Yep! The may 2013, engage! 8)
As for the KotOR and Mass Effect. For a long time am I planning to build maybe a maco-vehicle from the first ME. A pity there are now models related to this sci-fi universe, there are some absolutely awesome designs there.
As for the the KotOR there are two models which are 100% percent in my to do list.
The first one is the Ebon Hawk
going to use the revell's Mil. Falcon as a base for this build.
For the second I have this kit
I've received it as a present, and overall it is rather nice. But the desing of the ship itself.. Well, can't say I find it to cool.
But I have an idea of using the base shapes of this kit in creating a starship, which design I find one of the most awesome ever. The Hammerhead Republic Cruiser. Love that ship with all my hart
Didn't yet decide which version am I going to build - the original KotOR one, or the one from recent MMORPG -they are both pretty cool.

Yeah, that Hammer Head ship is a fantastic design.
I really like how the bridge windows look in the first pic. Kinda ominous.

100% same thing with me, Mike, seriously
Those windows are the very reason I'm going more likely to build the Endar Spire.
However, the Tentha-class on the lower pic has so awesome looking engines, kinda something from Tantive IV, which I consider coolest starship design ever.
Aaaahhh, so hard to decide!!! ;D

You could always do both designs or a hybrid of the two

Even though we are seperated by millions of miles.....or at least thousands.

Hi everyone!
Sorry for such a long silence, guys, but I was full in the winter exams session in the university.
But finally it over, and I can return to my tank.
Since the last update, I've assembled the main cannon and have got rid of all the seams. Still have to bring in more details to achieve proper accuracy though.
Plus I've painted all the interior parts,that would have been difficult to paint in case I decide to do it after the final assemblies. The inside of the lower section, where the torpedo launchers and repulsorlifts are located, has been given a layer of black paint as well.
You can notice the parts have been already sprayed with Future - so my next step is weathering.
I've also done all the building work over the droid that I'm doing to place in the hatch. Just didn't make the pics of it yet - they are going to be uploaded later today.

Nice update Sol! Man I love all thos designs. I'm realy not into the THE OLD REPUBLIC stuff but the designs of the ships are very cool. I believe theres some talk about the Ebon Hawk getting built in a number of sizes over at Starship modeler.

Love the details Sol,
For the grebblies is there any specific type of model or scale you use more than others e.g Tank, ship, car?
As for those ships, you need to scratch build a big one, then with your super detailing & fiber optic skills you could go CRAZY on the details.
Now that would be cooooool dude.
do it, do it, do it, do it.!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent work mods and detail look fantastic,
great work on the hatch! ;D

Thank you for the kind words, fellas
Have seen the topic You're talking about, John. You know, its just like it always happens: you only have to bring your ideas into the form of words, so to say let them into the world, and (in this case it was like in a matter of a day or so) they start to a appear everywhere, spreading faster then light. Being a physicist I'm quite skeptic about all that esoteric stuff, but with things like this you really start thinking about a unite informational sphere of the Universe and so on :
As a rule I try to put everything I can find to a good use, but there is one kit that I find most ideal for making different grebblies of. It is the Tamia's German Flackvierling gun. Lots of cool details. I think that over the last year I've reaped about 5 or 6 of these kits. And as far as I know, guys from ILM also used that kit a lot. Being quite familiar with it's details now, I always face them while examing the pics of the actual SW filming models.
As for the ships from KotOR - this what You've written is the exact algorithm of my plans Basic shape, lighting and LOTS of details.
The more I'm thinking about the Hammerhead the more this project attracts me. Not 100% sure, but probably this is going to be my next project after I finish this AAT.
Speaking of the AAT.
Here is the slightly modified battle droid, ready for painting. Among the modifications I've made: cutting off the base, remaking the antennas on his backpack, a small cylinder of the restriction bolt on the chest and the changed angle of the left manipulator to hold the small macrobinocular I've also scratchbuilt.
I've also gave the interior details all the cycle of proper treatment - washing, drybrushing, weathering and streaking with AK's rust and oil liquid pigments.
Now its only left to seal it all off with mat finish.

The battle droid is looking great, Sol! Really nice work on that hatch. It's coming together. 8)
I'd love to see the Ebon Hawk built into a model, but that hammerhead cruiser was my favourite ship from KOTOR, that would be incredible to see it built.
