Here I've ignored the funny pitch and yaw angles I mentioned in an earlier post, and just put the Blockade Runner in a reasonable attitude in the Star Destroyer's docking bay. Seen here, the Blockade Runner is scaled to 150m long, which makes the rest of the Star Destroyer seem overly large (though still shorted than a mile). The bay I've dreamed up here, which is shown with closed blast-doors on the studio scale model used in filming, would be more than 3 times the size of Docking Bay 327 seen on the Death Star.
Amazing job. Im curious your take where the "gunners room"(The scene "there are no life forms") is on the star destroyer. i always imagined it be on the hangar bay, making the original shot be an impossible room on that ship.

I second that Angel :)

Hi there Angel, busy busy life, I can't be as present on the forums as I would like, hell, I couldn't even continue my work on star wars scales, and look Stinson is doing it in his own wonderful way :D
DeleteWoah this is more an more awesome!
ReplyDeleteWill we see some other size fittings? Like the shuttle Tydirium? I know it doesn't fit very well in either of the ISD bays but just to visualize it would be cool :)
Hey Angel,
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question! One that may have an answer soon. I do actually have the blueprints for the room in question, and I intend to build it.
Marc,
thanks! That's a question for much much later date. I'm trying to limit myself to ANH studies right now, just so that I can stay a bit more focused. One day I'll move on to ESB, and eventually ROTJ, but for now, those are distant dreams. That said, I've obviously broken my own rule here and there... so there's no telling. I will say though that I don't really see an immediate problem fitting the Tyderium... the longer that question lingers in my mind, the more likely I am to have a go at it, so keep checking for updates!
That's ok, whenever you want will be fine for me :)
DeleteMy take was to place them in the side of the ship. and somehow catch the trajectory of the angled pod as it goes. like this https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/600x255q90/593/7hdw.jpg. not the most accurate way but perhaps Sir Stinson can find a better place.

I noticed that you opened the back wall where the trooper is sitting. Are you gonna suggest a hint of some blast doors are closed in each side (like the doors in revenge of the sith) Since in ANH it looks like it.

Hey Angel,
ReplyDeleteCheck out the top edge of the open bay, I decided to have the doors lift upwards. The teeth there are the bottoms of the blast doors.
I had tried to leave a comment about your gunnery station, but I see it didn't stick. I think you have a great solution there! Looks amazing, and whether that's where that station would be or not, it looks like it really could be on a star destroyer somewhere. Great job!
Ah yes! Clever idea and much more minimalistic! Keep it up!

ReplyDeleteHey Steve, you say here that the ISD seem overly large but still shorted than a mile. I was wondering if you could explain further what you based your scaling on here. You mentioned that you made a 150m Blockade Runner. Did you find any incompatibilities fitting the full scale interior sets of the BR inside a 150m BR? And after that how did you scale the Imperial Star Destroyer? Did you go from the 150m BR and then just fit the ISD around it? Or did you take the proportions you found in your previous reconstitution with Sketchup's photomatch? Anyhow, can you tell us what is the resulting length of the ISD in your simulation (and what would the official one mile ISD fit compared to all that)?
ReplyDeleteI know that's a lot of questions :p
Ooops I just realized I sort of asked you those questions already, sorry didn't remember doing it :p so take your time Steve :)
DeleteI'm obviously passionate about the scale of things in star wars, and I feel the precision you put in your work could add more solid data to it's body of knowledge…
Another thing that would be so cool is if you'd make some renders of what it would look like in the movie, the famous underneath the ISD bay shot you used in your previous post, with the BR in this reasonable attitude. So we could compare side by side between the movie and your corrected version.
