Saber Class 1/1000 scratch build

[frostrubin]

Fresh from the print bed of my Ender 3:

Panels and details like phaser ect. will scratched build and added after the parts are sanded and primed.

Saucer parts first sanded with 150 grid paper. Then sprayed with filler and sanded again (400 grid).
They are now ready for detailing....

...and to remove the supports.

Phaser banks plates and lifeboats on the underside are done.
Also remove the support material, so I can drill and cut the windows.

Drilled 2 holes for each window.

Then thined the walls from the inside. That makes the cut out of the windows much easier.

All windows done and start detailing now:

Great start already! As I said before, a physical model looks so much better than CG.

Thanks.


A quick test fit of the sensor decals…

The navigational deflector looks great! You're really coming along nice on this build.

What filler primer are you using? Is the print material PLA or ABS?

I may not be a huge fan of the design (the placement of the nacelles bothers me) but your build is awesome.
