Here are a couple more pics of the neck detail and the start of the surface detail to the bridge. I was up until 4am working on it.Dunce [D)] I was very happy with how the waste ejection port on the back of the neck looked after all the bits were added.

Rear view with waste port:

Is Tap Plastic a good source for plastic shapes?


It was from one of the books I'm not sure which one. There are two concepts of this, the one I'm working on and one that has a control section more like the Star Destroyer from some comic book art. As far as Tap Plastic goes I use them for casting supplies or scrap plexi-glass, but they do have acrylic shapes. I had the bottom half of an Easter egg that was the size I was after and found the halves that matched. Now there are eight that are exactly the same (4 top side 4 bottom side)

Very cool idea. I'd like, at some point, to put an entire fleet of Star Destroyers and support ships in a little dio/display. And I'd have to have an Interdictor there. But it would be a small scale, like maybe 1/700 or smaller, just for the sake of room.

Then I'd need to build a Rebel Fleet as well, with Mon Cals and the rest, facing off against the Empire. Oh, the big ideas I have...

Star Wars Interdictor Scratch Build
Posted by maxx1969 on Monday, September 27, 2004 11:13 PM
I decided last night it was time to take a break from some of the projects I have going and start the Interdictor. It scales out the same as AMT/Ertl's Star Destroyer so I could use that as a guide for the upper and lower panels. Here is a look at the size next to the Destroyer. The bulk of this is in .040 Evergreen sheet stock.


The gravity well projectors are acrylic sphere halves from Tap Plastic. You can also see some of the top side layout for the secondary decks and trench that will run from the neck to the front.


And heres a look at the side with everthing in a test fit. The bridge section will have several more layers to it before final assembly.


I keep thinking that at some point I'll have to start chopping up hundreds of tiny bits of styrene for all the surface detail.Dead [xx(] But I guess I can deal with that to add this one to the collection.Big Smile [:D]
