I have the honor of introducing another great artist to this Gallery…. extremely talented modeler known as CessnaDriver! His build of the Sci Fi Dynamics Star Destroyer is absolutely the best paint work I have seen on one of these to date! It is so realistic that I immediately picked a photo from his original shown photos on the Resin Illuminati and RPF Forums to make as a Composite piece (to be shown soon.). His incredible detail work is outstanding and features much quality that can be viewed in his close-up photos.
Here is what master modeler CessnaDriver has to say of this fine piece…
I included the little shuttle pic as technically it was part of the kit. (amazing details in itself given it’s tiny size). And of course the Anigrand Tantive IV is nestled in the bay even though this kit is far more like Avenger from ESB rather than Devastator from ANH, but I couldn’t resist.
I used spray can Krylon Primer 1318 for a dark base undercoat, then model masters light gray FS96495 for the hull with airbrush and slightly darkened same for the paneling work.
This was a very well designed kit with few surprises with minimal cleanup.
The base was made from edge molding from home depot Gorilla glued to the sides of plywood. Custom cut and drilled mirror, and acrylic rod with clear rubber pads. I never made a base before like this and it turned out almost as nice as something Master Replicas might have made. Maybe some other modelers will find the method useful.
Thank you!
