As I said, I moved on to a Vic-Star. And it has proven interesting to say the least. I chose to stay as close to the original concept art as humanly possible, which means low-quality pencil drawing is all I have. I refuse to base it off of any of the current VSD models since they are all scaled down ISD's with wings, thus, we have this result. (warning: several large images ahead)
-----------------------------------------
Now, for some explanations. Like I said, I'm going by the concept art for this, which means some details one normally associates with a Vic model are different. First...the terraces. Instead of going ISD-style, I replicated the concepts version as close as humanly possible. This means they are shorter (in length) than on an Imp-star, and they have a more 'blocky' than 'dagger' shape to them. Which fits, as this is supposed to be an older design by a different company.
Which also ties into the sensor globes. Instead of making the tower globes like KDY designs (Imp, Ex,
Allegiance etc.) I went with sensor 'domes'. Namely because the concept lacks the tower globes, and (to me) if you look close and kind of squint, there looks like a little sphere on the bridge wing in the concept.
Continuing on the bridge...that has the only thing I carried over directly from another model (in this case, the Empire at War one). Namely the two sensor (I think) devices. The one beside the bridge, and the one on top of it. No idea quite what they are, but like I said...I'm assuming sensors of some sort. Same with the satellite dishes. And yes, I suck at greebling (on the bridge proper)...still quite new at that, and unlike with the last one, I couldn't just use the ISD-II as a basis for it. I had to wing it...and the result...is not quite what I wanted.
And on a final note, we have the weaponry. This is supposed to be a Vic-II, which is why the 'wings' aren't extended up. And also why it has ISD style turbolasers. I figured that, while the sensor domes are different, the weaponry is something that probably would have been standardized as much as possible during the Clone Wars. There are slight differences between the Vic guns I have, and the ISD-I guns they are based off of.
As for the placement...I again worked off the concept. While it doesn't have any gun emplacements shown, it leaves the 'by the terrace' space open, which is why two turrets are there. And there are circles on the wings that I assumed were gun positions, hence the turbolasers there. Now, this isn't going to be canonically correct weaponry wise for a simple reason...the VSD-II supposedly has 20 dual-heavies. I personally assume that means twenty barrels, as I am at a loss on fitting even ten, yet alone 20 dual heavy turrets of any variety on here, without using the underside...which, while it makes sense, is a bit of a departure, especially for such a small design. So I bit the bullet, and decided on just the 8 turrets...16 heavy turbolasers, with smaller weapons scattered across the hull and trench (eventually). I just hope when I start greebling the trench and doing hull plating it doesn't glitch again.
