Imperial Customs Corvette Kit Bash

By Viceroy Bolda, in X-Wing

Is it just me or does it look like this ship is being crewed by Kraftwerk?

Yep and their Robot

Cool, Kraftwerk ^^

I planned it that way. :rolleyes:

Let me say that your Customs Corvette is pure awesomeness.

It makes me wish that FFG comes up with a ship like this for the epic battles.

Some updates on the command center. On the deck is the captain, the helmsman, the navigator, the science officer, and communications officer.

Still have some touch ups, but mostly finished and ready for the glass.

So you sure you didn't mean to type Singer, Keyboardist, backup keyboard, Theremin player and Drum machine operator?

Nerd...

:lol:

Thanks. beedee beedee beedee.

Buck Rogers?

The left engine has the frosted shade over the bulb. The other two engines reveal the tinfoil reflectors. All three will be shaded.

Excellent

The turrets are not permanent fixtures yet. I would like to utilize those tiny little magnets that some of yall have used. I just want them to be able to rotate. Where to get those magnets?

Engines are installed. "Ludacris speed, GO!"

"What was that?"

"It was Spaceball 1."

"They've gone plaid!"

I am the Mel from the Mel Miniatures. If you ever need some other piece done (like the shield generators on top of the bridge) or the turrets in a particular size, or whatever you can think, i would be glad to do them for you. This thing looks wonderful.

Whew...

:blink:

It ain't BIG Nuff Bolda!

:o :huh: ^_^

Say, how did I miss this recent update?

:lol:

Mel and Joe,

Here is one just for you guys. I'm not done with the details on the rear wings yet. Mel, do you recognize the lower turret section? I like your work. I ordered some of your proximity mines and they are very fun. I used the proximity mine template from the Firesrpay and made foam bases which I can remove from the mine mini during transport. Fighting in a minefield is hella fun. I saw that you made a Cylon Raider and Viper too. Very cool. Your Houndstooth is in testing. Will it be available in 1:270?

Thanks for looking.

:)

Ok, ive done a few parts that you might be interested in. The Shield generator, a Turret that looks more like the one a Star Destroyer has and a Sensor Array.

You can have them in this links:

or in groups to make it cheaper

And here a little size comparison

Im currently improving the Hounds Tooth to make it more detailed (right now is just easy geometry). Soon it will be uploaded and it will look much better (although it will be expensive as hell because of the size)

The Hound's Tooth is now updated :)

Worked on the corvette a little today while watching season 4 of BSG.

Just a little something to keep Joe happy.

That is going to a darn fine ship! Could you post a pic with a TIE fighter for scale? I have toyed with an idea of kit-bashing a BSG Vyper and using it for some bigger ship in X-wing.

I'll admit I was dubious on the first page.. but it's looking really good now.. Bravo.

Pocoloco,

Here is an earlier progress photo with a tie for scale. If you do kitbash, please share pics. I enjoy seeing other people's work on that kind fo stuff.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for the kind words. :)

Moving forward. Still have a lot to do. The wiring is not finished, the belly is unfinished, turrets aren't attached, etc.

I ordered a pair of Mel's dish arrays for the tractor beam.

She's got a base. She's air born!

Still have plenty to do. Here is the fleet assembled.

After the guns were installed.

Those look amazing.

Thanks Stelar.
