Khetanna - Jabba's Sailbarge - Scratchbuilt Custom

UPDATE:


http://swspaceclub.com/wbobafett/my-collection/customs/khetanna/khetanna2#16okt2014


I forgot to show you the additional pictures I made the next day. First thing I noticed when I came back from loading the batteries was: Klaatu was drunk and Weequay made the usual trouble...kids...eh??

Have I mentioned that the bar is also lid from behind?

So this will be the toughest update for me! We are moving again....that means no more updates for who knows how long. I promise to be back and finish this one day, but for now I have lots of other things to do. The ship is packed well into 5 boxes. I hope nothing breaks or gets lost.

I hope the new place provides a decent space for you to work in. Look forward to the future updates :)

Good luck
 
I've just gone through this thread and I just had to say WOW. The detailing is amazing. I really look forward to following the completion of this awesome sail barge.
 
Hey no more bumps!!!! :evil:

I get all excited thinking its gonna be another update :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its a great thread Leon, bookmark it :wink:
 
DONT SHOOT ME......THIS IS NO UPADTE!!! :lol: :lol:

I know...it has been a long time...and there is not one single step done to the Khetanna...sadly. I thought it is maybe a good idea anyway to say high and give an update on the status! ;) :D

After moving I needed to repair a lot of my other stuff (still ongoing) and also wanted to build another display cabinet for my collection! I also needed first to build up the collection "room" (more a niche) again with the cabintes and dioramas...as said...some stuff got sadly damaged and needed repair.

Here are a few pics:

1. Building up the cabinets:

2. Washing my collection...still ongoing...it's about 1000+ figures and also some ships.....darrrrrnnnn

3. Building a new cabinet for the ships. I used two Billys ....second one shortened and glued together...now they are double deep and the shleves can be varied very good for that kind of use....the lightening is now finished! 9 meters of LED stripes...LOL

4. Sigh...the hardest part...my very old Tantive diorama. It was heavily damaged while moving. I wanted to redo some stuff anyway, but seriously...the time I have now put in this... I could have done it completley new.....and muuuuuch better. It is the most frustrating thing I have ever done.
I needed to redo the broken parts. I wanted a new color all over it because there went some things wrong the first time. I wanted more parts actually lit....not only painted etc etc etc...but most important: I gave the thing sort of stands for figures and I hate them by now. They had to go:


Filler and sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding.......sanding.....

Preparing for the black layer:

...but before doing it I did some construction "holes" to the floor panels:

Preparing for the white layer:

Done.....only some additional paint and the gloss is missing now:

...but what the heck is this??? Ahhhhhwwww...dang...again...I remember now...that happened before. Thnis whole piece is an experiment...an the only thing it can do is troubeling me....over and over again....frustrating to the limit:

At least the new lit parts will get good I think:

Nice update. Such a shame about the damage- absolutely gutting :( Was it damaged by the removal company? Hope they've coughed up some compo if so! Looking forward to seeing this when it's all finished- your skills are amazing!
 
Great to see a post Wolff hope your settled in.

The damage is a shame, but then again your attention to detail is fantastic as always, the diorama is looking great, love the cabinets, and the figure shower room :)

Love the ships with the red lighting looks superb

Great pics
 
Thank you all for the nice words guys!!! :D

Thanks buddy.....I hope to give the Hoth stuff some blueish lightening....need some experiments for this. For now I can choose every color I want for the whoile cabinet. Anyway...the ships need some extensive cleaning and some repairs.....I will also sell some that are not shown....shame...but well....
