That's some impressive scratch building, I strive for the day when I am able to do anything remotely close to that. Was that a Tie Bomber in one of the earlier pics as well?

thanks shenphong, good eye,.... I have two TIE Bombers on the go right now, one studio scale and another with the cockpit with fiber optic, lasers and other details.

How long is it till this will be done?

I suspect that the superstructure will take an incredible amount of time to finish. I think the hangers, equator waistband, bottom hull was relatively quite easy compared to what I'll be doing on the superstructure and all her detail parts. Not to forget the engine section, hopefully this will take less than a year.

It'll be worth it in the end, and just might turn out to be a nice display piece. Thanks for the encouraging words NAZGÛL.

Oh I thought the engine section would be easyer then the bridge or hangar?

The superstructure will take work Im sure, but Im certain youll succeed mate!

Whew! Glad I'm making the Devastator...complicated enough as it is!
 
Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

Thank you for those kind words Harish.

Well, it's official, with the exception of the spires on top of the shield domes and the four small door flaps underneath the bridge, this piece is done. I'll add the other pieces at a later date, I just don't want to damaged them while handling her and repair them later on.

Thanks for following along, now I'll tackle the scribing of the superstructure and start detailing.

Marvelous work Scratchy...looking forward to seeing this finished. I got a styrene sphere for my reactor dome so that should be going on soon...

Thanks TialFiden. Glad to hear that you found a sphere.... that was one of my favorite areas to work on when I did mine:thumbsup
 
Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

Hopefully it isn't too complicated to make, figure i'm going to cut it down to size; then i have self adhesive sandpaper i'll attach to the hull and sand it down to fit.
 
Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

I added the end pieces to the superstructure, I didn't add too much scribing to this area, out of fear that the pressure of the knife blade would break these pieces off. I'll hit it with some pencil lines after it's painted.

I just finished with the scribing, I gave the the superstructure a light sanding with some steel wool, without blowing out the lines, just so they're a little bit more visible for the pics. Once I start glueing on the raised "plate" styrene, I'll add some more that closer resembles what's on the actual model, and I'll touch it up with some pencil lines after it's painted. I improved upon my technique, it didn't take as long as before, it was less work, and the results where better.

Next, I'll start penciling in the placement of the "shelves" along the perimeter and start glueing those on, then I'll concentrate on the tower and detail that area before touching the superstructure details.

very cool...was wondering tho, what is that yellow stuff?

It's tamiya polyester putty, it's a two part putty that comes with a catalyst. It's really nice stuff to work with. You want to mix in small portions because it cures fast.
 
Re: Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

Thanks Julien. Yeah, I would like to see some primer on her as well, just by looking at your work, primer really does tie it all in and eliminates all the pieces and makes it one.
