Death Star 2 Port Attack Diorama

[OTnROTSfan]

Chris,

It is in 1/144, so using the F-toys (which will be taken apart, lit, modified, and weathered)... MF will be the FM 1-144 one. I have a built Argo, but kinda heavy to mount (and kinda rare, so keeping that separate)...

It wouldn't be too hard - Scratchy's making a Star Destroyer in 1/2222 scale! How long is that Falcon? I can make an X-wing the same scale with it, then recast the fuselage as one piece with glue on wings similar to the Salzo kit. This would be easy enough to recast over, and over for multiples. The detail would be sparse, except where scribed on the wings, and fuselage. Maybe I'll do one to see how hard it is over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Director,

Thanks on the dio. Slowly getting some time on it again.

Those are on under the bench currently... That was the Cooper SD (although the Anigrand one is boxed under the bench, too...). I got all cleaned and deflashed, but that's about it. The MF is an original SMT one... I got the main parts primed. That's too, sitting in a big clear bin right now to remind me to work on it again...

Well everyone... it's been two months. I got put on the lead of a massive work project when I got back from Labor Day. That, and we had to clean up from three recent days of 60+ mph winds. Also always take a break between phases to work on other stuff (note the side project freshly basecoated in the background).

But, Phase 3 has begun... finally!

I decided to do the entire port, after all... will make pictures easier and more robust. Now you see why the top surface will be removable... 40" by 48".



More soon... I promise...
