Scratchbuilt Jabba's Sailbarge / Khetanna custom Toy and Model WIP

Thank you guys for the feedback and comments!! It always makes me very happy to reads through it ;) ...just wow to get so much positive feedback over here! I still feel like a noob around ;)

Next update will be soon....It really comes along nicely.

I can only find stainless steel ones. Wouldn't they not be able to be painted then??

Thanks

Tom

Hey Tom,

I always bought the most cheap ones made by Tenson (E-Bass strings) They say they are nickeled? Anyway...they can be primed with no problem. The color chips of easily though...but I will use this maybe for the "used" look??

Regards

Wolff

This is really getting along fast.
First up I decided to cut off the front part of the cockpit. Otherwise I would be in real trouble painting it. So it's now detachable with 4 screws holding it in place:

Finished the cockpit by now. The seat is an homage to the vintage AT-ST. The lever to the middle broke twice by now so it was replace by a metal lever. Some additional cables and the foot area was also completed:

After that I wanted to do the front part. Some screens were added. Some acrylic with scratched in forms does the job very well:

Now on with detailing this part of the cockpit:

I saw that immediately, I have that model, you got it spot on :D

The cockpit looks great; I can almost feel how hot and dusty it would be, driving this beast across the deserts of Tattooine..

Amazing stuff and as others have said you are selling yourself short, this is model making of the highest calibre!

The cockpit is now finished....well nearly. It is missing one more LED with glas fiber illumination for the arm panels. No material yet, so I will do this later.

I also primed the nose. Sadly my last rattler got empty while doing this, but it's nearly done.

Thanks for the replies guys! :D ...I hoped for more feedback on the primed and built in cockpit, but well.... maybe it slipped through ;)

Starting with the middle part.
First up are some greeblies to finish the look from the side:

Next up was the break through for those hatches. These will be closed with some grills. Figures cant go through those hatches, so I am useing them to give some rooflight to the bar below.

Below I needed to do the walls and ceiling for the bar part which was actually added at a later point to lengthen the ship. I also noticed some inaccuracy to the door from inside that needed to be fixed...a lot of extra work sadly:

To finish the inner of the barge the bar also needed some floor paneling.

Almost done. The inside with sanded panelling to the walls, floor and ceiling:

Indeed ... I'm just in awe ... and even the rate that this build is going again ... keep at it ... can't wait to see the weathering paintjob :)

I totally agree with Sym-Cha. I love the look of primer, and I know this level of detail takes many many long hours, and I realize this still has a long way to go ...so I just have to wait patiently for the color and weathering to be applied. It will be worth it. :cool :cool :cool
