Thats alot of pieces. Are you using the plotter for those horizontal lines?

 

[joeydee]

yes, that pattern is made with the plotter.

Wow, tat really looks fantastic.
Great manual modelmaking! - another example, that 3D printing is not the answer to every modeling question (although it might be useful for some of your parts).
Are you planning on adding lights in some way?
At that scale, fiber optics might be the only possible way though.

I build models to get AWAY from screen

Are you planning on adding lights in some way?

Of course I thought about it. I would have to illuminate the bar sign first, because a dark sign is not excusable while the rest is lit. It was too iconic in the movie.
Doable, but eventually means rebuilding the bar. Leave everything dark and getting it done soon is one option. Add lights, but turning into a neverending project, is another ...

It is so intricate and detailed!

Loving the detail you are putting into this.
What is this plotter that you mentioned you used for making the lines?

Fantastic work. Especially good paint job

I'm using a Silhouette Portrait. The wings and window of this 1/350 scale Tie were made with it, too: Tie Interceptor 1/350 scratch

Very nice. Almost like you read my mind. Next question was going to be could it be used to do the tile grids on a TIE fighters wings. Answered!

That is amazing!

Some progress with the remaining main buildings including the north lock.
Not all parts painted and glued yet, obviously.

It looks great!!!

 

[joberg]

Indeed

 

[Analyzer]

Excellent!

 

[Hagoth]

The detail you are putting into this scale is great. Looks awesome!

 

[alienbuilder]

Very nice! Looking forward how the landscape will look like

 

[Pocko]

Incredible work. I love the cables on the walkway. Using the plotter to score details for the windows is a great idea.

 

[joeydee]

Wind shield progress.

Wonderful stuff and your attention to detail is incredible. How big would a human figure be at this scale? About 5mm? I'd say that's do-able if you know someone with a resin printer.

Thanks. You're right, about 5 mm, and there really are some nice 1/350 resin printed figures out there. But I only have the typical "flat" figures from Tamiya and Eduard atm.

Edit: some crap'n'stuff for the corners, and a Colonial Marine in civvies
