Interest thread - 1/72 Naboo Starship

[REL]

I got the gloss black coat on, it's dry to the touch now, but the chroming kit says to wait 24 hours before starting the chroming process.

So where and what kind of chrom plating kit are you using?

 

[Coinprop]

Mirra chrome!?

If its Mirra, it is really great! The best out there in my op!

Great work my friend!

 

[BlindSquirrel]

Will the windows remain black? I don't remember how they looked in the film....

What's the plan for them?

 

[Too Much Garlic]

The ship actually looks cool all black! :thumbsup

 

[REL]

Yep it's Mirra Chrome from Alsa corp. This one won't be lit, the windows will get masked off before I start the chrome so they'll be gloss black.

I forgot I did the topside last night, so I went ahead and chromed the top. I'll take better pics outside in the sun when it's all done, it's hard to see in the lighting here, but it's really shiny chrome.

Oh, baby... :love

That's stunning! I can't wait to see the outdoor shots.

I'd be very interested to know how durable this chrome is. All the chrome sprays I've used in the past are very prone to scuffing and scratching and then when you topcoat it, half the shine goes away.

Holy crap talk about a dud! By this time on my other kits I've gotten dozens of orders and responses, maybe no more SW stuff for me huh? It's ok though since I wanted one really bad and I would've bought one if someone else was making it, so I'm happy. Might be the subject matter too, people seem to hate this ship for some reason. Should I make the other chromers? hmmm, not sure now.

I think once they see it at Wonderfest you'll get more response,slow and steady,methinks.Alexander

 

[REL]

I won't be going to WF now. But anyway like I said no biggie, I wanted one. I also want "Nell" from Battle beyond the Stars, and I KNOW no one will want that one heh.

 

[falcondesigns]

If you have a friend in japan,post there and see what happens!!!:lol And yes,make the other one!Alexander

Please don't stop REL!!! :cry I love your work, just not a big fan of the Starship.

But I'm definitely interested if you make the Naboo Royal Cruiser or Naboo Star Skiff! :love

 

[Carson Dyle]

Really sorry to see that call-sign change.

 

[REL]

The Ep II ship isn't cancelled, but at 1/72 it would have a 50" wingspan, pretty big.

 

[falcondesigns]

Richard,What about a 1/87 or HO scale ship?What would that size be?Alexander

Holy crap talk about a dud! By this time on my other kits I've gotten dozens of orders and responses... SNIP
