YT1300 Freighter

[Benjamin Arendt]

Hey everybody, I was told, that I can participate in this GB. I am kind of advanced with my build, so here is it.

I am using the Fine Molds Kit and the PE from Acreation. Lighting and stuff is build by me. I am just showing some of the pictures, feel free to visit my photobucket for more progress pics.

And finally, did some chipping and washing... not finished yet, some cleanups to do.

This is the current situation

Enjoy...

Fantastic build

 

[Underlord]

I LOVE how you did the cockpit lighting! If I have troubles putting my fiber-optics into the neck I'll consider something like this. VERY nice! Is that printed directly on plastic, or decals? Inquiring minds want to learn from the master!

... wait... just went through your photobucket pictures and learned it's PHOTOETCH!? BRILLIANT! Put away the Duff beer and have yourself a Guinness!

I humbly bow to the master... and beg to see MORE!!

Man, that paint scheme just screams 'Old Republic'! A stunning build, so far!

Love this build.
I like how you've made it your own

 

[Joseph Osborn]

Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about...

Outstandingly brilliant! Liking the colour scheme, and that cockpit is something else!

Looking forward to more.

 

[Grendels]

[Benjamin Arendt]

I also started a little Base, a bit Tatooinish...

First draft:

This one is dismissed... second and good one:

Current situation.. cleaned up some of the stones and added some left-over-Starship-pieces...

 

[Chiefpettyofficer]

Wow, good gork on that YT-1300. I like it. I also like your base.

 

[Hodges]

That ship looks unbelievable!

 

[Quaralane]

Nice work on the base. Looks like a good choice

 

[astroboy]

Great WORK!

I'm VERY impressed by the cockpit. I tried to get that photoetch set to work for me but it just didn't happen. I didn't see how the low side walls fit with the back ring section.

Mind you, I figured out a combo of the photoetch stuff and the stock parts that I'm happy with

 

[Solander]

Excellent job here!
Everything, like photoetched cockpit, cool paint-scheme and the superb base is really fascinating.
Waiting for further updates

 

[Igard]

That's cool!!!
