Outstanding, I love that fighter, too bad the T65's in the movie didnt look like that, I love the engine half shells. I've been wanting to build this in 3D, but I could never find good ref pics other than Ralph's amazing rendering. Are you working from blueprints or diagrams, or just wingin' it?
Top notch, will you be offering a kit of this for sale at some point?
Thanks everyone. I'm making this based solely on that one painting, he did other paintings but the details aren't the same and the shapes are different on each one, so technically it's not the same one, which makes sense as they were just concepts when they were trying to hash out the design.
I'm pretty much trying to replicate the shape itself and all the details I'm making up as I go.
Absolutely stunning work. I love this ship, too bad we didn't see it in a prequel... I was not impressed with most of the hardware in those entries. But this? You cant beat McQuarrie's designs, and your execution is masterful.
how do you do the weathering? is it just masks and an airbrush?
that's just one way to do weathering. it is also possible just to use a pencil and some cotton wool to achieve the same results on a less permanant footing (filming, and so on), but i also would like to know what method you used here, if you don't mind?

The detail on the pieces looks great!
Is that the hyperdrive on the end cap by the way?
Are there any other references except for this pic?

I'm making the concept R2.
I made the engine can from vac forming multiple layers to get the desired thickness.
The engines were made from vac forming over pvc pipe, the thrusters are from the F4 Phantom kit.
...gran trabajo amigo!!

I agree the copit lighting is certainly a sign of craftmanship that most don't seem to have anymore
