ROJ DS2 Port Attack
Scratch-Build, Non-Studio-Scale (1-144)
Back on the Horse...
This started as a $25 rack from a local store-closing. After months of analysis, I calculated the scale of the original model to around 1-98. At the time, there were no ships in-scale, so I settled on 1-144. I was an Engineer and a math guy, so this really intrigued me. I also like to do "untried" dioramas. After completing the fully-lit tunnel, it took two years to complete the port itself... and is completely hand-built. The top of the port is removable and hinged access innards. This sat mostly under plastic for a decade. In 2023, work restarted on the top/surface again, potentially for an appearance at Wonderfest 2023 (ROJ 40th)...
Status: In-Progress...
ISD-XS (1-2700)
Commercial/Kit-Bash/Scratch-Build, Non-Studio-Scale
Ongoing Personal Project...
I have chosen my next project starting in 2020... Cross-Section Star Destroyer, based on a picture in the Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections book. At the core is a Zvezda/Revell (1-2700) Kit, which is about two feet long. I am planning to do general lighting, as well as light the "hero" side. Hopefully it will also have my first 3D self-designed and printed parts, as part of this as a prototype and learning project.
Status: In-Progress...

RG1 Hammerhead Corvette
RCM, Non-Studio-Scale (1-250)
I've Got an Idea...
This is a great rendition of the Hammerhead Corvette, from Rogue 1. This ships was one of the fan favorites from the movie. This one also screams for a section of ISD for display, like the core scene from the movie.
Status: Upcoming...

TPM Ani's Podracer
Merlin Models, Studio-Scale (1-8)
Still Drooling...
I got in on the original 2020 release of this monster 3DP kit of Anakin's Podracer from TPM. This thing is a monster of a kit, beautifully engineered as far as the parts breakdown and display options.
Status: Reviewing the painted examples...

RG1 Death Star
Korbanth + Scratch-Build, Half Studio-Scale
On-Again, Off-Again Fun Project
This started as a half-Studio-Scale ANH Death Star Kit, from the original film. Since it had a separate main laser dish, I decided to try and custom-build the inside more to the Rogue-1 scene, where the laser was being mounted and you could partially see the inside.
Status: Playing with a 3DP STL of the main laser...
