so many ways to the original
but hey I got one......and I can't beat the price! I just like the shape of
the thing, it's cool to walk through the room and see it sitting there.

You just keep making things and you hope
one day someone says "Hey maybe I can make that also".
If you post your stuff here with the mind set of helping or
teaching, the best reward you can get is that some day
someone makes it better than you......that's where the
ultimate reward is!!!:thumbsup

Well I must thank you for being more eloquent about it and respecting my opinion
I was thinking about it actually, I realised that busy wasn't the word I meant...it's more that at first, Michael's kitbashing seems a bit haphazard (of course no kitbashing is though)
but then I figured that actually so were all the OT models, the difference is that when you start studying the models then you understand all the little parts and what kits they came from. You no longer look at it just as cool engine bits, you become kind of trapped into seeing them as where they came from.
Man I dunno what my point even was...I think it was just that I missed the real essence of what he's doing maybe..?

I loved Star Wars when it came out I was 8,
but I never started building things because
I loved Star Wars. Star Wars is just an expression
for the love of building things. So not having this
part or that or it being perfect doesn't bother me.
What would bother me would be if I couldn't make it
or if I quit.....I have ten times more tenacity than I do
talent and that's the truth.!!

A heckling post. As if the open forum doesnt apply to me. Thats my opinion like it or not.
I dont care. Im not hung up accuracy. Most want stuff to be so accurate they never build anything. I like what micheals done. We talk all the time. I think the problem is most are so hung up on What ILM did they cant appreciate anything else. But i bet if ILM did it just like this 90% would be jumping up and down to get it. Thats my 2 cents in an open forum.

The joy, of all the shizzle Michael has packed into the skirt, is if and when he adds hoods, and larger cowlings, it will create such beautiful layers and undercuts, giving that pure industrial "used universe" appeal that grabbed us all as kids. It'll kick some ass, its Michaels show, and what a show it is, i do see Al's point though, labelling it as too busy, is maybe just the wrong comment, given the vast subject matter, that is, plain busy from the OT, so chill out Weezer, grab a chair, and lets just enjoy the ride!

Yyyiiiiikes I didn't think people would get so involved over that comment. Haha well whatever, at the end of the day it's Star Wars at its heart and that's what we're here for

Hi guys, I think my post is being taken the wrong way. I actually agree with iedbountyhunter and lee. I was only trying to say sometimes just saying "I disagree" is enough. Sorry if you took it the wrong way Lee, I wasn't trying to sound hostile.
As Michael says let's leave it. (I'm only writing this, so there are no hard feelings).

Are you going to put R2 anywhere on the ship?..... it would be a cool homage to Star Wars. I even saw clips on Youtube where R2 was CG'd into a debris field on Star Trek: Into Darkness. It seems to be a trend that dates as far back as Close Encounters.
R-2 Are you sure your in the right thread?
