So here I wait for the post office to deliver something 6 hours from home over 5 days. My much needed package from Voodoo FX! It has all my lights in it for the engine bells and more. Still I wait.
But in the meantime I found some more warm white LEDs and started adding more pepper of tiny windows to the hull. However after looking at the actual Star Destroyer models used in the movie I found they are hardly lite at all. As is typical of fan models they are all over lighted and too bright. I want this model to reflect more the movie models and the later CGI which was loyal to the original ILM models.
So today I’m going to move some of the lights to the other side of the hull not yet done and start more on the tower and sub structures on the hull but not too many.
The hangar bay looks great. I’m very happy with that outcome. All Fiber done with optics and the correct brightness.
One the slot car I struggled with the test frame and got it to fit inside and have the axles the correct height. From this I can duplicate the correct frame each time I build one. However I think I’ll have Mark 3D print a frame I can mold and produce out of resin for the eventual kits to be.
