Andy Moore Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Bandai's newly released Super Star Destroyer in the slightly ridiculous scale of 1/100,000. Despite the tiny scale, the model is quite large for a release in the Vehicle Model range, measuring about 19cm long, althought the slender design makes it still feel quite small. The level of detail is almost as crazy as the scale - it's hard to believe injection moulding can achieve results like this. Painting was kept on the subtle side to avoid creating an out of scale appearence on something that's meant to be 19 km long. The build can be found here. Thanks for looking Andy 40 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Beautiful work as always Andy. ... Would be nice to see a standard Star destroyer in the same scale for comparison. Dennis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Excellent work indeed! I'm waiting for the 1/72nd scale version. By my calculations that should come out to about 866 feet long. Hmmm, I better start stocking up on paint. Regards, Jason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this scale a regular SD would be about 1.6cm long. I'm sure someone will make a 3D print available on shapeways, if there isn't one already.

saturnapollo Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Superb work. I thought it was reported to be smaller at around 10cm. Built the Star Destroyer and the amount of detail Bandai cram in is amazing! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturnapollo Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Thanks. Pity Baindai or anyone really do not do a big version. There is a two foot version to go with the Armada Star Wars Board Game. Very expensive though. And about time someone released a TIE Bomber. Must be the only Star Wars vehicle never kitted!

Rwa66 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi Andy, That looks fantastic, looks much larger than it is in reality. Beautifully painted as usual. You mentioned using a glaze medium, is this Vallejo 70.596 and do you thin it further with water? Regards Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the one. I don't often add water unless I want the effects to be very transparent. I've just been weathering a truck cab with some dark brown mixed roughly 50/50 with glaze and no further thinning with water, and the effect was fairly transparent while still showing up. That allowed me to build up dirt staining and shading with multiple layers without the effects becoming too intense. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
