Death Star Corridor

Amazing as always dorgmal!!!!

Really great work, and the photos look fantastic! One question: Did you cut every single one of the oval lights out by hand with an exacto knife? I've always wanted to do exactly that, but the thought of all that knife work turns me off big time!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That looks pretty close to a screen shot. Awesome work!

Hopefully get some shinny flooring this week

In answer to the question about the ovals light panel thingys, I used a router, it took chuffin ages and some a a bit rough as you can see if you look really hard. But I over exposed the lights and used a narrow depth of field when I shot some of the pics to hide the rough edges.

Never underestimate the power of the Photoshop...

Anger leads to hate, hate leads to photomanipulation...

Ah, just do it - to hell with the consequences!






Hallways looking very nice BTW. I see what you mean about still getting a few rough edges with the router. It's driving me nuts. I've tried hand cutting, drilling, using templates. I've tried foamex board, card & Hardboard. They all end up in the bin!
Gonna give it one more try with wood - I figure I can drill neat precise circles either end with my pillar drill, then jigsaw the straight edges - gonna take ages and raise my bloodpressure, but I will have a Death Star Corridor one day!

MDF 3mm, thats what I should have used. Double it up and make sure that u have a good blade. I have learnt from my mistakes!! LOL.

Or plasticard, but I have no idea how that will take to being routered!

I've been using the dremel for the rounded portions.

Mark,
I'm not sure what you have over there, but here Walmart carries 'for sale' signs pretty cheap. Pretty much the same as styrene. If you use the back and hit it with a black high gloss spray paint it will give you the shiny floor effect.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Cheers anzik, I think the for sale sign stuff is called corriflex. Gothikus put me on to some shinny card which looks pretty cool.

Think O might get Maul out and fire up photoshop!!

[galactiboy]

I think photoshop is acceptable when it comes to blades

Looks amazing as always man... really great stuff! BTW, did you get your Jabba in yet? Hoping there's a dio in his future

LOL :emperor

it does make all the difference to the blades though and coupled with that great lighting you have going on in those last few pictures, it gives a real cinamatic feel to them. Chap!
