Kind of looks like Gene Roddenberry's B-17.

I find it looks like the Braha'tok.

Ok, in the p3d it does, but in that black and white shot it's awfully fuzzy.

So we have a Star Wars show here in Edmonton. I was really pumped to go and photograph the Home One. Unfortunately,the closest ship model had was this was the Liberty. That's really cool, of course, but I was a bit disappointed. Plus, all my photographs are really blurry because my aperture isn't big enough. I wonder what happened to the Home One? Maybe it's broken or something.

I've updated the model a bit.

Awesome. Can't wait to see it going against an ISD.

That's pretty cool. BTW all your shots will be blurry in such low light condition regardless of your aperture. Image stabilization such as Canon likes to put in their objective lenses helps a lot, but a tripod can be a cheap and reliable method for this.

Tripods weren't allowed in the gallery, and my camera doesn't have stabilization. Since I couldn't make my aperture any bigger (to allow more light in), I had to decrease my shutter speed.

Ah, fair enough. The kind of situation where you need at least a second of exposition time so you try to hold your breath to get it as sharp as you can. Been there

Looks great!

[chief1983]

Love it.  Looking at the model in P3D though, from the rear, and it seems there's a seam visible only on one side.

Great to see your progress on this.  Looks amazing, keep it up.

I've started working on the engines. Right now they're a bunch of pipes and a few boxes. I expect the finished result will be even more pipes and boxes. Thoughts and comments are always welcome.

Here are some more shots, with a dreadnought for comparison.

Nifty!

You've probably noticed, but the port side hangars have some little glitches at their edges.

[bobbtmann]

Nope, I didn't notice the glitch.

Nice gold star, by the way.

[mandobardanjusik]

Looking good bobbtmann

Hot damn that's a big ship.  Looks awesome!

Yeah, what the heck is that supposed to be?
