Sometimes all you need is luck, and suddenly a collaboration happens that allows a LONG back-burner-bound project to come to the front. This is going to be studio scale, but based off a direct study of the 1:1 filming prop. So I am truly sorry to the rivet and bolt counters, but this will be an über-detailed project with a touch of the 1:1, befitting the iconic design. It'll display better that way, and I guess you could omit details and "accurize" it to the true Studio Scale prop if you wanted to. All I can say is that I'm making what I want to have on my shelf, lol!
I still feel the sting of the failed kit that was offered ages ago that turned into a long-term loan, interest free. But enough of that. I'm sure this will hit the Junkyard when it's ready for that - until then, here'll be my documentation of the master pattern that will be created by myself, from the massively awesome 3D work being done in a secret lab, far below the Earth's crust. Or not.
I sent the Cad data less than 24 hours ago and here's where we are now. Amazing!
Main form will be milled out of foam. I'll skin it. We'll progress from there. I even have excellent reference on Luke's ANH rifle so I'm thinking that would be a cool thing to throw on the seat.

1/6 scale right?
