Super Star Destroyer (Scratch Build) Introduction

Well, it's finally that time. after many many weeks of prep work and getting the right dimensions for proper scale, I'm ready to start the Ultimate Super Star Destroyer. When complete it will measure nearly 5' long. The process I'm using is as follows:

Wood Framework for the outer hull and inner support structure with raised resin details cemented on to give it the proper texture. After which I'll fully cast the top "triangle" and the bottom seperately in fiberglass, and addition super structures will be done in both fiberglass and resin molds. The wood will be desposed of and Clean up will start. Flash around the edges will be cut and sanded down and the fiber obtics will be put in place. The wood support structure will still be utilized to build the two outer shell pieces around for additional strength. Further surface details will take place after that. Check for updates and first pictures of process!

Enterprise ST: (II - III)

Because I'm home so infrequently, I decided to rush as much crude detail onto this ship as possible in the last 24 hours or so. I sealed it all up, with the exception of the nacels which stay on very well without cement, provided you don't knock it over. From afar, the ship looks stunning, battle damaged and all, but I decided to go for the battle damaged look because it allows me to use pencil marks on the hull and brings a really good sense of scale to the model. Just don't look too close... I have another one in the mail, and eventually, I'll tackle doing a cleaner version. Still, there's much to be done with this one before she's finished. Enjoy the pictures of my current progress. 





The Desired Look:


Getting there...  The sad part is that I still have five more cans of spray paint that I know I will have to use before I'm fully done with this kit. There's too much space on this model for detail!

Jason of Clay

My first or second time tooling around with Clay. I think it came out alright.


Enterprise Model Kit

I first started working on this kit back in late 2007. It's taken me a while to find the time to start this and my other projects back up, but I'm finally back at it. More updates coming.

Part 2: detailing the deflector dish housing and neck.
