Hi everyone,
i´m new in this forum and let me introduce myself. I´m a german modeler that found his strength and love in scratchbuilding and one of my projects is the Rebel Hangar as shown on the pics below. If you have any questions please let me know okay? ;)

that is quite simply incredible! i'm speechless....
-
WOW!!!!!
-
Hackcore.... What an entrance!
There really are no words! well there are, but they are usually preceded with several words that cannot be shown on this forum....Sorry guys but single syllable words just don't do this drool making, totally jaw dropping work of art justice....
Every detail , every tiny part has been perfectly placed. the sheer scale and precision is just awesome! To be given such a creative gift, to be so skilled really is proof that there must be a God.
Hackcore, your work is that of a genius, and for an almost lifelong Star Wars fan and keen model maker I really am blown away. I've got the picture book of the movie models from Star Wars and no word of a lie, yours are indistinguishable. In fact some of your Star Wars models have never even been created by ILM, so they are totally unique. The YT freighter, it's not a 2000, it's a larger variant, is a thing of wonder, another one-off of pure awesomeness. Also your weathering, it's totally consistent and absolutely spot on. Each skill set you have is just mind blowing.
It really is a privilege having you here at ISY. Your work is featured on our front page!
Welcome!
-
Thanks for the warm welcome! :D
-
H, (may I call you "H"?)
What type is the YT freighter, it looks like a larger version of the Otana? Man....it's porn to a Star Wars fan like me!!!
-
I just don't know what to say...my brain just melted. Let me go back and look at these pictures, maybe I'll be able to put my thoughts into words after taking this in for the second time. That YT is breath taking as is every piece of your diorama.
-
Very, very cool.
-
I have officially given up scratch building anything.
This is amazing. I realy love this dio. It's very very well crafted, the scratchbuilt freighter is genious.
May I ask what scale these models are in? is it 1/177? Are there any actual model kits being used here and if so which ones? or (and if so i'm even more flabergasted) are the standard ships (x-wing, y-wing, a-wing) all scratchbuilt as well?
are you casting/sculpting your own figures for this? that rodian pilot is amazingly detailed for the scale!
does the dio come apart to allow you to photograph inside it?
were the background space shots added in digitally or are they removable backdrops for the dio?
I also realy love the addition of lighting in this. I'd love to see your circuitry for the LED-system and ANY work in progress photos you may have.
I would LOVE to see more images of this and other projects you might have to offer....
-
Hackcore, that is simply amazing, and I am truly at a loss for any other words. So beautiful, my friend.

Dude
AAAWWWWEEESSSSOOMMEEE work how long did this take you to do I I I I can't imagine the work it took to make this Hanger. It's not the big things that impress me is it's the little things computers the lights and the figs the cargo boxes. Just Just

LOL ;D Yes the YT-2010 is bigger than the Otana and have more firepower with the gatlings. My mate Brett from the netherlands did the design and started this model but he had to quit his beloved hobby and i finished the model.
-
Mate firstly welcome to the shipyards and secondly what a diorama, this thing is without a doubt one the best 1/72 dios I've seen for a very very long time.
The details are fantastic and even look more amazing with the awesome paint apps, the thing I really like about this dio is that you have alot of activity going on without cluttering up the dio which is a very hard thing to pulll off. My hat comes off to you sir simply breathtaking and look forward to seeing more of your amazing work.

YT2010...And a custom design to boot...lol wonderful! She's a real beaut!
-
Hackcore - Welcome to the yards!! That is truly some amazing work. What a privilege to see this !! WOW :o
-
OK, I still can't put everything I am thinking into words. Please describe for us exactly what you have done here. No part of this is recognizable as a product you can buy. Did you scratch build everything? What is the deal with the tiny figures? Did you make them? I would love to hear some details about this amazing work of art.
-
sorry i had to rehinge my jaw ......if the devil is in the detail ..then you my friend are Lord Diablo himself!
-
omg :o
first of all welcome to the yards Hackcore.
It is the fourth time that I watch your outstanding dio and I think I've seen only the half of all the details.
It's absolutely amazing.
I hope you show us a lot more of your work
great job
1000/1000

X2....welcome and i look forward to seeing more !

The models are 1:72 scale and they are from Fine Molds. The best Kits available in this scale. The A-Wing is a resinkit from Fantastic Plastic and the E-Wing is scratchbuilt.
The figures are from different kits. The pilots came from the X-Wing´s. And the other guys came from 1:72 Figure-Sets like Hasegawa or Triliance.
I have officially given up scratch building anything.
This is amazing. I realy love this dio. It's very very well crafted, the scratchbuilt freighter is genious.

I...I...I...
WOW!!!
I am speechless.
ONE PERSON DID ALL THIS??? I would have thought a production team of over a dozen people did this.
This is movie scale production quality.
Unbelievable.
The words "Great Job", are not sufficient.
-
I have been staring at the YT-2010...
That ship is absolutely fantastic!!!
When I was scrolling down the pictures, when that one appeared,...it created such a feeling of wow...like when I saw the Milleinum Falcon for the first time.
Just absolutely amazing.
To quote the great Indiana Jones "... it belongs in a museum..."!
-
Holy cow. I think my brain is leaking out of my ears.
-
Ok that's it...I quit!!!
No reason to go on with something like this around. Holy christmas this is awesome!!
-
I don't know how to respond to these images. Thank you for sharing them with us. I don't even know where to begin to describe how impressed I am. Welcome to the Shipyards. You definitely know your way around one!
-
I think I can speak for everyone here and whomever else that has yet to see this MOTHERF#@^$ THATS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN SCRATCH MADE!!!! My friend you are a true artist Im with spud on this one let me just throw in the towel this piece of work is just crazy awsome beautiful stuff like this should have been at CV they should have the honor of this being displayed at their venue truly truly awsome way to go brother welcome to the yards just in case no one has mentioned it yet lol!!!
-
Great job and welcome to the yards! If you get a chance I'd love to see some of your other work.. I noticed a few aircraft and other things in the background =)
Amazing work all around!
-
Awe-inspiring! You even have an E-Wing in there! I want one of these in 3-3/4" scale. It would have to be about 8' long but this gives me some inspiration. I always wanted to recreate the hanger from the Rogue Squadron game. I like the droid crane thing. Good job man. And the YT model is cool, and it actually makes more sense to have the cockpit in the middle of the craft instead of on the side like the Falcon's!
-
WOW...........I am speechless. makes me want to scrap my dio and start over. That is nice. welcome aboard, your going to like it here!
-
Welcome to the Shipyards!
I had to look at all of the pics twice and went through three towels just to catch all of the drool. Man, that is some piece of work there and shows a true modeler's passion for details. Just stunning, to say the least. We can't wait to see more of your great work.
-
I am crossing my fingers that one day I will see an Echo Base or a Battle of Hoth or Stay Destroyer Hangar. I can't imagine what that would look like done with this much precision to detail. I really is great to just look at the pictures again and again as there is so much to see!
-
Thanks a lot Brother!! Hey nice Banner! I´ve got some pics for you ;) ;D

If i had more time for my hobby i would build the whole Hoth Base like in the Star Wars Cross-sections Book. ;D

-
I've been out of the loop for a while, so a lot of stuff has slipped in under my radar and I've had to start playing catch-up.
WOW!!!
I'm a tramp-freighter fan, so that YT-2010 is ..... well, wow. I love it. Is it a total scratch-build or is there some kitbashing going on or just exactly what?
Just amazing. Thanks for sharing. My wife likes your approach to displaying by hanging them on the walls. So you've given me an opening... ;D
-
..................... holy fu......... cow !!! IM SO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how... how..... how could anyone do this ..... are you the jesus of star wars? serious no jokes are you ?

Thanks Doc! Yes the YT-2010 is total scratch-build and the "greeblies" are resin copies from some parts of the Fine Molds Millennium Falcon kit.
There are a lot of progress pics in my photobucket album if you would like to see some pics of the build: http://s474.photobucket.com/albums/rr104/HACKCORE-/YT-2010/

Not even close! ;D Thanks a lot buddy!
-
nice, moldy crow
-
WOW!!!! Just fantastic!
-
man, that dio on the first page is exactly the kind of thing I love to look at, miniatures in a diorama, awesome job, love it!
-
Wow, such detail on smaller scale always amazes me.. I used to paint lil' miniature RPG guys and I hated it, lol...
I gotta show this to my buddy, who wants to turn his shelves in his office into mini hangerbays.. He's gonna love that first diorama!
-
Amazing!!! How did you do those rebel and droid figure miniatures? Are they store bought or hand made?
-
Thanks everyone! ;)
@commanderbly78: The rebel pilots came mostly from the Fine Molds 1:72 X-Wing Fighter Kit (i just replaced their heads) also the R2 Droids. That brown "Gonk" Droid came from the Triliance Hangar Set like some other stuff that can be seen in the hangar. And some figures came from figure sets like the Hasegawa 1:72 US Pilot/ Ground Crew Set.
