Awesome work. Are you going to drybrush it to bring out the detail or since the Death Star in both films where it appeared (yes, DS1 and DS2) had very low mileage, are you going to leave it clean?

I was also wondering if you knew if the original prop had mechanics similar to what you are putting in, or where they moved by hand...including the recoil?

Somehow it didn't take the smilies on iPad from the menue.
But serious:
This thing is beyond cool.

If only they moved that quick on the original death star the rebels wouldn't have stood a chance

Yep, 3phase, at that speed the crew inside the turret have to be secured properly on their seat (I was thinking with, at least, a 4 point seatbelt and no food beforehand ).

Jason,

Can you tell me what paint used for this great model?
I want to follow your painting scheme.

Thanks,
Eric.

Sure! Tamiya primer, Tamiya acrylics mixed to "look good"... I used flat white, flat black, and German Grey for the darker Grey (lightened a little with white)... and the weathering is with powdered pigments, and airbrushing...

Boom! I just love how much incredibly cool stuff from the first Star Wars film is happening here this year.

Must be some kind of Studio-Scale Renaissance...
