Yaknow - I always wonder why there is so much rust in space... Thank god.

Dave G's build gave me the push I needed to do what I was planning on eventually doing any way, I guess. It's designed in four segments that will stack, with the topmost being an extension of the existing turret Wasili routed in styrene. Topmost lip will be a panel line so when it's all stacked, the seam should be invisible for the transition from ILM-based tower to gigantic tower.
So it's early days for "phase two" of this build, but with any luck I'll be carting this to the model shows next year!

Damn. I've been looking for those like crazy these last few weeks. Great to get a better look.Yah, but too hard to resist doing!
Also having these recent discoveries cast up, as I want the tower to have a few extras here and there, echoing the top elements.

Hey Guys, this last bit of found parts is really round 2 of additional stuff found. I already did a free update on stuff. I sent out a bunch of them and still have a bunch cast up. I am sure i missed a few people and a few got returned to me for the wrong address. So if you did not get the update PM me with your name and address.
I am not completely familiar with what all the donor parts are, i am just following what J sends me, so i apologize in advance if i am unable to answer what comes in the update kit, either the first or this new one. I am not building one of these for myself so i never studied the model much.
I received my parts from Wasili about a month ago. So they are still going out. It was a long wait, but Wow are the parts amazing. I did the dry fit and now I'm working out internal engineering. Just simple mechanicals so it can be stop motion animated. Late December/early Jan is my slow time for work, so it's a binge build. I have all the parts I can ID pulled, so a set of casts of those final few bits would be huge.
Thanks Jason for the guide and the photos of your under-construction and finished build and to all who have contributed info, part IDs, casts and build inspiration.
