Gozanti Cruiser

Starting new project, will build 2 at one time with walk through instructions on build.

Love it! I am hoping that FFG introduces a "capital ship" class for X-Wing Miniatures, perhaps introducing the GR-75 Rebel Transport, the Rebel Corvette (Tantive IV), the Imperial Customs Corvette, and other smaller capital ships that could fit into the X-Wing Miniatures game. Can't wait to see them on the game board! 

[TRamsey 252]

Engines started, Math breakdown is ship should be 6.08 inches long after conversion to 1/270 scale. I will oversize slightly to get more detail at closer to 6 and 1/2 inches.

Engine at beginning stage to rough shape with Squadron white putty. Engine core is modified electrical connector.

I don't. It's impractical for FFG to do so and I don't want to be forced to shell out $50+ USD for an expansion just to get a few choice cards to be compeitive in tournaments.

 

I much prefer large ships to come from efforts like these, where the players put in effort to make beautiful models for their customized games. I also hope for things like this the generic large ship rules I made on BGG come in handy... *shrug*

Wing cut with panel line guides and engine mount mockup for size comparison every thing is measuring out so far.

1st Pattern for hull cut with straight edge and exacto blade.

[TRamsey 252]

 

First hull cut from 015" (0.4 mm)  thick sheet styrene. I chose this thickness as it is easy to cut with scissors. Only 3 more to cut and detail for the hull size to follow.

very nice project, thanks for sharing

 

I'll be chicking this out for sure!

[TRamsey 252]

Side hull pieces clamped together for sanding to ensure the same size is achieved for all four pieces.

Great project idea!

[Stormtrooper721 226]

I been seeing these while watching Season 3 of the Clone Wars and have been really liking them. I think that FFG should introduce a Fringe faction that could include these and be used by any faction.

[TRamsey 252]

 

Cockpit windows cut and outline for panel scribes started.

[TRamsey 252]

Lower frame superstructure started.

[TRamsey 252]

Engines mounted to hard points on wings.

[TRamsey 252]

Upper support added to inside fuselage.

[TRamsey 252]

Work on lower fuselage framing continues.

[TRamsey 252]

Upper Fuselage assembled with wing mockup.

[TRamsey 252]

Size comparison to standard Y-wing.

[TRamsey 252]

I am thinking this paint scheme for at least one of the Cruisers.

[Stormtrooper721 226]

Awesome work, TRamsey, just awesome, sir.

[TRamsey 252]

Second Main hull assembly started.

[TRamsey 252]

Thanks the build so far is going pretty well I think I could revise a few things to speed up production if I tried this build again.

[Norsehound 1,816]

Huh, I thought it was going to be larger than it's turning out. So it's not much bigger than a Falcon?

Looking forward to seeing it finished!

[TRamsey 252]

The scale conversion is 7 inches from front to rear. The Falcon is right at 5 inches if I am correct. So yes they are pretty close.

I think anything over 12 inches seems like a terrain piece.
