Looks fantastic so far. This is gonna be huge, just like I like em. Update is on the fp.

As for pictures once you get to using a free photo hosting site, trust me the forums additional options load up will be history. I will go back into it to see if I can increase the size limit for the pics though. I hate to miss something!

Thanks for the FP! Not sure it was ready though! LOL!  ;)

Here are a few pics of the FiIRST trial fit, it is literally taped together!

During this trial I have noticed a few errors of measuring! (I must remember to allow for the thickness of the materials! LOL!)
So it isnt fitting right and needs a bit of adjusting!
Luckily I always underestimate,as its a lot easier to remove excess than add bits to plug holes! LOL!
This is literally to give a rough idea of the size of it and the falcon is there purely for scale, as is the figure.
There is still a lot of trimming, doors windows, interiors, etc etc etc to be done! basically its probably only about 20 % done!
One other not so obvious problem is the weight of the thing! Its made of 6mm thick MDF (Micro Density Fibre board), so will probably end up weighting at least 25KG, which will make moving it around a chore! LOL!  
But so far so good! :)

I always liked the visual aesthetic of the Imperial vs. everyone else in ship design.  The common ships always had splotches of rust and weathering, implying a lot of use planetside, day in, day out drudgery... while the Empire's ships were clean, sterile and almost robotic in their design.  In addition, the interiors of the Imperial ships were always so HUGE!  Weirdly enough, it made the ships themselves feel more claustrophobic, almost as if humans were only an afterthought in their construction.

I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

I tend to agree with Smeagol on this one! I like the crisp lines and newness, I never was much of a 'Blade Runner' fan! So it will have lots of nice white paint! LOL! :)

This is one fantastic and ambitious project! The basic shape is looking great so far. Can't wait to see how you handle all the details that cover this ship. It would be awesome to cut in docking bays for micro machines vehicles!

Thanks for all the kind comments!  ;D
This was very nearly made for the micro machine range, it probably would have been a more accurate scale, but I changed my mind... (basically I didnt want to buy all the micro machine things to man it! LOL).  :o
I do have some plans for the outside, but Im not planning on going to mad on it, this is a playset , not an accurate scale model, but it will have the general idea, gun turrets, etc. Sadly its a bit small for full scale Tie fighters to fit inside it (well not if you want any rooms too!) so I have bought a couple of the Revell kit Tie  Interceptor models, which should fit fine and at least give the right sort of idea.  8)
These are new pics, but there is little obvious difference apart from the parts all fit together properly now, its been a day of small cuts, trims and adjustments, a bit dull, but necessary!  ;)
Im back to work tomorrow so wont be able to do much more until July now!   :(

PS OOhhh! Just noticed Ive been promoted! LOL!
