My next project

So I'm still working on the Falcon but I thought I would share with you what I will be making next. I created the Death Star Gunner Station for the 3 inch figure but now I want to make it for the Hot Toys 12 inch version. Below is my 3 inch scale version.

Three weeks of design time, one week of printing parts, and one week of painting. Im finished.

I love it. Subscribed. Update often.

fantastic job !

Thats gorgeous!

Damn, thats impressive.
Make a 1/6th cast for me too..........

That's incredible.

For 1:6 ? Cool great work

Here we go. Started to Print the parts but after I modified them so they would fit on the print bed. This is going to be massive. I'm not to worried about the print lines. I will be using the PLA XTC from Smooth-On to clean up the layer lines. Normally I don't but this model is so big it should affect the details.

The Wheel: Hollowed so I can run LED lights in it.

Very nice! Did you have any blueprint for the 3D printing or did you just make it yourself? Great work man.

More to follow:

This thing makes the Hot Toys 12 inch figure look like a 3 inch figure. Yes this is just a little over 3.5 feet in length.

I'm reprinting some parts at a higher resolution so I don't have to sand as much and making them more screen accurate.
