Star Wars: Tormentor Class Imperial Battlecruiser Update XIV

Got some work done on the engine section, mostly on the small auxiliary engines. Added a few more bits to the front of the superstructure and did a little more with the hangar. I've kinda stalled on the hangar though, the floor is giving me trouble, not getting the reflections I want, but I'm not going to tinker with it too much longer, I still have the AT-AT bays to finish and I have to finish out the forward portion of the bay. I've decided I'll have two bays (one on either side) in the side trenches. Those will be for bombers, interceptors or anything else that doesn't fit in the regular TIE bay. Next post is going to be Indundator related, and then I'm going to post some fighter stuff. Anyway, here's pics...

Star Wars: Tormentor Class Imperial Battlecruiser Update XIII

Did some rebuilding of the hangar bay. Separated the bay into a larger main bay aft of a smaller bay. The AT-AT's and their carriers work out of the main bay and also the TIE fighter's launch from there. I still have to add in a couple of side bays for some small craft stowage. I'm pleased with how it's turning out so far, still lots of stuff to do but not much more in the way of small details since you won't see those anyway. In fact I put in some doors in the bulkhead at the end of the TIE rack gantry's but I stopped working on them because they're obscured by all the stuff connected to the racks and gantry anyway. So, I determined that TIE's will launch out of the main bay and be recovered in the forward bay, then go down below the forward bay deck for servicing and back up along the tracks to the main bay ready for another launch. There are four holes at the end of the gantry to allow four pilots to enter their fighters at a time. With four racks abreast and conceivably 12 pilots suited up and ready, you could launch a whole squadron real quick (I think). Anyway, here's a couple of pics...

Star Wars: Tormentor Class Imperial Battlecruiser Update XII

Not a lot of new work done but I did install the guns... (on one side anyway, no fair attacking on the opposite side)... a little more paneling done too... I'm going to try and finish off the greebles on the superstructure this week (lol I know... stop...)

Star Wars: Tormentor Class Imperial Battlecruiser Update XI

I'm still working on the hangar bay. Still lots to do there but the main structures are blocked out, now on to some of the smaller details. I'm not going to go crazy though, not likely to have views much closer than this anyway.
