My next project

[IzzyMel]

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.

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.

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.

Love your work Izzy. Thanks for continued update pics.

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