[Starship Modeler's fourth on-line modeling contest: starships & vehicles from written sci-fi.]

By David Hyde

Wilde Karrde



Scale: 1/880
Source: Various, including Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Vehicles & Vessels by Bill Smith

Also from a Timothy Zahn novel....Talon Karrde's bulk freighter "Wilde Karrde" [length-19"....width-5 3/4" ..height-4 3/4"]. Though widely used in various Star Wars source material this ship has yet to be used in one of our games....perhaps soon.

I used a lot of model mulch from the parts box and a few household items such as razor handles and cash register tape rolls.

This model is of composite design. Since the ship only exists as either pre-production type sketches, game supplement art or in Dark Horse comics, no two pieces of reference are the same. I was able to pick and choose what design feature I liked the most [or was the easiest to build] .
