Studio scale Tantive IV

The Tantive is my favorite SW vehicle next to the Falcon. That build is looking awesome Lasse!! I remember reading your tutorials years back when I first started model building(when I actually had time :)). It's cool to see you on the rpf.

I don't think a lot of people know what goes into building something like this,
even in the small video of the vacuum forming I get tired watching, and it's
just a small part of the whole!:lol:thumbsup

Thanks for sharing the video I enjoyed both,
hope you keep filming the progression on
this!!:thumbsup

Regards,

I spent 7 hours drawing up the plans for the thruster assembly on the model and it looks good. Can`t wait to start building it, it is going to be HUGE!!!
61 cm wide, 35 cm high and 54 cm long. This section will take a LONG time to do....
 
Lasse, on the R.C. Model, it was also the hardest, most tedious part. It's just so involved and practically impossible to keep it all lined up properly when building. I hope you have an easier time than I did with the R. C. :)

I just realized i have to make the entire cockpit section again from scratch. :confused I always felt it was too slim, someting that was confirmed by new documentation. It is marginally larger and it is slightly thicker in the middle. It is the face of the model and it MUST be right....:confused

I used to get so burned when I made a huge error like this and now I realize it's part of the riddle building Star Wars stuff. Getting it right separates the men from the boys.

The "stuff" in these films is simply full of riddles. :sick

Good Luck.
 
Re-making the Hammerhead-section feels good. I have known for a long time that this would have to be done, but lived in "denial" until now. I have the volume with the window and cut-away sections in place already, and it looks a lot better. :)
 
Just to give a short update on this build - i AM working on the new hammerhead section and it will soon be finished. The reason it takes so long is a mix of overtime at my "real" job and a lack of energy :unsure
I will post progress and comparison pics very soon, maybe tonight.:lol
