Baubericht

October 11, 2022
Fangen wir mit der ersten Mandibel an.
2
October 13, 2022
Nummer Zwei. Ein Wahnsinn welchen Detail Reichtum Bandai hier geschaffen hat.
3
October 15, 2022
Das erste mal das ich spachteln musste.
4
October 15, 2022
Alles sehr filigran.
5
October 15, 2022
Ansonsten sind alle Spalten hervorragend abgedeckt.
6
October 16, 2022
Am Wochenende mit Schrecken festgestellt, daß ein großes Bauteil verzogen ist. Revell angeschrieben und um Ersatz gebeten. Jetzt ist erst mal Baustopp bis ich weiß wie es weitergeht.
7
October 22, 2022
Update. Bin vom Sockelshop wo ich den Falken gekauft habe und Revell, die das Bandai Modell vertreiben begeistert. Hat 5 Werktage gedauert und schon habe ich ein Ersatzteil. Super Service.
8
October 22, 2022
Und darum kann es auch weiter gehen. Das Unterteil vom Falken ist fertig gestellt.
9
December 1, 2022
Oberer Deckel.
10
December 4, 2022
An der Oberseite ist bei der Rampe ein Spalt entstanden.
11
December 4, 2022
Das konnte so natürlich nicht bleiben und wurde gespachtelt und geschliffen.
12
December 8, 2022
Aus dem 3D Drucker kommt dieses Bauteil.
13
December 8, 2022
Passt genau in die untere Hälfte des Falken
14
December 8, 2022
Dieses Bauteil dient dazu die Halterung für das Diorama aufzunehmen
15
December 10, 2022
Nach Grundierung und preshading ist die erste Grundlackschicht drauf. Habe mich für White Grey von Vallejo entschieden. Reines Weiß wäre mir zu kalt gewesen.
16
December 10, 2022
Die ersten drei Platten sind rot lackiert. War recht kompliziert, da ich im Vorfeld nicht daran gedacht habe die Klappen Steuerung erst nachträglich zu installieren.
17
December 16, 2022
Platte für Platte geht es vorwärts. Eine Menge Abklebe Arbeit ist von Nöten.
18
December 23, 2022
Habe mir erst mal ein paar Halterungen gebaut um den Falken vernünftig lackieren und altern zu können.
19
December 24, 2022
Die Decals sind drauf, beginnen wir mit dem Panel Lining.
20
December 26, 2022
Auf der unteren Hälfte ist nun ein Filter aus Khaki, Blau Grau und Grün aufgebracht.
21
December 26, 2022
Das washing besteht aus Braun und Dunkelgrau.
22
December 26, 2022
Jetzt mit Klarlack sichern.
23
January 1, 2023
Zurück zu den Mandibeln.
24
January 1, 2023
Auch sie haben eine Washing erhalten. Fehlt noch das Chipping und Fading.
25
January 19, 2023
Mandibeln eingebaut
26
January 19, 2023
Experimentieren mit dem Chipping.
27
January 22, 2023
Unterseite fertig gechippt.
28
January 22, 2023
29
January 22, 2023
30
January 22, 2023
31
January 22, 2023
32
January 22, 2023
Auf zum Fading.
33
January 24, 2023
I did this very subtle fading. Think it’s perfectly adequate. It’s often easy to do too much.
Now that has to go on the rest of the saucer.
34
January 27, 2023
35
January 27, 2023
Kommen wir zum Abschluss der Unterseite.
36
January 27, 2023
Es fehlten noch die letzten Schmutzschlieren und das Chipping habe ich noch ein wenig verfeinert.
37
January 27, 2023
An manchen Stellen wurden noch weiße Highlights gesetzt.
38
January 27, 2023
39
January 27, 2023
Als nächstes widme ich mich der Oberseite.
40
January 31, 2023
I found the underside a bit too homogeneous, but it was only my practice object.
Therefore, after the panel lining, I did a panel lightning. In other words, individual plates were masked again and a black shadow was cast in one corner.
41
January 31, 2023
Next, I’ll focus on the top.
The base coat with the colored plates is on, now the lengthy process of aging starts again.
42
February 1, 2023
Another small update.
Think the 3D blaster damage is really great.
But that’s why I didn’t understand why parts of the inner ship can only be seen in one of the larger holes and I filled the other holes with leftovers from the rummage box and styrene.
Only the left hole was filled.
43
February 1, 2023
And the filter is on it too.
The lid is only put on to see if the mandibles and the upper side match the sound.
44
February 2, 2023
Today I dealt with the scaffolding for the diorama.
The idea was to let the falcon fly through a kind of bisected tube. This should then be equipped with a Death Star surface that I will create later.
But as I said, first of all it’s about the scaffolding which will probably be made of wood.
I made a 1:144 scale model out of cardboard.
45
February 2, 2023
I can then screw the threaded rod on which the model sits to the body through a hole.
46
February 6, 2023
Today we take a small step towards lighting the drive.

In the original kit, only very few LEDs are provided for the drive, which has already been criticized by some model builders.
A remedy had to be found.
So I got myself a lighting and sound module from America.
The engine light strip consists of 34 super-bright mini neopixel LEDs
47
February 6, 2023
These are glued to a carrier also included in the set and intrigued into the fuselage. Fits great.
Then I cut the plug.
The cables will be extended here later and new small plugs will be soldered on, because I did not build the control unit and the loudspeaker into the model, but into the diorama.
48
February 6, 2023
And so the wedding could be celebrated today, the big lids have united.
Now you can already see the well-known silhouette.
49
February 8, 2023
Small update.
The retaining clips and lines to the mandibles have been added.
50
February 8, 2023
The brackets are also one of the few components that I had to putty.
51
February 8, 2023
With this, the falcon at the bow is complete and can be further aged.
52
February 9, 2023
So today again made the framework for the diorama. This time with the original model.
Everything has to be right before it is built.
And what can I say, I’m quite satisfied
53
February 9, 2023
The falcon has to move a little more to the right.
54
February 9, 2023
And tilted a little more at the angle.
55
February 18, 2023
At the moment I don’t have much time for model building, but I have painted a little more on the engine cover.
56
February 18, 2023
Filter, washing and dry painting complete.
57
February 18, 2023
Put it on once, goes with the rest.
58
March 5, 2023
I needed a little break from chipping.
That’s why I took care of the inner values of my Falcon again.
First glued a styrene strip behind the LEDs and lined the sides with foam.
So that the light cannot be seen in front through the crevices of the mandibles.

Then I extended the cables. The electronics should be in the diorama, not in the model.
Then connect it and run a test.
What can I say, great. But see for yourself:

Youtube Video
59
March 9, 2023
In the meantime I’ve finally finished chipping the fuselage and sealed it with clear coat.
60
March 9, 2023
I drew fine lines on the blaster damage to increase the effect.
Now dry well and then comes the fading.
61
March 18, 2023
62
March 18, 2023
I finished weathering the hull without the cockpit and engine cover.
63
March 18, 2023
64
March 18, 2023
65
March 18, 2023
66
March 31, 2023
After a lot of back and forth, I decided to go back to the original component and not to use the Greenstrawberry set.
The decals from them are simple stickers and I didn’t like that at all.
Bandai’s decals are excellent.
But all the fine details had to be filed away from the surfaces to allow the decals to lay properly. Even with Micro Sol it doesn’t work properly otherwise.
67
March 31, 2023
I could use some of the accessory kit after all. The etched parts cover the holes in the seats for the original figures.
68
March 31, 2023
Falcon 3D figures are great. Far livelier poses than Bandai’s rigid sitting ones. Unfortunately, Chewi is missing the cartridge belt, but otherwise great.
69
March 31, 2023
What is of no use at all from the original kit are the LEDs. They’re way too weak. Disappointing for a 400 euro kit. Especially since there are very bright lights for a mere 8 cents apiece.
To be on the safe side, an additional pair were installed behind the cockpit. Then drilled holes in the blackened transparent part and lo and behold…
70
March 31, 2023
Let there be light.
71
April 3, 2023
This was the first time that a part didn’t sit perfectly.
72
April 3, 2023
A huge gap had to be bridged with Mr. surfacer.
73
April 3, 2023
After all, what are we model builders for, close the gap. I only had to score a new board seam with a mini chisel afterwards.
74
April 3, 2023
I like it that way very much.
75
April 3, 2023
Then again panels painted in different shades.
76
April 3, 2023
And a lightweight Panel Lightning. Individual records immediately get more depth.
77
April 3, 2023
Finally the panel lining and the decals.
78
April 3, 2023
And one step further.
79
April 6, 2023
The cockpit is now also on the fuselage.
80
April 6, 2023
So aging is complete.
81
April 6, 2023
You had to use a lot of force to snap the component into place. With all the color, however no wonder.
82
April 6, 2023
83
April 6, 2023
Control the light
84
April 6, 2023
And found good.
85
April 6, 2023
If an LED is defective, I no longer have the opportunity to change it anyway.
86
April 13, 2023
Let’s go to the engine cover.
87
April 13, 2023
He’s also completely aged now.
88
April 13, 2023
The traces of exhaust gas from the fans were created with pigments.
89
April 13, 2023
And with that, only the two weapon bays are missing.
90
April 13, 2023
And a little hint...

The covers of the weapons bays are ready for aging.
91
April 18, 2023
Still runs great.
92
April 18, 2023
Let’s get back to electronics.
The plugs for the control unit still had to be soldered to the cables.
Afterwards, of course, check again whether everything is still working properly.
93
April 18, 2023
The light with the super bright LEDs is fantastic. Really looks like a plasma stream because the led strip flickers slightly.
94
April 18, 2023
Then put the bottom cover on, pulled the cables through, sorted and tied them up.
95
April 18, 2023
We slowly approach the diorama.
96
April 18, 2023
So I did another rehearsal.
97
April 18, 2023
The angle of the threaded rod has been changed and its position.
I like it better now.
98
April 19, 2023
And again the rest of the chipping is avoided.
Love making the base plate for the Dio.
99
April 19, 2023
This is now made of PVC and not of wood as I had planned.
It’s easier to edit, I’m a locksmith and not a carpenter.
I created threaded rods in different lengths and angles. Then try to find the best one.
100
April 19, 2023
With all sorts of angles, the plate is well stiffened and securely accommodates the falcon.
101
April 19, 2023
I pressed in a threaded hollow rivet to hold the threaded rod and secured it with a nut.
Now the little bird is in an excellent position.
102
April 19, 2023
I will make the framework for the Dio in two parts.
103
April 19, 2023
So I can also disassemble the Dio with the falcons, for example to go to a trade fair.
104
April 19, 2023
Pushed together and good. I will then cover the gap with all sorts of greeblies and styrene.
105
April 19, 2023
106
April 28, 2023
Today I come to the second part of the framework.
107
April 28, 2023
I added another level below, on which the loudspeakers and electronics will later be placed.
108
April 28, 2023
Pushed together, fits perfectly.
109
April 28, 2023
A large contact surface to the rear as well. So that nothing falls over afterwards.
110
April 28, 2023
And a look behind the scenes again.
The threaded rod is now attached with M8 nuts and body washers. Holds more than the threaded sleeve.
111
April 28, 2023
Then the little bird can take a seat for a test.
112
April 28, 2023
Everything seems to fit.
113
April 28, 2023
The gentle reader may have noticed that the upper weapons bay is also in place.
Now the only thing missing for the falcon is the bowl.
114
April 30, 2023
The pure falcon model is finally finished and I brought you some pictures of the little bird at halftime.
115
April 30, 2023
Curtain up for the Fastest Hunk of Junk in the Galaxy…
116
April 30, 2023
117
April 30, 2023
118
April 30, 2023
119
April 30, 2023
120
April 30, 2023
121
April 30, 2023
122
April 30, 2023
123
May 10, 2023
The base is now ready to receive the Death Star surface.
124
May 10, 2023
Everything is filled, sanded and primed.
125
May 10, 2023
The small dormer from the 3D printer was placed under the falcon to adjust it.
I’ll have to shorten it a bit, otherwise it won’t slide well under the model.
126
May 10, 2023
So far I’m really happy with the framework for the Dio.
127
May 10, 2023
Now it’s time to work out the details.
128
May 19, 2023
Simple half-timbered steel girders with tubes running around.
The base coat is on and a small rehearsal was made
129
May 19, 2023
The front covers are fresh out of the printer and untreated.
130
July 7, 2023
Hello everybody.
Here I am and many thanks.
I had a very nice vacation but also a little craft break to recharge my batteries.
In addition, I first had to acquire some skills in creating print templates. It wasn’t that easy and sometimes a bit boring.
But slowly I’m getting better and in the meantime I’ve created the following structures for the bottom plate of my diorama.
First there would be a truncated pyramid. The gray part on top is the shots of a laser.
131
July 7, 2023
And this simple square. The surfaces are still untreated. A few finer details are also printed and laid on top.
132
July 7, 2023
Then the semicircle. Based on the original. Of course, all the fine surface details are still missing.
133
July 7, 2023
And already roughly distributed on the plate.
134
July 7, 2023
I’m not yet satisfied with the cover for the threaded rod, but I’m busy creating new shapes.
So, the beginning has been made and I think that new information will now be given at a faster rate.
135
July 10, 2023
It continues.
And these are these next printed parts for the Dio.
Printing time for the two plates, almost 16 hours.
136
July 10, 2023
They are sculpted slabs of the Death Star surface found on the web.
137
July 10, 2023
They are intended for the side panels.
138
July 10, 2023
And the casing for the mount of the falcon is also made.
139
July 28, 2023
It drags a little on me and the diorama.
But I’ve made a start.
140
July 28, 2023
The first parts are primed and now much smoother on the surfaces.
141
July 28, 2023
Finally I can start kitbashing.
142
July 28, 2023
Now the details are getting finer and finer.
143
July 28, 2023
Then primed.
144
July 28, 2023
And glued to the bottom panel.
145
July 29, 2023
And another little update, I've started to set irregular plates like the falcon.
The styrene plates from Evergreen, for example, are ideal for this. Simply run the scalpel along a steel ruler and break off with flat-nosed pliers.
See for yourself...
146
August 5, 2023
It’s gradually getting a little easier.
The sheer size and emptiness on the diorama framework made me a little desperate at first.
147
August 5, 2023
But I’m slowly getting the hang of it.
Here is the latest construction progress at the star.
148
August 8, 2023
Small update.
Print straight panels to dress the dormer that conceals the falcon mount and adjust.
Since they are quite simply detailed, filament plates work quite well. Foundation follows.
149
August 11, 2023
150
August 11, 2023
151
August 11, 2023
152
August 13, 2023
Next time the whole time in plain gray primed.
Seems completely different.
153
August 13, 2023
So we come pretty close to a Death Star surface I think.
154
August 13, 2023
Now a look at how it could go on.
155
August 13, 2023
I’m not sure what position the next block will be in.
156
August 14, 2023
After I pushed the cover for the model holder quite far forward, a setting test had to be done today.
157
August 14, 2023
As you can see, tight but sufficient.
158
August 14, 2023
The cables also thread well into the compartment intended for the electronics.
159
August 14, 2023
I like it.
160
August 19, 2023
Again just a small mini update. Kitbashing is really very time consuming.
Right side cover.
Here, too, the slot of the two-part diorama must be concealed.
161
August 20, 2023
And now fresh from the airbrush cabin… still a little damp…
162
August 20, 2023
I think the big effort in kitbashing was worth it.
163
August 24, 2023
Continue with the star.
I’m afraid that there will only be small updates in the near future.
It’s extremely time consuming. First the creation on the computer, then the printing, the bold priming and the subsequent kitbashing.
164
August 24, 2023
Here you can see the very simple, printed structure with the subsequent refinement using old components from the leftovers box.
165
August 24, 2023
I hope that the spare box will also be enough to create the complete diorama.
166
August 24, 2023
And it comes together.
This part isn’t quite as elaborate as the one on the right, as you won’t see much of this area once the falcon is in position.
167
August 24, 2023
This is the current status.
168
August 26, 2023
Laid the armor plates.
I love Styrene so awesome and easy to work with.
169
August 26, 2023
And details laid out.
170
August 26, 2023
Ready for the primer.
171
August 26, 2023
Fresh out of the paint booth again.
172
August 26, 2023
This roughly finishes the surface of the lower panel. But i’m sure I can remember one or two details.
173
September 1, 2023
We come to the next floor.
174
September 1, 2023
Just rehearsals again.
175
September 1, 2023
Modified parts of the Iron Dome model are installed on the lateral front.
176
September 3, 2023
The beginning has now been made on the second floor…
177
September 3, 2023
In connection with the base plate, it already makes a slim foot. German proverb. 🤔mile:
178
September 3, 2023
Nothing to see from the gap
179
September 4, 2023
Next Details at the corner…
180
September 4, 2023
and primed.
181
September 4, 2023
It goes.
182
September 5, 2023
At the moment I have time and can build a little more every day.
Current result.
183
September 5, 2023
The truncated pyramid from the printer needed a little upgrading.
184
September 5, 2023
A little grey…
185
September 5, 2023
…and everything fits into the overall picture.
186
September 5, 2023
What have I done to myself??
But the star grows!
187
September 6, 2023
And again it was time for a rehearsal.
188
September 6, 2023
Not what comes afterwards. It’s tight…
189
September 6, 2023
But since everything fit, I was able to refine it further.
190
September 6, 2023
As always, fresh from the airbrush booth.
191
September 6, 2023
It fits.
192
September 11, 2023
I had to go to the lower floor again. I still didn’t like the quarter circle 100 percent.
193
September 11, 2023
Too few details. And finally a little tiger should also be installed.
194
September 11, 2023
Better.
195
September 11, 2023
Yes, that’s how it works.
196
September 11, 2023
Now the lower part also fits the upper part of the Dios.
197
September 17, 2023
And now we continue upstairs again.
First create the next structural framework.
198
September 17, 2023
Attached the upper fan box and the right side panel as a test.
I like it.
199
September 17, 2023
Also on the right with the scaffolding.
200
September 17, 2023
And the next connection to the ground floor.
201
September 21, 2023
The right side also received its appropriate framework.
202
September 21, 2023
And further connections from the middle to the lower level.
203
September 22, 2023
It continues on the right side.
204
September 22, 2023
With a mix of kitbash and styrene plates.
The right edge was covered with parts of Iron Doom.
205
September 22, 2023
Prime everything properly.
206
September 22, 2023
In the middle I inserted a printed profile with 2 components glue. Not only intended to look good, but also to reinforce the most unstable part of the scaffolding.
The fans were also placed in their positions.
207
September 22, 2023
And a picture for the overall impression.
208
September 26, 2023
Kitbashing is really extremely time consuming.
209
September 30, 2023
For me, the middle plate was further refined with kitbashing.
210
September 30, 2023
And fresh from the cabin…
211
September 30, 2023
There’s nothing left to see of the gap.
212
September 30, 2023
In gray it looks completely different. By the way, my favorite color. :wink:
213
September 30, 2023
This would also complete the middle panel.
However, it is possible that one or two tubes still come to mind.
214
October 2, 2023
Let’s move on to the next level.
Since I have also covered the back of the scaffolding, I can now put it upside down and carry on sensibly without bending my fingers.
215
October 2, 2023
The same procedure here too. Relatively poorly detailed structures from the 3D printer in connection with styrene plates and old model building remains.
216
October 2, 2023
And of course all sorts of tubes that wonderfully conceal unwanted gaps.
217
October 20, 2023
After a short creative break, we can continue fresh.
First, armor plates were cut and attached to the top.
218
October 20, 2023
Then on the right the structure started to be built further.
219
October 20, 2023
Some people will probably call me crazy, but I got the Y-Wing Starfighter and the A-Wing Starfighter from Bandai to exploit. :woozy_face:
I’m slowly running out of good, adequate kitbash parts. Here you can see, for example, the sawn-off half of the Y-Wing stand. These are also covered with styrene panels.
220
November 1, 2023
The sides are painted, but not yet equipped with the small Styrene rectangles. So I can put it on the side so I can continue working there.
221
October 20, 2023
The right interior of the framework was provided with a printed plate, which I use like this. Super fine details are not so important here.
This is part of the original Death Star interface that can be freely downloaded online. Primed with grease it should be enough to cover the print marks.
222
November 1, 2023
Now further detail the basic structures I created.
223
November 1, 2023
All I see in my mind’s eye are tubes.
224
November 1, 2023
Buying the Bandai Y Hunter was definitely worth it. Won many small applications for kitbashing again.
225
November 1, 2023
And in gray it looks like this.
226
November 13, 2023
I haven't made much progress at the moment and just did another test today.
227
November 1, 2023
Now we can go to the other side.
228
November 13, 2023
So that I can see where more or less fine details need to go.
229
November 13, 2023
At the top center, for example, more parts have to go than previously assumed.
230
November 13, 2023
Whereas on the right side behind the falcon there are more than enough.
231
November 14, 2023
Little Update
232
November 15, 2023
Here's a look at my kitbash session today.
233
November 15, 2023
I didn't really like the position of the bird in the diorama yet.
So I tried a slightly longer threaded rod.
234
November 16, 2023
I'm coming to my meeting yesterday.
More Y parts…
235
November 15, 2023
I think the falcon looks better this way. Not so deep...
236
November 15, 2023
...then the backside hangs.
237
November 16, 2023
And that happened today.
238
November 16, 2023
And a few little things in the middle.
239
November 16, 2023
Now clean up again before we continue.
240
November 22, 2023
Let’s come to the finale of the middle and upper sections.
After cutting what feels like 1000 small plates, we distribute them evenly into the remaining free areas.
241
November 22, 2023
The Y hunters really pay off. It’s just money anyway.
242
November 22, 2023
The last pipe was also laid.
243
November 22, 2023
And with that I present fresh from the paint booth…
244
November 22, 2023
My very own Death Star.
245
November 22, 2023
And again in a long shot.
Now I have to briefly go back to the lower plate.
The covering for the threaded rod needs a surface on top.
246
November 23, 2023
And on we go.
Let’s start with the cover for the threaded rod.
247
November 23, 2023
Printed and covered with styrene.
248
November 23, 2023
From the paint booth…
249
November 23, 2023
This should hide the cables and threaded rod quite well.
250
November 23, 2023
The sides also have to be filled with the obligatory squares.
251
November 23, 2023
And other Side.
252
November 23, 2023
This completes the inner section of the star.
253
November 23, 2023
Let’s get to the cover test.
254
November 23, 2023
Everything seems to fit.
255
November 23, 2023
Here are a few more pictures from the final test.
256
November 23, 2023
Here are a few more pictures from the final test.
257
November 23, 2023
Here are a few more pictures from the final test.
258
November 23, 2023
Here are a few more pictures from the final test.
259
November 23, 2023
The check showed that there were enough tubes and squares.
260
November 23, 2023
I’m starting to have enough too.
261
November 26, 2023
Let’s get to the painting work.
First the obligatory pre-shading.
262
November 26, 2023
Base coat on and decals glued.
When it came to panel lining, things got complicated.
It doesn’t work here like it does on the falcon model. The plates are only indicated there and the color is drawn into the gaps between them by capillary action.
The panels of the diorama are of course glued on and the gap is much larger. That’s why I have to carefully apply the washing color here with a fine brush.
But do it with a steady hand.
263
November 26, 2023
The countless squares emphasized with a light gray.
264
November 26, 2023
And the armor plates painted a shade of a darker gray in the corners. This way I get greater contrast.
265
November 26, 2023
266
November 26, 2023
267
November 30, 2023
Now I’m back to the decals, but I’ve had enough for today. ?
268
November 30, 2023
Let’s move on to mid- and high-level preshading.
269
November 30, 2023
Pannellining and lighting. As well as highlighting individual structures.
270
November 30, 2023
Everything is slowly coming to fruition.
271
December 7, 2023
After the top two sections were so full of great little details, I have to go back to the base plate.
Here I started with the quarter circle and practiced kitbashing. After comparing it with the top plate, I found it to be a little sparse.
So I picked out a few more parts and created more details.
Here’s the bottom plate before for comparison…
272
December 7, 2023
And after I lent a hand again.
The newly added parts can be recognized by their lighter surface. The plate already has two filters on it. Consisting of blue-grey and a medium gray which also results in a slight washing.
273
December 7, 2023
Since I added the Y-fighter parts very late, they enrich the lower section very well.
274
December 7, 2023
Better filled the plate.
275
December 7, 2023
And the sides received a few decals.
276
December 12, 2023
What have I done to myself…
Washing and dry painting is extremely time-consuming.
Thousands of places that you can hardly get to and you always have to be careful that excess paint dries on places that you don’t immediately see.
277
December 12, 2023
But I think it’s worth it.
A nice contrast is created.
278
December 12, 2023
Left side up to the middle level is done.
A week of work.
279
December 27, 2023
It took a while, but the washing and dry painting of the plate is finished.
But first I had to improve something on the upper structure, otherwise it would have been too bare.
280
December 27, 2023
Then we could finally start with the upper level.
281
December 27, 2023
What a slog.
282
December 27, 2023
Countless places were difficult to reach.
283
December 27, 2023
But it’s coming together more and more.
284
December 27, 2023
And again the overall view from the front.
285
December 31, 2023
To finish off the base, I printed out steel structural elements.
However, I am still a beginner in 3D printing and therefore the rivets were defective no matter what I tried.
Here are the freshly printed front pages.
286
December 31, 2023
That’s why I removed the rivets after assembly.
I just didn’t like it.
287
December 31, 2023
My old Punch & Die set helped.
288
December 31, 2023
I got this for this model years ago because some rows of rivets were wrong or missing.
289
December 31, 2023
And so the faulty rivets were replaced.
290
December 31, 2023
Then painted.
291
December 31, 2023
And glued under the base.
292
December 31, 2023
Ready for inspection.
293
December 31, 2023
The bottom plate is now finished.
294
December 31, 2023
I think that it represents a neat conclusion to the bottom.
295
December 31, 2023
Now I’ll continue on the sides.
296
January 8, 2024
Happy New Year and it can go on.
I’ve made a lot of progress with the pages.
First I cut the armor plates with which I will cover the surfaces.
297
January 8, 2024
Fits.
298
January 8, 2024
By the way, the styrene plate with the X is not a plate but the gauge with which I always mark the same recesses.
299
January 8, 2024
A few more squares spread out.
300
January 8, 2024
I attached the top plate with a little overlap, which conceals the gap nicely.
301
January 8, 2024
And in the front, of course.
302
January 8, 2024
Base color on it
303
January 8, 2024
Here’s the overhang again.
304
January 8, 2024
This should ensure that the maintenance flap is well covered. I will probably create a locking device using a magnet.
305
January 8, 2024
Left side finished.
306
January 8, 2024
And the right one.
307
January 12, 2024
Do you know that?!
The pages are finished…pffff.....?
When I looked at the Dio from behind, something was missing.
308
January 12, 2024
It still needed a little more substance.
And with this technical surface, what’s better than pipes?
That’s right, more plumbing.
So I took out the hot air dryer again and quickly made some.
309
January 12, 2024
I put another one in front of it and now it’s more consistent on the sides in my opinion.
Now just need to be aged.
310
January 13, 2024
Not much will happen on the back wall of the diorama, as you can only see a little of it. The surface will probably mainly be decorated with large armor plates.
Only on the sloping top plate should a little structure round the whole thing off. That’s why I got a few delicate steelwork girders from the railway model making sector, which are supposed to end in a bracket I printed.
311
January 19, 2024
Another little update.
312
January 19, 2024
The steelwork supports are primed, glued and the left side is finished.
313
January 19, 2024
Now the armor plates in between are missing. But it’s the weekend and I hope to have this section finished by Sunday.
314
January 20, 2024
I’m making good progress.
315
January 21, 2024
The back wall panels were still missing.
316
January 21, 2024
Here I made it easy for myself with the extremely large units. You can hardly see any of it afterwards anyway.
317
January 21, 2024
All the little squares are still missing.
318
January 21, 2024
And the view from the front. The fan blades are mounted just above the large structures on the bottom.
319
January 21, 2024
I think that rounds off the view of the top plate well.
320
January 25, 2024
And again a small update is inserted.
I have installed the last big panel and the end is near… ?

First the locking mechanism for the maintenance hatch. It now closes tightly with two small, strong magnets.
321
January 25, 2024
Preshading of the upper armor plates.
322
January 25, 2024
Base coat on it.
323
January 25, 2024
And here are the last two armor plates. Cut, cleaned and glued.
At the top, the small squares have already been given their lighter base color to increase the contrast.
324
January 30, 2024
The back has two filters and very slight chipping.
I don’t even know if I still do dirt running.
325
January 30, 2024
But now the last segments have been added to the front.
The upper laser…
326
January 30, 2024
And the one on the big truncated pyramid.
The cover for the falcon holder is also designed.
327
January 30, 2024
All parts are now installed.
328
January 30, 2024
And again in total.
329
February 4, 2024
The dress rehearsal took place today.
The falcon was screwed onto its threaded rod one last time for testing.

I did some light chipping and fading on the base plate and am now checking to see if anything is missing anywhere.
Take a look at the bird.
330
February 4, 2024
The front laser looks in exactly the right direction for me.
331
February 4, 2024
The height and angle of the falcon looks good.
332
February 4, 2024
Of course, it is unnecessary to paint any further details in the middle.
333
February 4, 2024
There is still a little aging missing on the lower plate, front edge.
334
February 4, 2024
Sides look good too.
335
February 4, 2024
And the upper laser also shoots in the general direction of the falcon.
336
February 10, 2024
The plate had to be placed on its back one last time to be able to do the details at the top.
But this time carefully supported on a foam.
337
February 10, 2024
Then off to the airbrush cabin. So as far as this huge structure goes.
338
February 10, 2024
All parts finished painted.
339
February 10, 2024
So, that concludes my construction report. I’ll take some decent pictures of the model this weekend and then present them to you.
It was a great pleasure for me to embark on this journey with you into a galaxy far, far away.

Danke Torsten.
Ich werde mit den Filter und Washing Farben noch ein wenig experimentieren um das ganze noch ein bisschen lebendiger zu bekommen. Das kann ich an der Unterseite recht gefahrlos machen, da man die im Diorama kaum sieht.

@ Michael
Ich mag unaufgeräumte Arbeitsplätze nicht. Da ist man nur am Suchen.
@Torsten
Das sind selbst gefertigte Aufnahmen für die Mandibeln. So kann ich sie besser anfassen und lackieren. Einfach ein Stück Gewindestange in ein Kunststoff- und Stahlprofil gesteckt und verschraubt.

You're even building a Diorama for this? Dang. Might need a separate coffee table / display space for this. Looking forward, though, this thing looks great. Recently bought one as well for quite cheap and am looking forward to building it.

19 January 2023, 09:20

Jörg Schäfer
Danke Dash.
Da ich sonst Schiffe von über einem Meter Länge baue, kann der hier auf dem Nachttisch Platz nehmen. 🙂

Stunning. I love the gouge on the underside and the contrast as you flip from the weathered underside to the pristine topside between pic38-39 is a stunning contrast highlighting the work you have put in there. Amazing and inspiring stuff 👍

11 April 2023, 09:16

Treehugger
Q: Unsure if OP said anything about this, but are the LEDs linked in a serie, or are there multiple wires for all the LEDs?

11 April 2023, 10:16

Jörg Schäfer
Manny thanks..
Two LEDs each are soldered to a cable, since I only had two outputs, Treehugger.

11 April 2023, 15:12

Treehugger
I have yet to fiddle with LED's for my Enterprise NCC-1701 refit, but I did learn from some place that, if one place LEDs in a serie, then if one LED fail, they all fail. So probably best to have serveral wires around instead of one loop for such LED projects.

Another thing to worry about, is not having the LED die too soon, but I guess that might be just some calibration thing if building all this stuff from scratch.

Heh I invested in a digital power supply for LED projects some years back, but haven't gotten around to using it yet.

11 April 2023, 16:31

Jörg Schäfer
I'm not particularly worried about the LEDs.
They won't often be glowing in the finished model. Maybe at an exhibition or when there are visitors. A permanent light is therefore not provided. It's just a nice gimmick for me

12 April 2023, 08:02

Nice progress, it's looks better and better 👍

13 August 2023, 08:27

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you Torsten.
It's easier for me now too.
At the beginning I really thought that I would never get the huge free space filled 😅

13 August 2023, 09:04

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastisches Dio bisher, Jörg, die Macht ist stark in dir 😉

Danke Dietmar. 😄

Dash Rendar
This will be so amazing when done. Quick question, are you planning some sort of protective case for it as well? Or will it sit in a display cabinet?

14 August 2023, 16:25

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you.
Like my ships, the model will go under a display case.

14 August 2023, 16:47

Dash Rendar
Getting better and better, still watching! Keep it up!

The base is getting better and better, it could have been used in the movies!

Michael Kohl
I am absolutely no fan of all this Star Wars, Treck, Shmeck, Heck stuff. But the way you build up layer upon layer of details into a very convincing composition is fun to watch. I am sure that the result will impress even me.

21 September 2023, 09:18

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you guys.
Yes Michael, you have to like that. When I was 10, my father took me to see this film and since then I've been into the stuff, along with warships.
And building this Diroama was simply a challenge for me that I enjoy.

1 November 2023, 09:13

Didier
Wahou !
Fantastic work 👍

1 November 2023, 09:26

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you.
I actually want to try that. I think the last time I was at the EME was in 2014.
If I get the model ready by then, you can count on me. 😉

1 November 2023, 09:51

Spanjaard
I am planning to be there, so i hope to have the pleasure meeting you and seeing this amazing dio! 🙂

1 November 2023, 10:48

Davide Vitali
This is astounding! If I recall correctly, kit-bashing is also what has been done on the actual Death Star model that was built for the movie in 1977.

22 November 2023, 13:44

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you.
Not only the star, but also the falcon were realized with this system.
The guys from ILM were the creators of all of today's aging and scratching methods that we as model makers know and appreciate.

23 November 2023, 08:58

Robin (WhiteGlint)
A lot of grey but it is not boring at all to look at! 👀 👍
This looks great, and is full of details.
