Hi,

This is the SS modeling for Turbo Laser which was used for the attack scene of DS in ANH.

Most donor parts were from Bandai tanks and I already had it fortunately.
If possible, I will apply the motorized function using the R/C gun turret rotation and elevator unit as the movie scene.

You can see my ANH models in the last pic.:)

thanks Eric.
 
Eric, thats beautiful, never been a fan of this as a prop, but seeing you, and Julien building them, in the nakedness of expensive donor parts, well, its all very easy on the eye.
Once again, your work, its clinical.....your a styrene surgeon :lol

Just like the Sandcrawler, the laser turret is one of my fav models, and you're doing a beautiful job on it ! And I can notice you're working fast, it will be finished very soon !

Keep up the good work Eric, you'll get the most beautiful ANH collection very soon, it will look just fine next to your ISD and crawler ! :love:thumbsup
 
He's going to have to build a Death Star for that collection. Very impressive work Eric. It will be a beautiful collection of replica props.
 
Thank you very much my Friends.:)

Lee,
I was also not interested in this model until few months ago.
But I noticed that I already own many kits was commonly used on ANH models and it is only started from this reason.:lol

Julien,
I have no skill to make SS model quickly...
The Turbo laser was planned for 2 months.
And I still need to make the my Tie, Escape Pod and Landspeeder in order to complete ANH collection.

Jason,
I never make the DS...because Rob already show ultimate DS...
As you can see, my house is not enough space to include a huge model.:cry

thanks Eric.

The first panel I cut for my turret was 2 years ago... so I have the feeling you're working quickly ! :lol Or I am very slow... :p

I have a question, is the Matilda part from the 1/48 Bandai kit ? The 1/72 Airfix isnt the right shape and it's too small !

Thanks :)
 
Hey Slow man :lol

Yes. Bandai Matilda is the right~!:)
I also posted the kit list on Studioscalemodeler where is Jason's site.

thanks Eric.

Eric thanks for that list posting mate.
Greatly appreciated & can be accessed by all.
I just got beat on a 1/24 Bandai Jagdpanther :cry
Would like to do a Parts Map for this also Eric for other modelers.
Hopefully one day will have Parts Maps for all the models at the site.
Keep up the good work buddy.
