24" Star Destroyer (Avenger Class)
Posted by maxx1969 on Sunday, May 7, 2006 1:12 AM
Here is a quick preview of a commission scratch build I've been working on over the last week. It will have full lighting and all the little detail. I just started the top side and tower so there should be more pics in route soon.

See build progress here

Thank you Chris. As to alot of work, yes it is. I think I will be needing a new pair of glasses after all the fiber optics are strungBig Smile [:D] That and I will probably start setting of the metal detectors at the airport with all the micro drill bits that I broke off in my finger tipsLaugh [(-D]

Thanks again SteveBig Smile [:D] No BR for this one. The client and I discused which SD he wanted and he decided on the more detailed Avenger class. Who knows though maybe a tiny itsy bitsy Falcon to hang out on the back of the tower.

I keep getting distracted with these contracts, makes it hard to finish anything for myself. I pulled it out and hope to finish it. All it needs is a little more surface detailing and paint. But then there are these other ideas rolling around in my head so I'm not sure if I might just redo the whole thing but a little bigger. Just don't know...

Sweet Zombie Jesus! Wow!! [wow]

I thought it looked  great before.  But now, after seeing it all painted nicely and washed....  Words escape me beyond the initial reaction...

I hope you were well-rewarded for your work!  I'd have been reluctant to let that one go, Matt!
