Hey fellas, Been working on a couple Star Wars projects and thought i would run them by the experts. Neither are complete with lots of work to be done. The inspiration, other than a relentless 6 year old, was the desire to build true scale toys for his four inch figures. I know now why they dont, they are massive and would’nt fit in the stinking store!!! Liberties were taken with some detail, especially the walker cockpit, so im sure the rivet counters with be in a tailspin.[:D] ALL comments and critiqes are essential! Sorry the pics are terrible, using my phone, Ill take better ones soon.[:$]It is great to see you guys and thanks for looking.

Hey fellas, a quick update on the guns…thanks for looking

11

SternO, Nice work on the AT-AT and Cantina.You get my vote for dad of the year. lol. I guess it is a good thing your son doesn’t collect the 6" black series figures. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Gamera! Ill have to beef up on my nomenclature…I know the chin guns are heavy cannons, the cheek guns may be medium. Thanks for checking in!

Stephen, many thanks! Oh yeah, the six inchers would require an addition to my house or rented warehouse space…lol…thank goodness for small favors!

Hey fellas, another mini update. Just about finished the medium blasters and all is in place for mounting. A little more detail and a little thinking to attach so they are movable. Does anyone know what color the windsheild is? Some art and some movie stills have it red, is this reflection ? Any input would be appreciated…thanks for looking!

Semper Fi !

I love the lighting effects in the Cantina ! Great job ! T.B.

Wow, awesome job there on the ‘head’. If you’re going to be putting action figures in there I think I’d just leave the windscreen clear so you can see them. Though I guess a light red tine couldn’t hurt.

Semper Fi T.B, and thanks for checking it out .ill be pulling her out of moth balls after I finish this beast! Thanks again!

Gamera, many thanks! have had a clear peice cut for a while, been looking for a red alternative…the best I have found is a red translucent wrapping papper kinda stuff…have yet to try it. figure it would just glue to my clear screen…we will see… thank you for the input

18

Couldn’t you just tack the red wrapping paper to the clear piece with a little white glue on the corners?

If not Tamiya makes a series of translucent paint, red is X-27 that if you have an airbrush you can just spray on the clear piece to tint it red.

19

Exactly what I was thinking about the red “paper” Gamera, I do have a airbrush and ill look into that paint…interesting, …thank you sir!

Stern0,

It’s coming along nicely. Those cheek blasters look to be spot on.

As for the lens, I think it can go either way (although the red is better looking). Not sure it this is correct, the red tinting has something to do with blast reflectors (so it is not so bright in the cockpit). I don’t know if it does this automatically when the guns fire or if they turn it on when they go into battle.
