Which one did you use? I'm very new to painting models and don't wanna use the wrong one, I see several ones on Amazon. This was the one that caught my eye

Got that MC85 painted yet? Not to nag, but I'm very interested 😅

Here is the WIP of the Raddus. Mostly just details left to go.

What color of wash are you going to put on it? 😁

Looks great!

It already has a blue wash, the light where I took the picture was just a bit too much for it to show up.

To continue the slightly piratacle theme of my 3D modeling, I introduce the CD-710 Corellian Heavy Destroyer!

Continuing off Canon, I decided to take a look at Hutt Space. Mainly, how the Hurts maintained control of 1/10 or more of the Galaxy, depending on time period. Hutt Space always seems to be a thing regardless of era. It needs to be more than just the financial power of the Hutt Cartels. Even the Intergalactic Banking clan couldn't maintain that level of influence.

The Hutts need a fleet of imposing capital ships, such that no powerful government was ever willing to cross the Hutts. Enter the Hutt War Barge.

The Hutt War Barge is my own "Head Canon" creation to explain why Hutt space remained devoid of a Large Imperial presence. While the Hutts had no desire to expand , they would need a powerful Capital Ship for defence. Half war ship, and half pleasure cruise shp, the Hutt War Barge allows the Hutt Cartels to control systems, and destroy unautherised pirates. The heavily armored hulls and high starfighter capacity also make a major Imperial campaign against Hutt space far too costly while the Rebel Aliance continues to exist.

Here is the key to the long endurance of Hutt Space. The Hutts want influence in the rest of the Galaxy, but have no ambitions for conquest. The Cartels don't inhibit trade, on the contrary, the offer an ever present neutral third party. The Hutt War Barge is the perfect defense. A highly durable ship, that carries enough weaponry and squadrons to make an unnecessary conflict with the Hutts a costly proposition. It is and always has been easier just to leave Hutt Space alone.

So, without further rambling, I introduce the Hutt War Barge.

Love this. Part Jabba's palace, part Jabba's sail barge. Of course, it might be a bit too Jabba-centric, but the end result looks great, so who cares?

Thanks! As these are the only two examples of Hutt design style shown on film I figured it was a good start point.

This time I decided to skirt the edge of Star Wars Canon.
Based on this drawing that was originally intended to appear in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Incredible Cross-Sections.

Here is my take on the YT-1300 Freight Pusher Module.

As can be seen here the existing YT-1300 model for Star Wars Armada fits snugly into the peg slot and around the center of the module.

My initial prototype is a generic freight module, with other versions to follow.

Very cool!
