Custom made replicas

[cougar184]

was wondering if there was any interest in custom made star wars replica here. Prefer to build studio scale models but will build most anything to your needs:vaderxmas:

[Kapit]

Whoa, you made all those? Nice work

[cougar184]

thats my work the Xwing is SS and the MF is just about there as well:sidxmas:

[cougar184]

next project on the bench will be a fleet of 38 inch fully lit star destroyers. I have 2 destroyer slots available and should be ready around may if there is any interest:vaderxmas:

[RC-1290]

Oh Wow! Those are amazing! Did you make a mould and then use fibreglass, or some other method?

[cougar184]

at this point anything that I will build for others is in kit form one way or another. the SD that I will be offering will have some animated lights installed so when you turn it off it will look like it was hit by an ion cannon. at this point im just getting into scratch building with plans in a year to build up a 2foot ROTJ Death star. im scratch building at the moment a 24 inch star destroyer and have learned quite a bit.

Nice work cougar! I'm a Star Wars Lego hoor myself, don't hve the time patience or skill to do work on this scale. Beautiful, :censored:ing beautiful!

[cougar184]

Ill be strarting in on a new blockade runner very soon. would you guys be intersted in pics of these models being built up?

[Master Magnus]

Impressive Cougar! I particularly like your Tantive IV (Blockade Runner) model. If only they had made it look right for ROTS...

I know I would!

[cougar184]

Sorry imp just a little more attached to the original trilogy. That’s not to say when I get some extra cash that I will not modify it to ROTS:cheers:

Oh no, that wasn't what I meant. What I said was that I think it's sad that the Blockade Runner in ROTS wasn't made to look more closely to its ANH incarnation (they look like two different ships. I think it's a pity that ILM didn't shoot and digitally modified the original model rather than creating a digital model). Your model looks stunning, don't modify it!

Yes! And do you ever deviate from color schemes for any of the modles out of interest or curiosity?

Yes... all stages of the process would be very cool. :)

[cougar184]

have not on my personal models, but if a client would like a different paint scheme ill do what ever they want

[cougar184]

new project on the bench a 38inch star destroyer. this one will be fully lit when complete. here is just a quick snap shot of the lower hull pieces ill have some great detail pics in about a week I think to show the level of detail on this project. If anyone is interested in having one built for themself send me a PM.

[cougar184]

small update as she comes together. I wont have much in pics the next month on this one going to take some time to carve out the resin and add fiber optics:herebeer:

[Solo]

Looks really nice. :)

[cougar184]

small update.

anyone want one yet

[RC-1290]

Very Impressive! Might I ask what sort of energy those Fiber Optics draw? And Also Where do you get the plans for such models?

[cougar184]

I use 5mm LED for the lights behind the fibers and have those hooked up to a 9V 300ma power adaptor found at walmart. im getting finished with my test bed here and can maybe look at taking a few orders this summer for a 38 inch star destroyer. price with lights will be 1300 plus shipping if anyone is interested. Ill have 3 shots open with 1 pending order right now

[Zedekk]

:drooly:

[Solo]

:) Really nice.

[cougar184]

almost done with the electronics. I have a few more light to wire up and she will be ready for final assembly. looking to have her done sometime next week. if anyone is interested in this build send me a PM for details.

[Horse_Head]

Super Star Destroyer (http://stardestroyerproject.com/SSD.aspx)

It's beautiful!

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Indeed it is, isn't that the one that has been built by one of the members here? Let me see if I can find the thread..............

Edit: This one? http://galacticsenate.com/showthread.php?t=17211&page=3

[Master Magnus]

^I'm not sure, but I truly admire the labor and attention to details of all these projects.
