ANH * Death Star Laser Turret

[Scott Graham]

And the part just to the left of that looks like a headlight mount for a large tank. Probably one of the 1/15th scale ones.

 

[jedimaster]

You're right Scott. This is from the nichimo panther but it's definitely from a panther.

Thanks wasili~! Great pics!
Actually, I've Ided most of donors in the rear, but I just wanted to confirm it clearly
Jedimaster, that part is used from bandai panther!!!

I will post my progress...tonight.

Thanks Eric.

 

[jedimaster]

Well I feel dumb... I had every panther kit I own out last night except for the obvious.... Duh!

Hi Buddies,

Can you tell me what kit used for these parts? if you have IDed...

Thanks Eric.

 

[ckwanwoo]

Exactly~!:thumbsup
Actually, I was confused that part because I mis-IDed it by White Boss...

Thanks Eric.

Sweet find Jedimaster !!!!!!

Oh, and actually the Haseg 1/76 Sherman kit itself is not used on the Turret, under the barrels. It's the cast greeblie strip that was used in the trench of the ANH Star Destroyer, which happens to have a Sherman on it. That's why it looks so solid.

Cheers,
Wasili

Was just goin to cast it up solid anyway but that is interesting.. I don't think I've seen it on the SD but then I haven't been looking for it. Gonna have to go look.

Thanks .

I already have a mold for it, see post 1, picture 2. The blue mold on the lower right corner. Left to that is the Hummel vent mold, and left to that is the Hummel cog wheel mold.

Wasili

 

[jedimaster]

Yeah I saw those . Like the rest of your work they are very clean and precise. Unlike mine. I'm gonna have to get in some more silicon so I can cast up all the pieces in 4 or 5 sheets me thinks. Still got a few more kits to get then I'll do a complete part set or partial set for those interested.

 

[Scott Graham]

Hey Eric,

The lower left piece looks like a rectangular vent piece form the 1/48 panther. I've seen the same part in the gun area.

The mid right side piece that I said looks like a headlight base seems to be this piece from the 1/15 Bandai Stug. I can't compare it to the size of other pieces, but this sure looks like the piece.

Yeah those are also used on the Falcon !

Hi Scott,

OMG...
I have never thought that part came from Stug....:cry
Thank you very much Scott

On the other hand, although that part is similar to the rectangular vent piece from panther, it is slightly different...???


thanks Eric.

Hey Eric, you may want to update your kit list on the first page with the Kenworth 123 in case anyone is buying kits for their build.

 

[Junk Pilot]

I'm only able to highlight the obvious. 2 x Aurora M8 Carrier blades and what looks to be the front axle from a truck, perhaps the previously mentioned Kenworth as well as some T track that runs down the curved barrel slot/mount.

 

[Treadwell]

In the pic above, the top arrow runs right through Harrow wheel suspension.

 

[Scott Graham]

I didn't realize the Harrow was used on this. Could you be more specific Treadwell? The part that looks like a suspension piece there is thought to be from an AMT truck suspension.

 

[MonsieurTox]

I think he's speaking about the part under the AMT truck suspension. Are you sure it's from the Harrow Jay ? The details of my kit dont match...

 

[Scott Graham]

That's a 1/76 sherman suspension group, if I'm looking at the correct part. It's the 3 backsides of the bogies attached to the side of the hull=all one piece. It does look like some of the harrow details, true.
