Thanks !! Pulling back the curtain a bit, below are a few screen grabs that give examples of Andre's (VFXSup64) amazing Photogrammetry Solves (i.e. Mad Skills) he created that translated to Maruska's 3D model for printing. (You can Reference VFXSup64's incredible journey here: SW – ANH (5 Foot) - Studio Scale Millennium Falcon Build)

One of the best things I did while painting my Dago was let it sit. This gives you a fresh set of eyes to come back in and say, 'Hey here are some parts that need a little more/less color/shading/weathering/scraping/etc. With that said, its coming along wonderfully
What is this part? Looks great,but I don't remember it being on the original model. I have a totally different one
This is what I have. Is my reference wrong?

Hey Faustus,
David3 is exactly right. The common reference used for the dish are the various pics as the model is today, not in the actual configuration when they filmed A New Hope. You can reference some of the "Chronicles" pics (as in the Black and White David3 inserted above) and various other vintage refs that show what you see today is both the Dish itself is rotated opposite of as-filmed, as well as the base itself. Notice the Harrier part in the base is 180 degrees out from what you see in current pics. So if you are going for the 'original' look, you'd want to flip your dish and rotate the base and orientation would match the pics of how I'm constructing mine. As for the parts, should be in the same Stug kit as the others on the dish.

!!! I'm gobsmacked!
Nice Updates!
Great work as usual Sean!
If I may ask, the Radar Dish base & A-Frame parts, were the machined or 3D Printed?
If 3D printed do you know what type of 3D printer & material was used?
Sorry for the pesky questions,
Very interesting work

The dish base parts were printed on a 3DSystems sPro 60 HD-HS in SLS Nylon.
Thanks! Joshua,
I use 3D systems printers a lot, though I haven't ha anything grown in SLS in a long time.
It makes sense though, for suck large parts.

What would be really cool is to be able to get a pic with this actually next to the real model. Be hard to tell the difference.
I don't think it would be that hard. T2sides is in better shape. No missing greeblies either
hey could you help me with these 3 ids they fell off the original and I see you have them. Thanks loads!
