Hey all ?:) ?I've just bought this kit with the intention of making some 40k/Sci-fi terrain pieces out of it, principally a crashed space-craft. ?Here it is, the Revell Republic Star Destroyer:



I must admit I was surprised what a great kit this is. ?I've got a couple of the Star Wars 'Easy Kits' for the express purpose of hacking them to bits and making terrain pieces out of (I've seen this done on another forum), so I was unprepared for the level of detail on it. ?The detail is so great infact, that I will use it for some Epic-scale terrain pieces! ?I've included some miniatures to give you an idea of the scale:



I figured if I cut the main body of the ship in to a number of pieces it could easily represent the fragments of a crashed ship (a bit like the BfM crashed Aquila).

Then there's the additional parts, such as the thrusters could be useful in industrial terrain pieces:



But the even smaller details are perfect for Epic pieces:




This is a very nice kit - it' so nice infact that I'd like to get some more of these kits for more terrain pieces - and even to make the actual model, it's so good! ?I just thought this might give somebody some useful ideas, thanks for looking! :) ?:cool:

Shame to use that as terrain, actually - too nice to not build it as it should be. :)

How cool would that be as a crashed spaceship in EA games!

Some of those pyramid looking peices could make some interesting scratch built monoliths...

Very nice model.  Revell do some nice kits.

Much better than the airfix WWII battleship I got for turrets for my titan legion.  No detail at all :(

Can't wait to see what you do with it, so I can steal the idea. :D

Schweet.  I'd probably chop up those detailed bits and add them to industrial buildings.
