ky-e's 1:1250 fleet

Recommended Posts

I've been putting off making this post for a while now simply because I wasn't sure what the best way to show off my little fleet was, but I've decided I'm just going to put all of my builds into this thread.  I've been working on this fleet for about a year now (well, 10-11 months), it started with a Mon Calamari cruiser and just grew from there. Previously I had been doing all of my ship builds at 1:400 scale, but soon realized that this new scale would allow me to realistically build bigger ships, and a larger variety of them too.

As of writing this post I have finished 28 Star Wars ships at this scale, totaling 19,286 pieces.  I've slowly been working my up to bigger ships, so a lot of those are on the smaller side.  I'll be organizing them in this post by faction and ship, and I'll post updates in the thread as I finish new builds.  I also have instructions for most of these, so I will like to those when applicable as well.

Well, that's it for now!  I hope you enjoyed all the ships, and again I'll be posting new ones in this thread as I complete them so be sure to be on the lookout.  I'm also open to suggestions on what to make next, I have a pretty good list going and hope to make every notable ship I can, but new ideas are always welcome!  Thanks!

Amazing work. Beautiful ships. My favourite is the red Consular Class Cruiser. Well done!

Amazing work.  The details in the Victory Class Star Destroyer and the Assault Frigate Mark I are truly impressive.

Eagerly awaiting Assault Frigate Mark I, that will Go nicely with my 1:1600 fleet. Very nice Work in all of them!

I'm working on those instructions right now, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long!

That's a considerable amount of work :D even just to build it in cad and render it all... I really like some of the designs. Some are not terribly exciting on their own but the fact that they fit the scaled fleet does indeed make it cool!

It would be cool to see some real pictures if you actually have some of the builds IRL. The renders just look... synthetic in a way :)

I am ordering pieces for all of these at some point, and plan on uploading the building processes to YouTube and bringing them to a few conventions!  However as of right now I likely won't be sharing those builds much beyond that.  The reasons why are a much, much larger discussion probably best suited for their own thread, but I'll just say that I've experienced a lot of people on other websites write off my builds because of their digital format, and to be frank at this point it's a bit of a spite thing haha.

@TheNerdyOne_ gotcha, I agree it's better to avoid falling into that rabbit hole in this thread. I just like when the models which are meant to be built from real bricks do get that treatment eventually - I guess something in me want to keep LEGO as much of a haptic thing as possible :)  I'm looking forward to the YT builds. And really... don't let the haters get underneath your skin for this :D

Finished a few new ships, this time from Empire at War: Forces of Corruption.  The Zann Consortium has some really great ships designs, though my headcanon is that Maul uses them with Crimson Dawn in the new canon given their Mandalorian roots and his ties to the planet.

The only thing I wasn't sure about is the size of the Interceptor-IV frigate.  From my understanding it's supposed to be a modified Action IV transport, but Empire at War scales it significantly larger.  I just went with the Action IV size, since it made more sense to me.

Instructions for all of these are coming, but I have to finish the Assault Frigate/Assault Frigate Mk2 instructions first.  Which are in progress!

And a few more!  A long-overdue Imperial ship and some more obscure Separatist ones.

Never been a huge fan of the Carrack-class honestly, but at this point it's kind of a necessity.  The Diamond-class is a ship that I think deserves a lot more attention, so I gave it some.  And finally got all of the Gozanti variants out of the way (well, aside from the new one in TROS, but that will come later).

Also added instructions for the pirate ships I posted previously.  And, while I'm here, might as well show off a couple WIP images of ships I'm working on (some may be done sooner than others).
