Lee so many levels of cool in this build! Congrats!

Lee- Stunning build! I love the base section. Completes it nicely.

Great build and perfect paintwork Lee. The weathering is spot on to my mind.
Jason, That armatronics is awesome. Pity the best stuff is always expensive............

I'll be adding this into mine as soon as he's done with the programming - I want the guns to fire while elevating and rotating, tracking an X-Wing "off camera". He's so close now! He's been on this for a while.

Won't be done for WF this year, but I aim to have all five feet of it done for next year's 40th anniversary!

Lee, I love the added greeblies on the extension you made. It looks seamless!!

That is some incredible work!

 

[thorst]

That looks great already without the proper model around it!

Met Lee at Dutch Comic Con last weekend. Top notch gent! His tower is a real showstopper. Extension blends beautifully with the other pieces.

Hey look, models!
and a faked 'cinefex pose' :-D
Mostly finished mine, for display at last weekends Dutch Comicon.
Next is adding some mechanics and electronics for the movement.

Just got mine today too! I'm really looking forward to building it finally.

 

[moffeaton]

Yeah, it's really something!

Thanks Jason. I had actually seen it on Facebook already, cool.
That's some piece of engineering, wow.

 

[DaveG]

Very cool! I want one that has motion tracking to follow people as they walk by.

 

[moffeaton]

Hehe

[satazius]

Wow. That is sweet. Love those slight overlaps at the angle changes. Just like the sketches. Will be a thing of beauty.

My electronics from Helios arrived today, so I'll be back into finishing up my build finally.

 

[DaveG]

Damn, now I've got Turret envy!

 

[OTnROTSfan]

My "deluxe" animatronics set just arrived from Germany, too... all I can say is oh my goodness!! I chose the "put it together yourself" option. Clearing off one of my benches for this over the next week or two, now that I have everything. Shooting to get up and rolling around the Thanksgiving holiday (actually have some full weeks off coming up for once). Also need to figure out why my pic uploads to PB are broken. Hope to start a thread... J, your link is broken above, but I'm guessing what's there... getting inspired...

Hi to all . I am trying to build my turret, already have Mike Salzo resin parts , but i miss the chance of have the incredible kit from Wasili . This amazing thread had all the pics of the assembly of the model, but it appears that the photos are not available anymore, is there someone that could have save them? And is it possible to send to me ?
Thanks in advance
