ordered mine from HLJ

gonna redo some things on it though, and make a SAP for it!!!

also ill give it a proper paint job w/ weathering

more details added....

another little update!

more details added.....

some more work done!

Very impressive. I would love to know how you achieved these curved surfaces. It almost looks vacuum-formed!

it isn't vacu-formed.... don't have the tools for that... yet

its put together in sections then sanded round to fit the curve i need..

further more there's two layers of Styrene on that bridge, the inner layer at 1mm thickness

and the outer layer at 0,5mm

After you make your SAP, you can make kits for the rest of us!!

that is a real possibility

Don't forget the drones for it, either!

right... mustn't forget the drones

i will buy this...

then ill make the necessary changes, for it to look even better...

then ill make a SAP pack for it...

dang cant come this year either

ill have to wait for '16

That looks awesome....

any chance you'll make a 1/48 Bike for my VF-19?

pheew!

amidst all the heat, i have progress....

got some work done on the midship lift thrusters, with most of the details done

Also did most of the midship top, with panelines....

That's absolutelly awesome..

Care to share from where to get the styrene sheets in bulk?

well i buy mine through a danish shop, which is reselling from this company: http://www.raboesch.com

standard sizes: 194 x 320 mm / 7,6 x 12,6 inch ranging from 0.3 - 3.0 thickness (1,59 USD - 5,97USD)

plus many other options and larger sheets......

dunno if theres cheeper alternates out there....

my preferred sheet thicknesses for scratch building are 0.5mm 0.75mm 1mm 1.5mm

hope this helps!

continuing with the reinforcement of this build....

cut out the side in 0,75mm styrene sheet and did the panel lining on them

attached them to the bottom midship, also added detail to the thruster,

and made the edges out of milliput.

life has been interfering the last couple of weeks, but finally i got something done...

i have added section plates on this piece...

not quite done with this yet, but its getting there...

Has anybody ever thought of making a, say, 1/350 display piece of the SDF-1 bridge?

that is actually something i have thought about my self....

maybe i should add that on my to do list

pretty much done with the radar array, and the side "intake"

got some work done on the radar array...

You, sir, have an incredible amount of patience! That is turning out absolutely awesome!

thx patience yea, but more so, stubborn!

You Sir are a Modeling Wizard!!!

thx, ill keep conjuring up more details

ok i made a change to the bridge, i weren't to fond of how it looked.

so i cut it away and made a new one...

its hollow so the i can add lighting later on..

Wow!

So are you using styrene now and not paper for some of the bridge?

well i decided early on that i wouldn't limit my self to paper....

paper is great for alot, so is styrene... so whichever works best for any given task, i use!

have begun work on the bridge itself

not finished though, still need the even smaller details

built more details on the bridge...

some more work done on the bridge...

begun work on the bridge...

wanna get it as close to my other SDF-1 bridge...

finished adding tiles to the other main thruster!

a rather imposing sight

and a quick view of the approximate length

Hey - where can I get a hold of syringes like that? I need syringes with large needles like that for applying different substances.

i would suggest you search on Amazon for Industrial Syringes with Blunt Tip Needle
