Imperial Customs Corvette Kit Bash

By Viceroy Bolda, in X-Wing

Love it! Turrets look a bit boxy and break up the sleek silhouette of the Customs Corvette, but I love it. Such a sucker for kitbashes in X-Wing

Yeah, box turrets aren't very imp-ish. :P

One person made a generous offer before it could go to ebay. I'll entertain others if they are so inclined, please submit offers by the 25th of July. If the highest price meets the reserve, I'll post that price and allow for counter offers. Please feel free to send me bids via PM.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks again Millennium.

I finished the wiring today. I took some pics in the basement then came back upstairs to paint the base, so that is done.

So the base isn't painted and the ship isn't washed in these pics, but I was just so excited to see it all lit up on the base. Hoep you all can see the crew.

I'm a huge fan of the lighting. And all custom lighting, on all the ships I've seen it on. Looks great, but I think the amber-ish LEDs in the bridge should have been imperial-white, or maybe something with a blueish tint.
Either way, this is a fantastic build.

Hats off to you good sir, that is one **** fine piece of imperial enginnering :D

I can NEVER sell my one of a kind creations.

Can't take it with you when you go, and other people might want to have somethign like this but don't have the means to make it.

I can't wait to see this beast next to the new Raider.

You, Sir, are my personal hero. I love your work!

Heya amazing model, would you mind letting me know which exact revell kit you used as a base?

It's a Revell Venator kit, if I'm not mistaken. You can probably find one on ebay or Starshipmodeler.com

You are correct, sir.

This just in, (not to add to your modeling workload, but) Fractalsponge strikes again!

Not quite sure how I feel about it as a redesign, though. Its appeal was in its forked uniqueness, kinda.

Edited by BenderIsGreat

I could get on board with that.

The problem are bases. I do not have enough epic ship bases/pegs/cardboard.

Imperial convoy to the outer rim.

Wow that's.

That's awful.

Yeah, I dunno. Some days when I look at it, I like it, and others I'm like "oh, boorrrrrrrring."

Aside from the goofy little triangles sticking out at odd angles on the sides, I don't have any real issue with this...

This model fits onto a CR90 base. I had kids and am forced to part with things to pay for diapers, formula, etc.

I had a buyer for this ship at one time, but he turned out to be a deadbeat. If anyone is interested in making me a offer for this model, please PM me.

I'm going to sell my epic ship kitbashes and scratch builds. I'm moving, so I'll sell them to whoever makes me a descent offer. Otherwise they're going in the trash because I don't have the space. PM me if interested.
