Awesome...I admire those who take details to such a level. I managed to get my color printer at work to spit out a nice 8x11 of your image...then it was lunch time so I hustled over to the hobby shop (5 miles away) and came out with a fist full of evergreen. I just hope I can get the 3 main bells off without screwing them up. I got the Falcon 3D set and their kinda fragile, but I put them on with the super gel that has a corresponding release agent so hopefully it won't be too tough. A couple treatments of Easy-off oven cleaner and I'll be good to go. I can see this taking at very least a week, but it'll be so worth it. Thanks again for the inspiration Invar thumbsup
Thanks for the compliment. Yes, all greeblies are scratch built - just me some styrene and a No. 11 Exacto blade. Trying to approximate the 8 foot ILM Avenger in spots, but cannot match it exactly at this scale - and the base parts of the Zvezda do not really allow for an exact duplication. So I have to work with where they have raised areas and approximate where certain notable shapes from the ILM model would fit, but I have to confess that as I am going forward I am referencing the ILM photos less and less and just adding surface detail where I see some space. The 1.5 MM height extension does tend to create a 3 or 4 deck look whereareas the ILM model has battleship superstructure parts that fill the trench structure from top to bottom, and I couldn't really do that with the Zvezda without more surgery than I wanted to do.
