The holes are actually a bit more mundane than that. It's just a requirement of the printing process for venting when the model is printed and cleaned. The excess material build up and the like needs ports to get flushed through (it's a kind of printing wax used during the printing process, is it not?), so the gaps are necessary on all non-solid models.

Needless to say the model renders look bloody fantastic, Mel! I do wonder how it'll be in that grainy 'WSF' material. Hmm, guess I'll need to do some more commissions and built up some hobby funds for one. Though I still need to finish the last half of my own little SSD/Mod. Bleh.

Can anyone point me to whereever the X-Wing Crossover was discussed? That would be great.

I had really good luck revitalizing the details on my white strong and flexible Venator, by light sanding on large panels, and scraping the grooves between the panels with a dental pick. It may take a week, but I will do the same with that SSD. Hopefully next month.

In my experience models this size dont look bad with a fuzzy material. For example this is WSF:

25.56 inches long not a bad size.

everytime this thread makes it back to the first page a puppy dies.....

Pointing that out contributes to puppy deaths, then.

It was already on the first page when I posted it

NOT TO FIFTY!!!!!!

So, Mel it's not available in the "good material" yet?

It wont. Its too big for the machine. I would have to slice it in four or five parts.

Ok, nevermind, ive managed it.

Wait....you mean....we can get the Super Star Destroyer in Ultra Frosted Detail....?

*wallet trembles*

I'm waiting until it hits the Shapeways Webstore...

I want to see people weep ...

I wish someone would buy it and then give it to me, because I want to paint it.

Ugh. 475? Are you going to have coupon-day or anything?

Lord Ashram if things go well I might be getting a Super Star Destroyer and it be sooner than later.

Idea's are flowing thru my head about what I could do for gaming.

It's not set in stone yet but if it happens I might be the only one in my area who'll have one.

Now they just need to develop the rules they can all agree on

Gratz Mel that looks amaze balls, if the cad dollar didnt suck so much right now I would definitely be looking at it closer. Although I do hold hope that ffg, might, might eventually make us one hopefully they would follow your lead and not be any smaller that yours

I do look forward to what kind of rules the community comes up with, having followed this thread from the beginning I think some really good ideas have been put forth. (Sorry truthiness, I actually like this thread

^{Sorry Truthiness this needs to be on page one}

^LOL

Until some buys one molds it and casts it in resin for $100 or so. its out of my price range, but its a nice bit of work.

Mel, when you get time, could you post some more precise dimensions,

Distance from bow to widest point:

Keyhole locations:

I need to work through some base options, and I need to get a visual of how it will sit on one of my 3 options.

It seems to me rather interesting (given that the real Executor prop was just over 3 times the length of the Devastator prop) that this is just over 3 times the length of the ISD model.

For appropriate level of power in Armada - I'd say this thing needs to be roughly a match for 3 large ships - 3 reasonably tooled up large ships, with a good commander, launching a coordinated attack.

That would fit well with the power ratio between an ISD and 3 Corvettes in this game. Which have the same issue of the "real thing" being about 1/12 the length of the ISD, but the in-game model being about 1/3 the length and 1/3 the combat power.

My thinking is upping "Epic" games to a minimum of 600pts, and giving the SSD a point value between 300-and 400 points, depending on armaments and upgrades.

I agree that the same way the Corellian Corvette is overpowered compared to an ISD, this shouldnt be as powerful as a Super Star Destroyer should be.

After all it should be like having 3 star destroyers on the board. I think it should have two parts (the way the Epic ships in X-Wing do) and if one part is destroyed it should be limited but not cancelled.
