Probe Droid Hyperspace Pod LR232

Me too! Me too!

The only thing I didn't freestyle was the placement of the first engine bell piece - I wanted to have that one dead center:

moffeaton · 03-20-2010, 11:11 PM

Done!

Beautiful build up Jason, very well put together, and again, looks amazing naked.
We'll have to work on a full parts list, maybe a key, and a full instruction manual someday

Seriously guys, its right there, in black and white, on Jasons magnificent build up....do maybe a little bit of work for yourselves and have some fun on IDing it?

Looks Great!

Instead of assuming you're at a sit down buffet, how about showing you're willing to do a little work? These are 5 staple kits, readily available, and relatively inexpensive save one. 8Rad, Morser, Quad Gun, etc.,...

My suggestion is to take some of the pics that have been posted, start your own thread, and label the parts you can ID. Maybe even assemble some parts. Then it might be appropriate to ask for a little help.

I doubt you're going to see a parts list posted anytime soon based on the effort you've put forward.

Super clean work J ! even unpainted it looks fantastic !

propologist · 03-21-2010, 08:04 PM

thanks all...

MonsieurTox · 03-21-2010, 08:35 PM

Propologist, besides the plastruct parts and the T-34 wheel, you can find all the parts used on this pod here :

http://studioscale.com/kitscans.htm

This one is an easy model to ID for a first attempt I guess

To help you, I would say that most of the parts come from 3 different kits (of course you'll need multiples).

moffeaton · 03-21-2010, 08:37 PM

Just go to http://www.studioscale.com/kitscans.htm and dig in - it's a good crash course in the "cornerstone" kits.

Like this one - see the parts needed?

LOL - Julien, we think alike!

propologist · 03-21-2010, 08:40 PM

thanks guys , it's something I want to start getting the kits together for. Something to get my feet wet before I jump into anything larger.

Prop, I know it can seem to be boring looking for the parts, but once you've started, you can stop yourself !! And you'll try to ID ever bigger model, and that's from my pov -and I guess from most of the guys who posted in this post and from several other RPF member- the fun part... even more on a model like this one. And like Allan said, after you found several parts and that you're still missing a few, feel free to ask and I'm sure you'll get answers to your questions. Another good point Allan pointed is to show pics of your build, that really helps to get help from other I think !

Sorry for the hijack Jason !

Not sure why I would miss it? Maybe you can explain that to me?

And, of course, I already gave you 3 kits for this build. Did you even bother to read what I wrote?

You want:

1/72 Hasegawa Morser Karl
1/35 Tamiya Schwerer Panzerspahwagen Sdkfz 232 (8Rad)
1/35 Tamiya 20mm German Flakvierling 38 MIT Sd.Ah. 52
1/25 Tamiya Russian Medium Tank T-34 Type 85
Plastruct LF-416
Plastruct VHE-40

Plus one other kit I'll be happy to tell you about once you show some progress.

It's a great prop to wet your beak on... but good lord - it's a GATEWAY DRUG!!!

propologist · 03-21-2010, 10:07 PM

sorry for adding all this to the thread. I felt someone would PM me all you guys said instead of adding it to the thread. I am going to edit it out so your thread is clean. I do apologize for the question and response. Imag. just came off a bit touchy to me and I guess i did too.
My model skills are meager at best and Tox and a few other have inspired to wade into the kiddie pool and pick it up again .I will never be able to achieve you guys skill but i want to try to do fun and as accurate as possible. Lord knows I would kill to be able to do the Tie Tank i have always seen in sketches but that is a whole 'nother thing.
