Some other parts are being buit and should be ready soon. All 3D printed. Still a lot to do. Base walls and floors. Here's what's done at the moment.
Greetings from France.

Wow, this looks great!

First off welcome to the Shipyards. And all the way from France too. What a great way to start the day.

Did you print all of these on your own 3D Printer? Off to share on our pages.

Thanks for welcoming me.
No, i got it from shapeways trough someone i am collaborating with on this project.
I still have to draw some sketches on what the whole playset will look like at the end.
There will be several rooms, probably a corridor, some windows that overlook space.
i got inspired by some of the amazing work shared on the site and decided to have a diorama on my own.

Nice work!  Those imperials just don't get enough attention.
I'd love to see some close ups of some of those pieces.
How did you make those display screens?
Can't wait to see more.

et bienvenue.

Awesome, well if you have some shapeways links for us I would love to promote them.

Lets get that shapeway artist noticed too!

The artist sells several playsets designs on ebay.

Those are quite expensive as you can see.
He is a starwars maniac just like me and a nice guy to collaborate with.
This is really a collaborative project with great communication on his part and a constant focus on quality.

the project might take some time to be finished since we have lot's of ideas for it but i'll post updates when i can.

Weird. I don't know where this went? Parts of it seem to be missing.

This looks excellent, I'd love to get hold of a 3D printer.

Awesome dio!  I've been looking at some products on shapeways website, they have all kinds of really cool stuff.

I haven't seen the forums go weird like this in a long time. I am working on it.

Back to your dio front, I am left wondering if you could buy your own 3D Printer and work on some of this yourself unless you are getting some better deals I see on the ebay link?
Title: Re: Something in construction : imperial base/stardestroyer
Post by: Nicov55 on March 06, 2016, 05:19:06 AM

the first one: half of it shall be done soon.

Hey guys, Nick has been a pleasure to work with, he sent me a picture, and he had confidence in me from the start. That is a really rare and special quality in a person. I was very excited to to complete the project. The project turned out amazing.  The consoles them selves were not difficult to model since i had something pretty close to it already done. I just had to change the profile and add all the details. The middle wall was the most difficult to do since it was a completely new model and i had to start from scratch at least 6 times before i got it right.
I probably could have made an exact replica but when you shrinking down a 7 or 8 foot wall to 5 1/2 inches  you have to make certain design choices so it doesn't look too busy or crowded in the space you have to work with.

Here are shots of the middle wall in varying stages.
