Started working on the figures. Started with Luke, the figure from the hasegawa set just didn’t look the part.
So after a routine head transplant Luke looks the part now
Then started on Leia, Took a micro razor saw and cut her legs off to take her from sitting to standing.
Thanks for looking in.
Looks great Clint.
Nice work there on the figures. Takes some guts to cut them up with a razor saw but you can get any pose you want with a little work! [Y]
Thanks guys, I’ve repositioned figures before but they was 1/35th trying to do it at 1/72 is a real headache. I’ve also came down with the flu and anytime I tilt my head down my sinuses start running so I’m stalled for now.
I wanted to add a troop transport to the diorama so looked up the size of the prop then worked them to 1/72nd and made up a sketch for it. I used them cheap for sale plastic cards you can get at the hardware store a lot cheaper then getting styrene sheets from evergreen. Then added some bits from the spare box and brass wire. It’s not the best but after some putty, sanding and primer I think it will fit in good.
Thanks for looking in.
Oh cool, looking forward to seeing the transport all painted up!
Some nice work going on here Rambo. It’s an ambitious project that you are doing a great job on.
I’m really liking your snow speeder.
That troop shuttle looks like it needs to be a Zamboni.
Echo Base is getting close to being finished just some small details left to go like blocking off the sides so you can’t see the wiring. Started with building a small treadwell droid.
Then painted up the two Gonk Droids and two of the R2 units all are 3d printed from shapeways.
Then added everything to the base positions still are not final I will probably fine tune them later plus I need to find a new Chewy the kit figure was just awful.
And finally a video showing all the lights going I’m sorry for it being upside down but for some reason youtube fliped it and I’m new to uploading to youtube and have no idea how to flip it back.
Thanks for Looking in all questions are welcom.
Outstanding work and very cool looking. Where are you going to display this when done? Have a place in mind yet?
Thank you Bakster, I’m goin to be adding some shelves to my model room this weekend on both sides of the room one of them will be dedicated to all my Star Wars builds.
Very cool… That is an awesome dio that needs to be displayed and enjoyed. Thanks for sharing this build with us.
Everything is coming together wonderfully! [ht]
