Continued with inner reinforcements and details, including laser cannons Wings with solar panels are ready and attached to body beams. I couldn't insert it until the end of grey marking... maybe because of different paper thickness. Hope it will not be some issue later when i attach supports

Thanks mijob. A little update Outer reinforcements and details.

I continue with solar panels. Base laminated from five pieces. Each side eventually will have seven layers + solar panels themselves Uhu02 also gave template to keep right angles I have a little experience working with large areas, so it was challenging to glue them together straight and...

Arm supports parts Twin Ion Engine System and laser cannons parts Assembled and attached in place

Now some details with lamination method. I retouch edges with light grey for more effect, though it's almost white In addition, made solar panel arms and attached them on place with help of device provided by Uhu02

Thanks pals! Solar Ionization Reactor Another helpful solution from Uhu02 This harmonic strip will help to center reactor's conus part at its place Reactor ready and attached to dome

Top and bottom hatches Characterized by edge-to-edge gluing and lamination Bottom one is fuel system and laser compartment access For making round form i started to use some tools from Ali. Very convenient Upper hatch is for ingress/egress access Window imitation was made by clear...

Yep. You are right. But i always liked to show that it is a paper model and those complex shapes made of paper. :biggrin:

Many years ago I purchased foldable photo studio from Modahaus. It's made of some kind of polymeric material with variety of color backdrops. And I use Ikea Forsa lamp with powerful 9-watt white led bulb. This is the one I use for assembling and also for shotting pictures. Camera is just a...

Thank you mijob. Really appreciate your master feedback :)

Thank you for warm feedback! Next step was the most interesting and challenging part for me - the sphere! I never built such thing and was keen to see how it would go. Uhu02 found excellent solution to put this sphere together - inner connecting strips on a base circle So, basically you glue...

Thanks. When I decide on next model from Uhu02, I definitely will look first if you upgraded it

Hi to all I'm new in this section,. though mine main interest is to build armor vehicles specifically from WWII. But in between large-few-years builds I like to build something small and fast, to "rest" :) I really like Star Wars Movies and universe, so this my easy building theme. I've already...

Thank you! I will definitely keep you updated version. But no rush! I decided to continue with my build, because I've already put time and effort in it.

Wow, mijob, such excellent upgrade to Uhu02's one! Looks great and closer to the canonic one! It's a shame I've seen this only today and already printed and started to assemble the source from Uhu02 :( Now I'm not sure if to start a thread or to wait for your upgrade... already done the sphere

Thanks guys! :toast:

Thank you all, forum friends - for warm feedback and support all the way.

And, as usual, a little bonus

Part 2

So, exactly two years of build. I can't change my slow pace :rolleyes: Model is small, but very detailed. There were some little mistakes here and there, but all fixable. Didn't really liked the paper quality. Also, design is odd and doesn't thoughtful with assembler. Parts sometimes scattered...
