I can scale it to any size. Printing smaller would be a bigger issue that printing it larger (except when it comes to cost). Is a 3-3/4" figure 1/18 scale?

You really nailed it when compared to this pic:
Can I ask how you made the rest? I see parts you scratched, pipes, etc. But those cross holder X looking things look dead on?

I absolutely love this too! Such a cool idea to include the sound stage! I'll be watching this with interest!

The set is looking fantastic, your details are what makes it look like you could walk right onto it -- Are you planning on doing an overhead lighting grid or will it only have minimum lighting ( landing lights and such )
Keep up the great work and i'm looking forward to the next update --

Really coming along beautifully. Thanks for the update!
Just a note someone asked about 1/48 scale figures, I am going to start a build on a 1/48 size falcon because I have a bunch of 34mm gaming figures. These are called Star Wars Miniatures made by Wizards of the Coast. they stopped producing them around 3 years ago, but you can still pick them up on the net.

and putting in "hoth" will show you a load of the characters available. You can pick them up all over ebay and the net, a company called troll and toad are pretty good. These are great 1/48 scale figures (strictly speaking its about 1/44). You can get virtually any figure you can think of. Figures such as hoth rebels will cost you around $.70, items such as artoo, c3p0, han solo will cost you around $6. You could easily cut the bases off, if you want to embed them in the plaster
Love the work btw!
A way I have seen concrete done in the past is to put down a thick layer of grey then coat in a thin matt varnish. However looking at the pics do you get to see much of the concrete in the film? The floor pretty much looks flat white?

Thanks for the heads up :thumbsup I'll have to check them out.
Speaking of figures, I picked up two of these protocol droids. It seams that back in 2005 Disney released a 1.5" C-3PO. Perfect size for 1/48 scale!

Awesome work seven.
Currently I'm building a hoth base for 3 3/4 inch action figures & may require some assistance with a thing or two.
Love everything so far

I know I'm late jumping in but I just had a thought for how you could animate the doors. Hopefully you can read my scribbles.

Basically, a servo with a spindle mounted on it placed in the center of the doors (above?) with a line attached near the front of the doors. The line could be then be routed around some pulleys (or just rods probably) on either end. I figured maybe a couple of springs in the door track would be able to handle closing the doors when the servo is reversed.
The distance of the door travel could be adjusted/determined by the number of rotations from the servo, the diameter of the spindle, the distance of the pulleys or by where the line is attached to the door itself, so all of those variable will need to be worked out.
But I'm just guessing at all of this. Keep up the inspiring work my friend!
