WIP Cooper Star Destroyer with Fiber Optics

[edge10]

Are you removing the detailing to make accurate with the movie miniature?

 

[barney five]

yes.
thats the plan.

starboard bridge panel is completely different than port side on the movie miniature, so i will try to replicate that look as good as i can.

 

[barney five]

this detail part doesnt protuded enough from the surface, so i need to bring it out a little more, by around 4 millimeters...

 

[barney five]

small detail from scratch

 

[barney five]

on the way

recreated the mobelwagen part

 

[Haui]

you are crazy

 

[INVAR]

He's a man after my own heart.

 

[barney five]

phenomenal

Invar, your Zvezda build is one of my great inspirations!

unbelievable how you manage to create such small details at that scale.

i mean, the Cooper Kit is a good amount larger, and i already go desperate and mad all the time working with these damn small greeblies.

Well, when you surgically graft a lighted headset magnifier to your skull and work at 3.5X - it's amazing what tiny details you can carve up out of styrene. Of course bouts of arthritis in the finger joints don't help - but hey - Zvezda didn't make their kit back when I was young and virile! Of course right now that the greebs are done, I am stuck in threading fibers hell.

Kudos to what you have to go through with the Cooper Kit. I'm not brave enough to dive into resin. I'm just now cutting my teeth on lighting.

Thank you Invar
i give my best

i think at some point i will try out your idea with the magnifier goggles headset sounds good!

[Analyzer]

Amazing details!

 

[INVAR]

Outstanding!

 

[gedmac66]

Jaw dropping !...,
Boy, both INVAR and your good self certainly keep raising that ‘unobtainable’ bar for us mere mortals

 

[barney five]

thanks for the nice compliments guys

 

[barney five]

next thing to improve...

i decided to break off the thruster rings and try to reduce the massive wall thickness of the resin engine bells

 

[Duncanator]

Really great work! Nice job adding the details, especially rebuilding the nose.

 

[barney five]

Thank you Duncanator
