1: Felt like doing a Star Wars one
2: One of the ones on my shelf
3: Every Slave 1 done in minecraft looks very basic to be perfectly honest, I tried googling to see if anyone to made a good one to no result =)) There's some amazing Death Stars, Millenium Falcons, Walkers and Star Destroyers I have no hope of coming close to, so I felt I could do this one a bit of justice..
Please visit Veteran 95 and have a wander around it! There's an entrance at the bottom, or at the back on the mine shaft.
The model! Yay!
I will do this again. I was really happy with just filling in areas knowing the outer shape was pretty much ok.
Was a lot of detail here and difficult curves so I did this first
Next I did the wings(easiest) and played around with trying to get the front the right shape..
Finally on the outside I did the front
Spent about 4 hours inside as making it hollow would be a bit disappointing, used an online picture as the model cockpit isn't true to the actual thing.
There is a cockpit on the top floor, a guard chamber below that, then the cargo hold below that (you can also see the mine layer inside the hold on the back of the ship), then a hatch to a maintenance shaft at the very bottom.
It's in one or two of the movies, and you can see at about 2.30ish especially the ship is really weird because it lands horizontal.
