1/4222 Star Wars Fleet

This is where my 1/4222 scale Star Wars Fleet stands at the moment.  So far, I have growing Rebel, Old Republic, and Imperial Navies.  I have recently started a Smuggler's fleet to add to the collection.

Rebel Fleet:

Old Republic Fleet:

Imperial Fleet:

Full 1/4222 Fleet:

1/4222 Imperial Shuttles

Another quick little build for the growing 1/4222 Fleet.  Again from Utar Ships, these little shuttles are amazing for their size.

The first shuttle is the Lambda Class as seen in "Return of the Jedi",  followed by the Sentinel-class seen in the special edition of "A New Hope".

Blockade Runners

Finished pics of the 1/4222 Blockade Runners.

Up first, Bail Organa's Sundered Heart as seen in Episode III Revenge of the Sith.



Followed by Princess Leia's Tantive IV as seen in the opening to Episode IV A New Hope:



And lastly, my rendition of the original Millennium Falcon model:

1/4222 GR-75


"Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?"   Yeah, I really am that nerdy.  Here is a small addition to my growing 1/4222 scale fleet, the GR-75 troop transport with X-Wing escorts.

Here is the size of the X-Wings:


 And now the transport:





Flurry Finished

Finished pics of the Flurry. Had a lot of fun with this one, even if I may have gone blind painting all the tiny fighters for the hangar bay.  Since this carrier is a converted cargo ship I had a decal made with the Soro-Suub logo and the word "Flurry" written in aurebesh(the Star Wars alphabet you see in the movies).

1/4222 Blockade Runners

While I'm waiting on some decals to finish up the Flurry, I decided to work up some 1/4222 Blockade Runners. I have the Sundered Heart(Bail Organa's Ship from Ep. III), the Tantive IV(Leia's ship from "A New Hope"), the original "Falcon", and the Consular class, which I'm going to paint as the Charger Refit.

The first three are Utar Ships kits and the Consular class is an Odyssey Slipways kit.

This is the original model of the Millennium Falcon. It was later changed into the Rebel Blockade Runner when it was decided that it looked to much like "Space:1999"s Eagle Transport. I have modified one of the Utar CR-60s to represent this ship.

 Some up close shots of the Utar RBR. This kit is cast from a 3D printed master and the detail is amazing.




 Lastly, a comparison to the older hand mastered Arvey Model Products Blockade Runner.

I drilled out the engines and am ready to get some paint on these guys. Going to be a busy week.

1/4222 Rebel Carrier "Flurry"

I'm starting work on a lot of 1/4222 ships for my growing fleet.  First up, the Rebel carrier "Flurry".  This ship shows up in one of the first EU novels I ever had, "The Truce at Bakura". It was basically an old cargo ship that had been converted by the Rebellion to be a carrier. 

This kit is by Utar Ships and comes with tiny in scale X and Y-Wings.

 To give you an idea of the size of the fighters. Each X-Wing is only 3mm long.
 A little paint:
 I'm building two Flurrys, one for me and one for the kit producer. Mine features the Falcon, and the other has an assault shuttle in the hangar bay. Each has a full squadron of fighters.


I'm waiting on some custom decals to arrive and then this project should be wrapped up. Final pics soon.
