Scratchbuilt Star Destroyer 1/2222 scale

[scratchy]

Here's the end result of the Secondary Engine, some of the tools that I used. What was particularly helpful when I did the square details around the inner rod ( where the LED will go) was the Richard's razor blade holder. This can be found at your local home improvent store in the wall prep and paint section.


I used this tool for the square details. With the aide of a straight edge and a square, I glued the pieces to a flat piece of styrene and chopped the edges straight, and also at a 45 degree angle at the front. Then I took a file to a few, using my reference image to determine where the notches on five of them should be. I sliced them off the styrene, repositioned and reglued them two more times and chopped some off along the edges to give me a uniform part, while fitting them on the engine.


I added the rest of the details and here's the final images of the engine. I'll make a mold of this part and cast what I need.



Once the casted pieces are made, I'll drill a hole in the front center, turn it around and redrill another wider hole halfway through so an LED will fit snuggly.
