Assembling the fleet.

Excellent!

Gorgeous! I'd love to try building one of these(or preferably buy one if you are ever able to cast 'em). Where'd you get the files you used for the template?

Nice! Got any ideas for in-game usage?

Stunning!

Very well done. Really awesome ship (even for the whole prequel thing ).

From what information I could gather the cruiser is quite slow, but very well armored and has decent shields making her a hard nut to crack for pirates. I will have to design a suitable base and stat cards for this one but that should not be hard. I already have an idea that I will make the movement dials out of hardened balsa wood and paper with a heavy coat of varnish. that should be a good medium for the project.

As far as casting these, I will d not endeavor to break copyright laws; it is just not worth it. However the cruiser is a very handsome ship and I hope FFG takes notice of my build and develops one for the game. it has nice curves and would be easy to replicate.

My guess is that even though these ships were used during the clone wars, being a sturdy ship she would still be around during the rebellion.

My custom fleet so far.

My hat is off to you, my good sir. This is an amazing ship and doing two of them at the same time is even more amazing. And to be honest, I would like to see FFG come out with other factions like Pirates, Hutts, Black Sun, and others.

Started my version of Kath Scarlet's Firespray.

Very impressive, Obi Wan has thaught you well! oh wait you did it all yourself, even more stunning ;-)

Gozanti nose art, it reads BAD ONE in imperial alphabet.

I'm not really that learned in anatomy but her nose is NOT what I'm focussing on...

Amazing work!!

Thanks I wish I had the eyes I had 10 years ago

Just wondering, what tools and pieces did you use? This way if someone decides to try your method it'll be some guidance on what to use.

I basically used 2d drawings as my templates the build materials are standard styrene card stock and rod. I also used a punch and die set,hole punches, exacto knife set, micro drill bits. A square, compass,calculator for scaling. Various sanding sticks,squadron white putty. I tried to include pictures of all the tools if you look closely at the progress shots.

My shuttle repaint, breaking up the monotone.

That definitely works. The streaking looks really good. Are you doing it by hand or using some other technique.

The falcon is all by hand using oils thinned with white spirits to give the streaking using burnt umber oil paint. The black markings are Tamiya weathering set. The Shuttle was done the same with Subtle grey shadows completed with an Airbrush and masks to give a slight gradient effect to the white paint. Very simple but I think it makes it look better overall.
