Hi! I'm Jay Machado. I'm an asset supervisor in the Digital Model Shop at Industrial Light & Magic and author of the blog Falcon A! I saw this forum mentioned in Facebook and just had to join. Part maps and kit scans like these have been instrumental to me working on ships in the Star Wars universe. You guys are doing the lord's work and I thank you! If I can ever be of any help please hit me up!

I added a section where members can ask for help with part IDs.

Hi everyone,

I'm here from the RPF to learn kit scans and try and identify new parts. thank you!

Here's my 5ft Falcon docking ring.

Could we get separate Group headers like the model section like:
Star Trek:
  Star Trek The Original Series
  Star Trek The Next Generation
  Star Trek Deep Space Nine
  Stat Trek Voyager

Gerry Anderson 
  Torchie the battery boy
  Joe 90
  Supercar
  Thunderbirds
   Stingray
  Captain Scarlet
  UFO
  Space 1999
  Terrahawks

Star Wars:
all Star Wars Movies and shows listed like the others

Battlestar Galactica
Bucki Rogers
Project UFO....
And other main topics as needed an example Would be something along the lines of:
Star Trek the Original Series
    U.S.S Enterprise screen used models
          11-foot model
            3 foot model
            AMT kit
             Catspaw metal model
              2 inch model

  Klingon D7


As stuff gets posted it will be easier to keep it in order if we could have a folder to put things into rather than just a long list of post about everything.

Alright. I’ve had this thing for almost a year. Time to get building. 
   

The 1980 film Battle Beyond The Stars is a seriously guilty pleasure for me, and I wanted models from the film since I saw it in the movie theater - yes, Roger Corman made money off of me.

As studio scale builds go, this is one of the simpler models - of course, figuring out the part ID's took me forever!

References for this ship: essentially, you take a screen-capture of *every freakin scene* this ship is featured in the movie, and stare at them until you see the two Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 232 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 8-Rads joined together to make up the aft fuselage. Then it is just a matter buying 2 of the 8-rads and a bunch of sheet styrene and getting to it!

(as built) Parts List

(2) Monogram F-15 Eagle 1/48
(2) Tamiya. 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 232 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 8-Rad
(1) Lindberg / Glencoe Lunar Lander
(1) Airfix Saturn V
(1) Tamiya 1/35 20mm Flak38 Sd.Ah.52
(1) Tamiya 1/35 German 88mm Gun Flak 36/37
(1) Tamiya 1/35 German Hanomag Sd.Kfz. 251/1
(1) Airfix SRN4 Hovercraft
(1) Hasegawa-Minicraft 1/72 Leopold
(2) 1/24 engine cylinder headers (?) unsure of name, came from old mixed parts box 

-Plastruct 6mm spheres (any 6mm styrene beads should do)

-lots of sheet styrene

I didn't feel like adding lights even though lights (only one, really) are only needed for the main engine at the aft end of the 8-Rad hulls.  I used a wide strip of 3M reflective tape where the light should be.


I was happy with the build, and so was Sybil Danning when I gifted it to her at Wonderfest 2018.  Of course, that means I have to build another one for me...

                                             

Joe Brown reporting in! I've been a scifi modeler since my dad helped me build the TOS Enterprise back in 1969... yep, I'm old.

I've only done a few studio scale builds; the Rag-tag Fleet Eagle-bash ship from Galactica was my first effort.  Cowboy's Freight Hauler and St.Exmin's Valkyrie Dart from Battle Beyond the Stars are builds I'm pretty proud of, and also, the laser-blaster rifle from Starcrash -- technically a prop, but, it made Carolyn Munroe smile and give me a hug, so I'm good with that...

Currently doing half-studio-scale build of the 1977 Filmation Space Academy planetoid that has been eating most of my free time.

There seems to be an issue with emails (including registration) not coming through. You may need to whitelist scifikitbash.com in your email app.
