This is by far your best work to date Wolff, I never even knew about the Rancor sculpture and the Jabba orgy painting!!

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

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!

Holly f***!

Imagine having this when you were a kid?

You would be taking it to bed with you.

This is seriously rocking!

 

[Wild Whiphid]

Holy smokes! :shock: :shock:
Seeing it all put together makes it even more impressive. Looking forward to seeing it painted!

 

[rob71]

:shock: That looks SO impressive and great with the figures added... really excited to see it all completed

 

[Jedi_june]

Awesome! Really can't wait to see it finished!!!!!

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

 

[Jedi_june]

Excellent work Wolf you truly have some talent, the update shots look awesome. The windows look great, great detail.

Can't wait to see the finished product

Cheers
