Hasbro Slave 1 Conversion

[Archive&Future]

I like the 1:35 scale. It just looks right to me.

Yeah it looks close enough I think. The benefit of using 1:35 is the huge variety of figures available; I'll probably pick up some British infantry next week and sculpt me a Fett....any suggestions for better base figures?

Started up on the guns, I printed out a scaled photo of the studio model's guns and worked from those

This assembly is the flak 38 part, 5mm aluminium tubing and the stick of a Q tip

To get the conical duster tips I used these parts from what I think was a 1:20 model car... do model cars come in that scale? I have no idea. They look cool and that's the point

Added some wheels and stuff. I'm going to build the curved body out of milliput and styrene

Little bit messy at the moment, needs some light sanding really. Not looking forward to making another one to be honest haha

Well, it's just another one and not 10 of the same...You could always mold what you have now and make it cleaner

Unfortunately not, the guns are mirrored

yeah,1/35 scale is pretty close,i'm just gonna look around for some 1/35 figures that may be slightly smaller or just trim figures down slightly just to sell the scale.not talking about boba or stormtrooper,just some sort of generic military figure.

Based on the pic I posted earlier - I think 1/48 is way closer than 1/35. But use whatever makes you happy

i would be real happy if i can be convinced it's closer to 1/48 scale so i can display it with my hasbro legacy falcon once that beast is finished being modified

Love it! :thumbsup

I agree that the 1/48 figures appear closer in size.

Regardless, this has been great fun to read through!

Excited to see more of what you do with this! I'm more of a full scale guy, but I've always wanted to get my hands on a Slave 1.

Thanks for the info

Sad, I was just looking at mine and thinking I wanted to start on this as well.
I was just looking for some inspiration.
You should quit playing around with all those Falcons and give boba some love.

One of my custom-friends did a Hasbro Slave One conversion last year - maybe this will help a bit ;-)

I like that..looks really good! Any more info on that mount/stand??

Unfortunately It bugs me to no end the size comparison of the actual ship vs the figure. I was going to tint my lense actually and maybe place a few lights behind it for effect with no visible Boba.
