neron-fx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Hi all, So I have been busy on and off over the last year or so and finally managed to complete this fabulous kit. Before I get to the pics, a few quick hat tips to important folk. Hat tips to: Madmonk for his fabulous lighting kit Michael Fitchenmayer for his amazing weathering tutorials Foxx from Modelmaking.guru for his dry-brushing with oils tutorials Paul over at International Scale Modeller for his panel scribing video and his generally very useful channel over on YouTube. And now to the pictures! Feedback and thoughts very welcome. This is only my 4th ever build and so there is plenty of room for improvement, but I am quite proud of how she has turned out.

Gimme Shelter Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 superb work - a delight to inspect - hopefully with the new star wars film on its way, we shall see a good selection of new models or older moulds being reissued to avoid those high prices on the auction sites. Note to Father Christmas - Dear Santa, please can I have an Anigrad Star Destroyer model this year ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 That turned out very nice, looks like you had little trouble with the lighting then? Cheers, Warren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neron-fx Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 That turned out very nice, looks like you had little trouble with the lighting then? Cheers, Warren That lighting was an absolute dream mate. It was a bit fiddly, particularly in the cockpit area and round the mandiles. However, that was more down to the small scale of the kit rather than the lighting. Instructions were all top drawer and made sense. Only thing worth mentioning was the cables were very long for such a small kit. I ended up chopping them down and then soldering them back up at a shorter length. No biggie, just thought it was worth mentioning. Cheers, Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neron-fx Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ok, so being a complete and utter geek, I couldn't help but wonder what she might look like in the movie itself. Alas, JJ Abrams hired the wrong dude for the miniatures on the new films... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
