Re: A storm is coming!

Damn you, Lee, I'm getting praise fatigue! I'm running out of new ways of saying nice things. Stop it! ;p

Martyn, im just fatigued :lol Im really into things now though, having fun, and when im having fun, im productive, at least, slowly productive lol.
The plating wont be fully accurate, ive gone a bit more generic i guess, but trying to get notches and apertures as they should be.

Cant wait to get all major plating on the hulls and lower plates now, as then, i can stop making such a mess of my work bench with the dremel and get a bit more clinical.......Guy, cheers buddy!

Re: A storm is coming!

Looks like really tricky work. You must have to cut curved lines in the styrene sheets just to make them look square when on the hull. Looking great!

Re: A storm is coming!

Exactly Scott, im cutting, from the spare hull pulls, but even then, the shift needed in placement on the panels (the outer skin being larger than the primary hull), then causes a few more headaches and adjustments in curvature, very tricky,messy and.....fun lol.

Re: A storm is coming!

It's looking very nice, Lee. Someone shoulda thought to make armor plate pulls over the top of the body pulls.

Actually I didn't keep my eye on this thread becuase I didn't know that the Storm meaning Rebel transport...

Your work is gorgeous and perfect...:thumbsup

I think that could have been the fix Allan, but seeing as ILM have split the dorsal keel line too, id guess they did the same thing, much of this keel, is patched up with spare plating to my eye, so the overall effect will be achieved i think.

Eric, thanks buddy, i wouldnt say perfect lol, this is pretty much my first delve into something so extravagant and large, so many new challenges for me!

Re: A storm is coming!

Almost completed the basic plating on the upper hull, plan is now to get the few remaining large overlays done, then get the belly plates ready.

From there, i have to get to the several thousand strips, chips, notched squares, and scribing, its exhausting lol.

The uppermost access pit is a ways off (too forward), sadly i could not correct this, all the access pits, should they be cut in wrong on the primary hull, really become apparent when fitting the plating....ouch :lol

Re: A storm is coming!

Nick if you were to do this build, id pack up my gear and quit, as you would blow me clear out the water, ya clever so and so :lol Love to see you tackle it though buddy, shoe me how its done.
As i said before, i cant take credit for the profile, thats Allans pure skill providing that lol.

Jason, thanks man, she's still a bit rough draft, but slowly getting there, i just dont have the energy lately to go balls out lol.

Michael, thanks bro, and the rest of you guys i call my peers, im humbled you all like thus far!
