Studio Scale Slave I

Hello. I'm not sure this is the right section to post this. I'm making a studio scale Slave I, using the same kit parts as the original filming model. When the master if finished I'll be making molds then casting the parts in fiberglass and resin to make a lighted model.

Here's where I am so far.

Thanks

HOLY SHMOLY!!!! That completely ROCKS!! I'll definitely have to get me one of those!!!

****, thats nice work so far

WOW THATS COOL!!!!!!!!!!! I mean...holy moley!!! And it huge too!!!!!! can't wait to see more progress on that bad boy!!!

I've been looking at this on the RPF...and man i want one.

Wow! That is absolutely awesome so far! Did you hand etch the hull lines?

I've been watching this over on the RPF
Just amazing

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!

Have a couple questions..

1-How do you know what original kits did they use?

2.- Once you finish it. Will you sell the kits?


Thanks

Regards and Merry Christmas

Richard! You're here. Of course, I've also been following this over on RPF and the RI. Can't wait to see more!
This would display so well next to my Falcon.

I love the size of the model! I normally don't collect studio scale models, but this has definitely caught my eye. I hope you'll also figure out a way where this can somehow be propped up and displayed without putting any structural strain on the model.

Thanks everyone.

Update.

one word: WOW. that is simply stunning sir. can't wait to see the final product.

Thank you, almost finished with the body.

Totally cool....
I want one too...

uggg.....That is just so stunning!!!!!! Can't stop looking at it!!! Please keep posting progress pics Rel !!!!

amazing! hope you make kits man!

Hey Rich, glad you bought this over to the good folks at TDH, as I said over at the RPF incredible work!!!

Stunning work, I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of this. Thanks for sharing this.

WOW! That's great! How did I miss this before now!

Been following this thread at the RPF.

Amazing work man.

Sign me up!!!

Nice work!

Did you use the Entex pieces or scratch build them?

I've never invested in a scaled Star Wars model before, nor do I typically track scaled models. However, this would be a very cool first for me. If you have a way of displaying it to where it can anchor itself very securely onto a very simple and elegant display system which in turn can sit on a pedestal or table top (and can withstand a few shakes without tipping over and go crashing to the ground) I'd be very interested, depending on price of course (and room in the apartment), but very interested nonetheless.

This project just has so many levels of "cool" to it I can't begin to count. Thanks for doing this. It's projects like this that make us believe and dream. 8)

I used the Entex pieces.

I got the skirt joined together. Here's my wife holding it.

Man! That's bigger than I thought.
Any rough estimate on the overall length of the ship?

What do you think these will be selling for once your all done?

just so i can "try" to budget to save for one of these.

If you have not thought about it already, maybe consider doing one for the JB project?

Definately interested in one if these do become available! Amazing work!

Sorry it's been so long since an update but I've been very busy with other stuff.

The body is ready for molding now.

this needs to be bumped and hopefully rel will be able to stop by here and tell us more!

Hell yeah, Ill be getting one of these, thats freakin awsome, well done.

Hello again. I've finished molding the body, and here's the first casting out of the mold. I've trimmed and primered it. I'll have pics of the skirt by Monday. This is cast in polyester fiberglass using a gelcoat surface.

Thanks

Well I better save up some $$

As I said on the other board, this may just get me back into modeling. You've done an awesome job with this!

wow. just wow. i need one

Here's the first casting all primered.

Wow, that looks amazing Thanks for the update.

Wow. That's so cool... Can't wait to see the finished product.

I may have missed this in the postings, but do you plan on selliing casts?

I want one.

That looks amazing! Great work.

Any more progress on this?

He hasn't been on since 5-29. I wanted one of these.

I saw over on the RPF that he had cancelled the project.

Huh.....did he mention why????? Dang those were looking cool!!!!

I read someone else may pick off where he left off... BUT he may be back to it cause reworking some new parts, got him excited to work on the project again... so who knows??

it may still be a go.

thanks for the update guys. I hope he gets back to it, this was looking awesome.

im not sure how i missed that one one before.. but that project is just plain cool!!!

man some people have talent

Yo any more up dates with this hella cool Slave 1 ?

i heard the project had been scrapped

I can't believe someone would get this far on a project of this size and quality and just scrap it. I guess real life gets in the way sometimes; but I can see putting it on the back burner or on hold or something, but scrapped all together?!?!

i hope it's not scrapped i would love to buy one
