Hi there.
I know i barely post here, and have never produced anything of merit, but i do lurk and watch progress threads etc. I hope I can be forgiven for not doing anything, I am short on both time and money what with studies et al.
Well onto the point. I have been looking at the techniques used to build studio scale models, like the Star Destroyer and so on, and have picked up on the "kit bashing" technique used by the designers at ILM in the 70's and 80's.
*MAIN POINT - YOU CAN SKIP THE ABOVE*
So I thought I would like to design my own ship, using the same kit bashing technique (under, undetailed "3D Canvas", and then kit parts). But what kit parts to use? What scales are best, what types of models have the most parts? You get the gist. Any advice for a novice would be greatly appreciated.
