With regards to the details of how the kit parts breakdown, there are several large pieces and just about every piece interlocks with at least 2 others. Many of the original parts featured include Yamato, Junyo and other ship hulls, Bf109 and Hurricane parts, a mass of tank parts from Pattons to Bulldogs, a pile of modern jet aircraft (A-10, F-14, F-15, F-16, Mirage), and of course the telltale massive Saturn V parts. While every part is not 100% identified, the approximation comes within the 95±% percentile both in terms of identification and replication. Hours upon hours were spent pouring over reference material, both public and private, in an effort to recreate as much of the detail featured on the donor kits as possible. There were however a few tricky spots where the kind folk of modeler kinsfolk stepped in. Literally.with the 1/350 kit there are 100 3D printed parts! The smaller the scales, the fewer the parts (the 1/2256 has 8-10 parts). Experience with the software has proven that with persistence and attention to one's work a solid output can be generated. There are also a couple one-off projects in 1/900 and 1/500 but more on that in a later update.Īll of this modeling was basically done in SketchUp, which some would call a fool's errand.

Better yet, it is the basis for some forthcoming model kits, which WILL be the most accurate model kits to date. This is the most accurate independent rendering to date of the EF76 Nebulon B Escort Frigate (Medical Frigate Redemption in The Empire Strikes Back and most recently Rogue One). What began at least a year or more ago has culminated in a sort of magnum opus of 3D craftsmanship. I have begun to pull away from the Event Horizon of this project.
