I want "only part" of this ship checked!
AMAZING renders! Anyway we can get a close up of the cockpit from the outside looking in? And... I hate to ask you this. With all the additional ESB greeblies... will you add the 15" extension panels?

heh, I like it funky the way it is. I have no interest in "fixing" what we see, but instead, getting inside the heads of the film makers. I guess the thing is, I've seen the movie so many times, I need to build it to get further into it.
I'll try out that render, from the outside looking in, but if I'm not mistaken you're looking for clues on how to skin the exterior of your beast? I'm not sure it'll be much help, I jammed the two models together pretty roughly, just so it would bee in there on renders.
I've added the 15" in my ESB cockpit, but they're all blank at the moment... getting around to them in the next five years or so...
Thanks! I'm really happy with it myself... that's a lot of work right there. The fact that it looks good to people other than me is very gratifying.
Thanks!
thank you!
thanks shaunsheep, keep looking out for more updates!
Thanks! Everything is being built in sketchup v8 (free, not pro) and rendered in Indigo.
You got me... As you know and as I've mentioned in the past, there is a HUGE discrepency between the "window channels" looking from the inside out and the window edges that are flush with the exterior skin... I'm also just very curious how the interior looks from the outside.
Hey S,
Looking at your laundry list of things to do...
Snowspeeder
Twin Pod Cloud Car
Cloud City
Salve 1
Speeder Bike
Imperial Shuttle
A Wing
B Wing
Tie Interceptor
Super Star Destroyer
And of course... a fully detailed 1:1 scale Death Star

I'm saving this stuff for when my beard turns white (either from age or stress, whichever comes first...)
actually, if I can knock out the rudiments of my first laundry list (a basic model of each) I may let myself start on some ESB items... I mean, I've already started with that ESB cockpit conversion, and lord knows, it won't be long before I'm working full tilt on an ESB accurate falcon exterior... god I'm easily distracted... at least this stuff is constructive.

you did see the part where I said No Space Stations?
(though serisously, it's only a matter of time. It has been bothering me that there's nothing outside my docking bay 327 model but open space... you KNOW I'm going to have to photomatch the Falcon's approach to the bay at some point... and then you guessed it... 1:1 Death Star... *sigh*)

LOL! I'm in the office laughing out loud at your 1:1 Scale DS "sigh" comment... Can you imagine zooming in and zooming out? It'll take forever!

Heh heh, yeah well laugh it up, you're the sucker who's gonna have to build the damn thing. 1:1 scale, in your garage...
LOL! Wait... what?

I'll just leave this here with the caption

Salve 1? I didn't know we were dealing with Latin!
I'm sorry, I just had to, for the sake of my Latin teacher. Nice Destroyer Hangar render, SS!

Looks like I've got a new desktop background!

It is times like this that I am not just wowed by your skill, but even more tempted to be a ****** and ask if you'd ever put all those containers on the sketchup warehouse. I am making my own, but I love the variety of using others' as well to fill the bays.
On your blog, I wanted to respond to this, but it is not letting me post anything. "(A word on what I'm considering a ship; any conveyance built as a prop and committed to celluloid, no matter how obscure, that's not a space station.)"
A dewback is a conveyance and was built as a prop (a bantha is a conveyance, but technically a costume, so I can't cheekily throw that out there jokingly as well).
I'd also suggest the McQuarrie X-Wing simply because you could do it a great service.

Hahah, you totally got me there. I did in fact intentionally leave out the Bantha because, like you say, it's technically a costume. But I completely forgot about the Dewback (and while we're at it, there wasn't there a second animal/prop/conveyance parked outside the cantina?) Nicely played.

Thanks man! and, yeah, I'm fond of that detail myself. Definitely reliving old fun with action figures here...
I wonder if in the new Han Solo stand alone films we'll actually see Han get boarded and, just like in Indiana Jones: Last Crusade, if we'll see how Han got his scar?
