bar side Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Rediscovered a Metal Earth etch kit of an Imperial Star Destroyer the other day. I think I put off making it as the previous kit had tested my eyesight! The previous one was an R2D2 kit from the same company. Made a nice change from my usual 1/48 aircraft kits. Anyway here they are Star Destroyer And the Droid Thanks for looking 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Very nice, thanks for sharing! I'm quite a fan of these little Metal Earth models, they're something different and they look pretty good. I have three, the Star Destroyer, Kylo Ren's shuttle and the Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Cheers Vlad. I was given a steam loco a while back, then three Star Wars sets. Still got the AT-AT to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They test your eyesight! They are very well designed and are all tabs pushed through pre cut slots & then folded over. You can see them in this shot of the inside. Very fiddly and not quick - but having said that nothing to paint or glue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 That Star Destroyer looks ace - how big is it? Are they 1cm square on your cutting mat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are. It is just over 10cm long. Doesn’t take up too much shelf space. Unlike the 1/48 C-130 in the loft.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
