cap003My favorite Star Destroyer from Star Wars Episode III:Revenge of the Sith, this is the Venator Class Republic Star Destroyer.

It will have an aluminum custom frame with thousands of kit bashed parts, fiber optics with a photo etched paint template to accurately capture the look of the CGI version seen in the movie.

vanguard_3_hot_pursuit_r02From the cover art of the Star Trek:Vanguard novel Reap the Whirlwind by David Mack.  With the help of the ship’s designer, Masao Okazaki, I scratchbuilt this out of poplar, styrene and bondo to make a master that was molded in silicone, then cast in resin.

I did something different this time with the decals;  using a snap shot of an office building taken at night , I made the window decals for the model, giving  them the appearance of inner detail including chairs, tables and even plants.

Ship designed by Masao Okazaki for the Star Trek: Vanguard book series

Model is 5.75″ long.
