Star Wars Legends Ship Replicas [Over-Scale and 1:1]

[Viridis00]

Welcome to my shipyard thread. Being the Star Wars fan that I am, I build replicas of ships from Star Wars, just as many other players do. I tend to give focus to lesser known ships from both Trilogies and the EU, small and medium rather than the iconic and capital type ships. All of my builds will be released on the main site and my Mediafire when I feel they have been polished and optimized as much as possible. (downloads coming soon)

My main objective is to be as accurate as possible to in-universe ship size, interior, and armament. That's not always completely possible in the game, so I tend to work on a higher scale most of the time. I do try to keep them as small as possible however. Critique and ship suggestions are always welcome, just know that I work slowly. (for accuracy and because of real life obligations)

Do note that all of my ships look twice as good with the Dirty Space texture pack by Azurite. Check out his thread here. All of my ships will be built with the official Realistic texture pack and Dirty Space in mind.

I hope you enjoy my builds.

Liking that Star Viper. That's one thing I put off because it looked hard to make...

 

[Viridis00]

Cooked up a little something while working on bigger projects.

Z-95 Headhunter added to the OP. The grandaddy to the famous X-Wing. I'd describe this one as a "stock" Z-95 since it appears in many different variations across Star Wars media due to how customizable it apparently is in-universe. Looks quite nice in different color schemes.

Roughly 2:1 to spec, but not quite.

 

[Viridis00]

K-Wing added to the OP. A while back on the old forums, someone had requested that I build the K-Wing. After a lot of adjusting and testing, I think I came pretty close to replicating the look. I couldn't implement the swiveling gun pod on the front or the detachable front module like I wanted without sacrificing aesthetics, unfortunately.

2:1 to spec like my previous Z-95. I think from now on all my small fighters will adhere to a mostly consistent 2:1 scale for a balance of ease of docking and aesthetics.

Whats next?

 

[Viridis00]

Whats next?

Probably either a completely redone Slave II or Hound's Tooth. Or another small ship that I just feel like making. I've been playing Dark Forces a lot, so maybe the Moldy Crow.

I really want to do more work on my Acclamator but I've got finals to worry about at my college, so that makes sitting down for a long period and planning out all the remaining angles and internal structures impossible.

Raven's Claw? It's Kyle Katarns

 

[Viridis00]

Raven's Claw? It's Kyle Katarns

Sure, I'll do a Raven's Claw. I'll do Moldy Crow while I'm at it because Kyle Katarn is the man.

 

[RoosterTheRed]

Hound's Tooth is the stuff, man. Bossk is the stuff.

Fanboying aside, all these ships are fantastic. Props.

 

[Zyphex]

Think you could do an E-wing?

 

[Viridis00]

Think you could do an E-wing?

Yeah, I'll add it to planned builds. I'll complete something like that in between projects because it's relatively small.

 

[Viridis00]

Moldy Crow added to the OP. Scale isn't really well defined with this one, as there seems to be dispute over what is the right size, 29m (Wizards of the Coast game stats) or 16.5m (scale miniature, supposedly backed by Lucasfilm). I chose 16.5 and scaled up, dropping the decimal to 32 and adhering to my 2:1 standards in length. The rest of the ship was a build as I go kind of deal. The interior of the body just "felt right" so I rolled with that. There's not much to go off of besides the in-game model.

Raven's Claw soon to come, probably tomorrow.

 

[Reilly Reese]

Sweet nice job!

 

[Jerry_Brinefield]

Can't wait to see more EU ships!

 

[Viridis00]

I've been working on the Raven's Claw for a bit now, and I just don't know, something feels "off" to me despite my measurements from the in game model being as close as possible. The only thing I really changed was adding 1m more thickness to the top part of the fuselage (measurements have it at like 2m, which would be impossible to enter). I didn't think it would really be too bad at first, but I don't know now. I'm also thinking the nose looks off.

Can I get a second opinion here? I don't know, I might just be over thinking things.

 

[Reilly Reese]

You could use pentas,tetras, and sideways wedges on the nose to make it come to a tip.

 

[Jerry_Brinefield]

I think the problem is that the nose is too blunt. The moldy crow has a more pointed beak that is longer and should end being one block wide as opposed to 3 blocks.

This is Ravens Claw Moldy Crow is done already

Whoops wrong name, I meant ravens claw.

As requested, Raven's Claw is up for download and added to the OP.

As with all the current ships I have, I'll be updating as needed with the weapons update for more accuracy. I had to take a few liberties with Raven's Claw at the moment.

• AMCs on the wing tips will be replaced with lasers when we get them
• Missiles might be dropped all together from the ventral wing cylinders to make space for better laser weaponry (I never remember Raven's Claw using missiles in JKO or JKA)
  
• Red hull in the rear engines will be replaced with red crystal when we get them
• There was no space for a co pilot seat like in the cut scenes, Ravensoft overestimated the interior size. Can't do anything about that sadly.

I enjoyed working on this ship a lot, especially because I got a replica to be pretty fast and protected for it's size. Got to love those big ass engines.

Also, I slightly updated the interior of the Moldy Crow to appear more spacious. I learned a little trick with wedges while working on Raven's Claw that came in handy.

The next ship projects I'll be doing are Hound's Tooth for RoosterTheRed and an E-Wing for Zyphex. After these I won't be taking any more requests until I finish my Acclamator I.
