Absolutely incredible post ! Great analysis pictures. How did you draw the vehicles outlines ?

THX :)

Well being the perfectionist I am, I'm not satisfied with the available blueprints on SW books as sometimes they are wrong, or simply they doesn't exist, so most of the time I draw them myself. To do so I have to recreate a side view with photos of the model or screencaps from the movies, consider perspective effects and other problems such as different existing models for the same ship, and then trace over it like this:

I would love to see the model they used for this shot, much less to see someone do a drawing or mock-up of how the Executor would look from a front "dead-on" angle.

Something like that:

I made this for my fan project about scales, patchworking these pictures.

Other than the Executor I've done it for the regular ISDs, the moon cal ships, the y-wing, the Tydirium shuttle, the Medical Frigate (what a beauty ;) ), the Rebel Transport, etc… And also some background ship such as the ANH(SE) Imperial Landing Craft "Sentinel", the Mos Eisley Mobquet A-1 Deluxe Floater, Mos Eisley TX-3 Airspeeder, the Dornean Gunship (background ship in battle of Endor).

Here are some examples of what I do (sorry for the low def, photobucket auto resizes them grrr):

Tell me what you think…
