beautiful work thanks for posting the WIPs

[Silent Invader]

Outstanding work 

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks again chaps 

Surely an Imperial Gozanti Transport!

Nah, one of the ones from the most recent Mandalorian episode.

I'll do a Gozanti in a smaller scale eventually 

[Damas]

You've got the ITT and the new Marauder, both could be nice!

[OSHIROmodels]

This one (or a derivation thereof).

[Silent Invader]

I very much like that 

[Michi]

This one (or a derivation thereof).

I wonder why they didn’t use those iconic Lambda shuttles.

[OSHIROmodels]

Lambdas are more of a generic transport whereas this is is more of a dedicated drop ship.

[Tordelback]

Lambdas are more of a generic transport whereas this is is more of a dedicated drop ship.

Plus they're developing the visual links to the First Order, following on from Snoke-inna-jar.

[gamer Mac]

This one (or a derivation thereof).

Looking forward to seeing what you do
have you any other photos or details?

[OSHIROmodels]

Just a few more screen shots I’ll put up later if you want?

I got a bit distracted looking for a particular bit for the crane and stumbled on a Revell kit of Slave One. Always thought of doing it as a standard Firespray class but unfortunately there’s a substantial part of the hull missing...



 

So, not to be deterred I’m going to make it into a Firespray XL 

It’s nicknamed ‘The Coffin’, hopefully for obvious reasons 





It’s apparently 1:160 which is close enough to fit with the 1:144 fighters I’ve got.

The grey stuff is filler and once it’s been sanded off I’ll scribe the hull plates and add some gubbins. The cockpit will be in the same place as the original but it’ll be angular instead.

[Cubs]

Look over there, a squirrel!

[Daeothar]

Look over there, a squirrel!

 

So recognizable, yet also true...

[OSHIROmodels]

Aren’t we all 

Got some panels on (decided against scribe lines) and might get the cockpit in place tomorrow.




I’ll have to sort out a custom flying base for it. There’s a handy little slot in the back where the naff Revell one should go so that should do it.
