Imperial Star Destroyer Randy Cooper

[DJSLY]

Hi to all,

This my new project an ISD Randy Cooper.

The first step, I have consolidated the structure with aluminium profile.

 

[Robiwon]

Nice, you'll never have any resin sag in this build!

 

[DJSLY]

Thanks Robiwon,

you'll never have any resin sag in this build!

Yes, I hope

Really cool build so far. I was indecisive as to if I should build the SD or the Tantive from Randy as my next project and finally I decided to go for the Tantive IV, Randy shipped it out yesterday so the waiting game is on

Will follow your progress with interest as I am sure I will get one of these bad boys sooner then later.

 

[DJSLY]

Thanks CAPTAINCOX,

My next project after the ISD will be the Tantive RC, I will follow your WIP Tantive with interest

I have advanced on the project with the installation of the left side part and lightUp.

This is truly impressive ... I'm going to do a lot of research on Randy Cooper's magnificent Star Destroyer before I even dare touch and begin on my own kit ... I'm gonna need all the help I can get ... so I'll follow your build closely

Beast of a project but I'm sure the rewards are well worth the effort!

Lightup of the bridge.

 

[JediMichael]

Lights always look good. Never tried actual lights. Looks like a lot of work. I don't think I would hardly ever turn the lights on.

General LightUp ended, I began final assembly

Looking good DJ Sly!

All those kilometers of FO will make a big difference once she is finished.

 

[DJSLY]

Thanks opal,

WOW I love the night shots. Must have taken you a long time to do the FO. GREAT JOB!!!!

 

[Tordoc]

Everytime I see one with FO, I wish I lit mine. Great job!!

 

[DJSLY]

Thanks moonbus, Tordoc

I start the paintjob with the primer.

 

[KrangPrime]

I wish I could do stuff like that from scratch.

the best I can do is try and design it in 3D and have someone print it.
And even then because of the nature of 3D, the angles never look right.

The paneling.
