Really nice job on the lasercut ships, just been browsing your instagram. Are they all made from 1.5mm acrylic?

Thanks, mate! Sorry, I must've missed this post. My stuff's a mix of .03" (nominal 1/32"), .06" (nominal 1/16"), and a wee bit of .12" (nominal 1/8") acrylic. I use the 1/32" for detail plates and wings mostly, and the 1/16" (1.5mm) is in fact my workhorse material, like you guessed.

Oh, and geez, that's actually really high praise! That armored YT mod you did is still my favorite YT out there. Absolutely awesome.

Dang, I thought you were making a TIE Scout. That is a cool looking ship.

You ship is actually pretty cool, It was just a let down from what I was expecting.

Heh, I build the ships that are too weird and obscure for FFG to ever produce. The TIE Scout might actually have a chance of being officially made.

Just found this thread via a random Google images search - can't believe I hadn't seen it before. Amazing work!

Your skill with getting this model done is fantastic, no doubt about it. A shame the design itself is so boring and uninspired. Great work on your part though!

Give me this little beauty over the Raider any day.

I'll take both! :D

Hehe, thanks so much, guys! I'm sorry I never updated the pics - never got a chance to finish the engines. Here's where I left off:

Scan it, create a 3D model of it and upload to Shapeways. I'd so order one.

I probably would order one too haha.

Wow! Very impressive work.

Viewing your Instragram I noticed that I had already seen your Aka'jor class shuttle when I was looking for inspiration for building mine's.

Good job!

Really nice work! Looks great!

Thanks, everyone! Hoping to get around to painting that Escort Shuttle that MactossVF1 scratchbuilt for me.

Wow! Very impressive work.

Good job!

Saw this after looking up something completely different, but love the SCT and yours is amazing.

I have been watching your build over the last few Months.

FANTASTIC JOB !

Big Well Done, Acrylic isn't the most forgiving of plastics to work with....I prefer poly carbonate myself, more forgiving but more expensive.

So again great job on the fact you made it with Acrylic.

you can soon tell how good a model is when you hit it with the first coat of primer....brings it to life.

But your paint job is First Rate. you have really done your Scratch Building justice.

Superb.

All the best,

Barry. :D

Hey, thanks guys! Now I just need to actually use it in a game...

Wow this is cool.

I'd love to see some shots of her on the table running and gunning down some rebel scum

Most impressive.
