I spent most of last night working out a mounting system for the bottom of the model. It works fantastic. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make a side mounting.
When you're a drummer-turned-studio-scale-model-maker, it helps to have a lot of cymbal stands at your disposal...
I just never get sick of a Star destroyer from this angle...
You know this can't stay this way for long...

I've begun work on the docking bays. I was able to cut out the openings in the bottom hull panels. I got a good start on the ceiling and trim around the main bay. Anyone know what was used to make the front wall, double bay doors? If I can't figure it out I will do what I usually do... make it up as I go.

I am making good progress on the main docking bay. It's taking a long time to scratch build most of what's in there. I'm very close to finishing it. This is one of those areas on the model I would like to be as accurate as possible.
In the screen cap below, I've outlined the part(s) I need to make the forward, double bay openings. Does anyone know what that is made from?
Thanks!

Well, I'm still not entirely finished with it, but the docking bay has come a long way. Nothing is glue down yet, you can see tape holding things together for now. Still need to make the 'claw.' I want it to eventually look like it did in ANH.
No one knows what the forward double bay doors were made from, so I decided to be creative. I think it will look better when it is painted.
I found that the docking bay is not an easy thing to replicate. It takes an enormous amount of patience. Eric set the standard with his incredible build. His docking bay was outstanding. I can only hope mine turns out half as good...
She's getting there...

Same here... only that a fraction of a second later another part of me screams "As if you could ever do something as awesome as that". That's when I roll up and cry... usually. :confused
Awesome work!
Slightly off-topic here, but... let's build one together, R2Dan!
We can store it in my flat when it's finished, so...
This thread gives us loads of tasty reference to check on.
Are you AGAIN trying to tell me I'm running out of space!?
