Death Star Turbolaser diorama

[Wulfenray]

Well, all the modules are already in place!!, so technically the tower and surface is all finished.!.

It only remains to place the lower module (already finished) once I solder the cables to the connections where the ships are located

All sides of the base will be covered with black plastic sheet

Excellent job

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks you joberg!

Fantastic work mate... absolutely stunning !
Can’t wait to see it all assembled

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks gedmanc66!

I will put photos all assembled next week. First I have paint and weather some pieces that must be assembled once everything is in place, because in the places they go they could break if they were attached to the large modules when i put them

 

[Wulfenray]

Finally, all the tower and surface is finish!!!

The only thing left is to put the LEDs in the small holes in each section of the tower, but that will be the last thing, after finishing and lighting the ships as well.

I also have already made the connections on the surface where the Ties Fighter would go

I have been working a lot on the TIES Fighters, they take a lot of work to make them more faithful to the original model.

Photo-etched parts help a lot in the detail, but even so, I have had to make small pieces for details and vary in shape others of the model itself, which are made incorrect.

I will put photos soon, as soon as I have all the photo-etched in place. it's 2 TIES Fighters, so the work is double.

Fortunately, the x-wings do not take so much work, only in the cockpit, but I already did that work a long time ago, the work will be to illuminate the entire interior, I am not an expert in electricity or lighting, in fact it is the first job I do with LEDs....I hope this does not give me many problems.

Well, until the next update!

 

[joberg]

Sharp and beautiful

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks joberg!

 

[gedmac66]

Fan-bloody-tastic !...

 

[Wulfenray]

Yes gedmac66!

 

[acesh007]

Wow, it looks really good. I had no idea the scale of this until I saw it next to your chair. That is massive.

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks you acesh007

Some post back I put a photo with my mother next to her. Is almost as tall as her

 

[JediMichael]

That has turned out really awesome and looks completely out of place in the room.

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks JediMichael!

I will place the diorama in another room

Update with the work in the ships

The work on the TIES has consisted of making small holes (0.3 mm) in the fuselage that the original model had, placing photo-etching, making shapes with a punch in some pieces, paneling lines and sanding some panels that were dimensioned and are flat in the original model. I have also had to make some small pieces in plasticard of which the model lacked.

I have had to do all this 2 times, since there are 2 TIE fighters

In the cockpit I have taken the liberty of making it to my liking, since in the movie you never saw the front panel. I still have to detail the pilot control joysticks

 

[joberg]

Wow...the detailing is out of control...but I love it

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks you joberg!.

 

[gedmac66]

A fantastic undertaking with the spacecraft ( like the rest of this beautiful build ), some of which won’t be seen/acknowledged once completed , but your attention to detail won’t go unnoticed by yourself or those who’ve had the opportunity to enjoy your sharing of this wonderful project !

 

[Wulfenray]

Thanks you gedmac66!! always for your words

A little update of the pilot flight controls:

 

[TazMan2000]

Boy, that sure does take up a lot of floor space. Excellent work on the detailing of the TIEs.
