Hey guys, for those that visit the X Wing forums, you probably recognize my work, but I'm starting the transition to Armada. It started here with this ISD - It's just such a beautiful and iconic ship that I needed one. And as I was working on it, I grew sad that it wasn't ever going to see the table top, and started thinking about where I was going to display it - even thinking about bringing it into work to do so... And then I finished it up, and even though I have an X wing C-ROC ready to go, I really wanted to work on some more Armada ships. So I think I'm addicted now. I have a Interdictor on my workbench, and the core set on order from MM.
But anyways, here is my ISD.
Originally, I was planning on lighting the hanger portion as well, but I quickly found that I was running out of space. I put tons of fiber optics on the top command deck, and then realized that I had to carry that out throughout the entire ship. No regrets though, I think it looks better like this that it would have with less lights and a lit hanger. Plus it made using the hanger for the on/off and recharge ports super easy. I did have to bend the hull slightly to get the edges back closed, that's how much stuff I crammed in there, but I can't even tell that even though I know that's the case, so I doubt anyone else will be able to tell (except for all ya'll because I just told you).
