Well I've started a new project. I am scratchbuilding an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer. It is 1/2256 scale, the same as the new Republic Star Destroyer from Revell. So far I have an internal frame structure built and the lower hull skin attached. The ship is about 28.5 inches in length. I will be also constructing two Venators painted in Imperial grey for a display I hope to have finished by Wonderfest next year. I will be making a display of Imperial strength a little after the establishment of the Empire. I chose the Imperial-I class as it would be the newest type at that time. Just so you know the Imperial-I is the Devastator for the opening shot of Ep IV. So it will have the triple baffles on the engines, the tilted communications array and a slightly different hanger and superstructure configuration. I should have some initial construction pictures up tomorrow.
Hey nathan, good luck on that one
There's not much to see but it looks like a pretty good start!
How big is the model? From the pics i'd say about 75 cm?
Looking forward for the next updates.
It's about 72.39 cm or 28.5 inches in length. I'm going to start with the bottom hull getting the hangars in and the keel plating working. This is going to be a large single point mount so i will be putting it slightly aft of the reactor bump.
