As far as I can tell this was simply 1x of about 13x incandescent light bezels added to the modified underside and lower jaw box for ESB.

Not sure about the two above however at least 3x of these are the Plastruct lamp shades per Rick Deckard's previous post. I haven't scored these yet, but LF-412 should be the correct size.

Hence why the Centurion hull is now removable with machine hex screws.

Thanks Bjorn, that explains a lot!

Alrighty. Did some spring cleaning of the files today.

Junk Pilot, I now have a date and version on all of them.

Also, I cleaned up the file names. Somehow my autocorrect turned some of the "starboard" files to "startboard" All the names have been cleaned up. In addition for you Photoshop folks, I cleaned up and organized the layers.

Let me know what you think...

 

[jcoffman99]

Just to double check, there are 22 of these (including the missing ones) around the top turett right?

 

[JSchneider]

Let me check this again... Sorry. I count 22 as well! : o)

 

[jcoffman99]

This is what I'm using. I'm working on it now.

I think it‘s a happy mix of these, but didn’t figure out total quantities jet:

Right. I know some are different, but I'm just looking at total pieces to make sure I have a good 360 of the turett in my maps. Thanks!

Stoopid noob question coming up:
What's going on here? On Alan's image it seems a small black part is still sticking in the rim, on other pictures (Chronicles, Stephen's Indianapolis images) there's just a gap. An illusion? (2nd chronicle pic is the starboard side!). Anybody knows the history of these?

EDIT: probably just space screws for fixing the engine deck plate... just never noticed that before

Access hole for the screw maybe. Stuck over it, then needed removing possibly.

Looks like a screw to me that hold the engine deck. There are four screws just like the 32" Falcon but I may be mistaken...

 

[jcoffman99]

Darn space screws!!!

 

[jcoffman99]

Me too! I don't know why they put it there...

Just came across this. Jack for the lights maybe?

 

[jcoffman99]

Wait...what the....never saw this guy before.

 

[Bjorn]

I think its just styrene card.
It covers the cable run to the lights in the front mandible Ferrari end caps.

 

[eagle1]

I picked it simply as styrene strips back along when ID'ing & building the mandibles up. The lighting wires were painted over here, but in other areas the wire colors are exposed.

 

[jcoffman99]

So the Semovente guns were the original part on the turret right?

You could do 10 different maps on the turret with all the changes. Good grief.

 

[swgeek]

From what I know, that's correct.

 

[jcoffman99]

Upload some new ones to the drive. Thanks everyone that helped. Please let me know if you see any mistakes. I'll have another one for this area that shows some of the hidden parts on the sides.

 

[manugu]

I counted Mclaren pieces on the bottom port pit and ended up with this map. For this I used mainly additionally to your map Sean's and Stu's threads as reference, as well as pics from the Bandai.
So John: SPOILER ALERT (in case you have not figured all of it out by yourselve already )
blue McLaren, orange Lotus, red Payhauler, white Centurion (and one KettenKRad piece, #F88)

 

[jcoffman99]

I'm trying to keep my turret to the original configuration as closely as possible. Is the circled part here just a piece of styrene or a part? This is the only pic I've seen of it this way. (edit) Or is it just a distorted view of this piece?

Thanks,
John
