Wish I had these skills, and even moreso - the patience to even attempt these things.

Wolf's sooo good that PonchoBelt had to say it twice :lol: :lol:
Amazing stuff, those cushions look comfortable enough to sleep on. I never knew about the orgy pic or Rancor either, I wonder if that Rancor figure is the actual stop motion puppet they used for filming the rancor vs Luke scene.

Wowzers :shock: ...THANK YOU ALL!!! :mrgreen:
IMO it looks more "Alien" like and could be an "early" design. Hard to tell...no light in there at all, but the "ridge" on his back looks like he has two parallel ones...not one like in the movie?!?!?
Anyway...the Rancor and the relief was not spotted by myself the first time. Other people have spotted this too. Same of course goes for the Ishi Tib Gargoyles, but I guess I found sth totally new today!!! Thinking of building it...hmmmmmm

Thank you....shall I make a rope for it so he can go for a walk with it??? :lol:
Update:

First time all three parts (actually it is five parts) are screwed together. It doesnt fit 100% yet but I guess these smaller problems can be solved easily. And happy me: The windows are nearly done now! Only seven windows left from 42 in total (I am talking from the windows with the slits only...making them is pure pain...LOL).
Hope you like it. Have a great weekend!

This is seriously rocking!

Hey all, thank you again for the overwhelming feedback guys :mrgreen:
I just updated some pictures:
http://swspaceclub.com/wbobafett/my-collection/customs/khetanna/#19july2013
I decided to give the ship more lenght. In my opinion it looked way too stubby even for a toy. So I added 7,5 centimeters to the middle part and I think it looks way better now. Measurements are off I agree but without some changes Jabba wouldn't have fit inside.
Finally all windows are done...finally. I cannot tell you how happy I am right now because making all those windows was pure pain. Some facts (because I had fun counting those today):
It is 5 windows on the deck, 14 on the upper level and 28 on the level below, makes 47 windows with slits in total. 24 are fully movable.
To make those I needed to drill 938 holes, making 938 cuts and the needed to file and sand....and file and sand 469 slits.....it was really hard work.

I even found a way to improve the stability (was thinking long about this because it was already waaay too late as I noticed): high-grade steel wires glued to the windows. It is small enough to be not that distracting and it helps the windows not to bend while opening....or even worse: break into pieces. The construction of the windows is very thin (1,5 mm thick on the outside and the frame is about 1,5-2mm wide) and all the slits make it very instable.
...and now a beer for me...or make it two...:cheers

hahahha....thank you also for the kudos!!
I can always rely on my two biggest fans :lol: :lol: :lol:
UPDATE:
http://swspaceclub.com/wbobafett/my-collection/customs/khetanna/#22july2013
I added the paneling of the hull over the weekend. Gives much to the look IMO.
The paneling and railing of the upper level has to wait. Next up is building the undersurface. Therefore I need to rotated the whole ship to work on it and want to preserve the deck from damage, thats why the whole deck has to wait.
Okay the door may be too complicated....therefore I hope it beeing nearly "invisble".
Thanks for looking

Will be in touch when I get a minute.
Amazing updates, Wolff... it's been fascinating seeing this build progress. You certainly deserved that beer (or two) after completing the windows, looks like tricky stuff- but completed in your usual masterly style. Keep up the good work 8)
