Nice. I would love to pick one of these up but they are ridiculously expensive, even for ones missing parts and all beat up

 

[barney five]

yeah, thats right.
but still... its a lot cheaper than the utterly rare and expensive studio scale resin kit. (dont know if its anymore available at all)

with some work and design adjustments on the right spots, the kenner/hasbro can make a nice studio like shuttle, as it has the correct size for it

I seriously wish I could pull this off. All I was able to manage was some paint touch ups and lighting the back engines.

Excellent work in progress barney five ... this particular Hasbro Imperial Shuttle has rounded corners on its wings ... do you intend to add some styrene to sharpen them just like the original Shuttle Tyderium?... see pictures :

do you intend to add some styrene to sharpen them just like the original Shuttle Tyderium?

yes, indeed, thats on my list.
as well as extending the length of the lower Wings.

Great transfos and great results Love the fact that the liquor cabinet is near by...just in case the frustrations would be at level 10

 

[barney five]

please, does someone here know from which donor kits these parts came from ?

the large main part in the middle, and also the two smaller round greeblies on top and below...

Seems to me that the 3 bars were simply Evergreen pieces of plastic added for effect. I don't know about the other pieces; though they look familiar.
