Hi everyone!
After some two years of owning it, I finally managed to find time to tackle down this modelling project. One of the reasons is a planned home theater that I will make this summer, and it will need a couple of nice looking models to populate it
My end goal is to make this Avenger type ISD to look more like Devastator- therefore antenna and dorsal turrets will need some refitting.
After reading through a lot of builds here, I was inspired to make my model more detailed too, but didn't feel like buying dozens of model kits just to strip of greeblies, and here my trusty Ender 3 jumped in! After some experimenting with small nozzle sizes (0.1 & 0.2 mm) and small layer heights (0.08 mm), I concluded he is up to task of printing small scale greeblies. So I went through my collection of 3D models and after some online searching of freely available ones, I made a collection of good enough greeblies that can speed up the kitbashing process.
For mandatory Tantive IV in hangar, I have micromachines that roughly fits the scale, but I think I will also print one just to see if I can pull out better details.
I still haven't tested 0.04 and 0.02 mm layer height, could give some good results if I dial it in some more.
You can download greeblies for yourself down below. And I saw some of you already found it before I posted it

In addition to greeblies, I made some more aesthetically important parts- like the rings and flaps on engines, and turrets (which are still in testing mode and considered WIP).
This shouldn't be a long build, but it's far from over...

Sci-FI Greeblies LOT Assorted by SandrinoP
I made a collection of assorted greeblies to use for my customization of Zvezda/Revell Star Destroyer model. Used source models are available online for free, I just gathered them and extracted only greeblies.Apart from greeblies, I also made grid array which is supposed to be cut in pieces to...
