1/350 Gozanti Cruiser MASTER

[nicholassagan]

Some of you from SSM might have seen the thread over there, but for those who haven't, I'm working on a master for the Gozanti Cruiser, seen in the background @ Mos Espa in Episode I.

I still need to scrub them up and get a layer of primer on before getting the real work done. BUT they all snap together REALLY cleanly and neatly. Razz

Looks like some really nice detail on this little guy.

 

[nicholassagan]

got some primer on...

 

[Grendels]

That looks nice, pretty detailed for its small size!

 

[Biskup]

Looks like cool little ship.
Ow no wait it is a cool little ship ;D
Nice work so far.
Cheers

For such a small scale and dimensions it has great sharp detail, looks pretty awesome.
Job well done so far, buddy!

 

[Igard]

Lovely detail. Looking forward to seeing this completed.

Sweet detail

Got a lot more done this weekend...this update is long overdue...

Sanded and re-primed the top & bottom hulls, filled in the undercuts on the top hull, added a little more beef to the wings, added some larger paneling to the wings, smoothed and added a bunch of detail to the main engine (now ready for final priming coat), scribed and paneling the whole bottom half, sanded the side engines smooth and added the scribing template to the top half. The bottom half is ready for it's final priming coat, too.

Scribing for the top half is going to require a very light touch...the final result should NOT be a look resembling the paneling on many Titanium Series ships. It should be pretty fine but at the same time deep enough to catch the light just right. If all goes well, the final coat of primer should clean them up perfectly.

 

[Grendels]

Nice the scribing looks good!

 

[Igard]

I didn't know scribing like that was even possible. Superb job with that. You're making this look alot bigger than it really is.

 

[nicholassagan]

Got some more scribing done on the upper hull. I added some more PE details along the trench sides, etc. Getting really close to finishing up on this reeeeeeeal soon. Just have to finish up the engines and the sensor dishes.

 

[Igard]

Cool! I'm looking forward to the final result. Great wee build this. Liking the PE!! 8)

 

[NecronautDrummer]

This is turning into a real gem of a build! Nice!

 

[nicholassagan]

And I'm all done!!!!!!!!! Finished up the dish arrays and Future coated everything! Nice and shiny and ready to cast!!

 

[Grendels]

A nice little ship full of details!

 

[Leighbo]

Absolutely awesome, some real fine work here

 

[Igard]

Superb work Nicholas. 8)

Got some preview kits in the works!! I finally got some of the first castings of my 1/350 Gozanti master and they are SPOT ON! JPG Castings will hopefully have a batch of these ready for Wonderfest. The fit for all the parts is spot on, the detail is EXACTLY what was on the master. Jimi even used a new sample batch of resin that is really easy to work with.

SO, I’m doing a little preview buildup dio for display at Wonderfest. The base is a styrofoam asteroid I made a while back so I’m going to set this little dio up as a ‘smuggling/mining’ operation of sorts. I’ll try and get the base coat on these bad boys over the weekend.

Also, while these guys are hollow to allow for lighting, I will not be putting any LEDs in them….THIS time. Once another batch comes my way I’ll probably turn some tricks on it. You know how I love to light little things up…Without further ado:

Good grief, you're a busy man.

Looks excellent, Nick. I love the base.
