This build is amazing, I fully agree. Any cheer section needed, I'll volunteer.

This video might be inspiration for you too? But it is in German.

If you want to see it, you need to visit

Looks great. And nice mini in the back of shot

Seems that the Palp'ster was a collector of old engine parts and exhasts. He even has a Snow Speeder exhaust ....in a used condition, one not so careful owner, location - Hoth. Buyer collects in person only, I would think.

What kind of twisted collecting obsession is this!?!!

Aaah, hold on.... stator blades and glass houses, and all that.

Nice! Incredible build!

I always wondered what that stuff was supposed to be and why it'd be cluttering up his throne room? Is it supposed to be his luggage or something? lol!

 

[Vaderman]

Eh, it was temporary quarters. They were having storage issues, IKR.

Yes! those glass houses. I laughed at those a few years back but now my one has started and getting larger. Maybe the throne room is like Colonal Kurtz ear necklace, but not as extreme..

Whoops, Apocalypse.

Thinking about it like that, makes sense, In that frame there's a part from the cantina, possibly a piece or two from the outside of the ANH Falcon, some bits from Hut's palace and I think I see some of the compressor section from a Pegasus.

Palp'y was collecting trophies!

A lot of "fart-arsing-around" to get the dash finished. Still some finishing touches to go but 95% complete. The red "static mess" playing is just temporary. Big red buttons to come that will sit either side of the dash area.

Awesome. The red mess looks so official. I could totally fake that it is telling me something very important.

That looks great! What software do you use to create the motion graphics?
I love seeing this come together!

So simple i hate to give the secret away! It is just an iphone (Right screen) and an ipad (center console). The iphone is just playing a sequence of JPEG images put together in imovie. The center console is playing a screen recording of "red moving shapes" from the net. I will do a custom one eventually as i want the round circle screen playing something different to the red horizontal screens. I can only think of cutting together still images in Adobe Premiere so they fit the dash board template. Happy for any other suggestions though..

Great stuff man! The ipad could take care of the audio too - some 5.1 surround Tangerine Dream or something.

This has been making me chuckle since lunch time - whilst returning to the sources for props inspiration lol. The Volve 343DL, they're boxy but you could remain seated while an ATAT tramples you under foot!!

my volvo joke......In the news today, two protesters parked their cars to block the entrance to a working coal mine. A truck driver attempted to power through, ramming into the gap between the two parked vehicles, at relatively high speed. Neither of the two Volvos was harmed but the lawsuit over the ownership of the world's largest diamond will be going for years to come.

It;s just something about that dashboard....
