I kind of like that the overall darkness allows you to be able to come up with some ideas of your own. I’ll be taking advantage of it!Yep, looking spiffy for sureAs far as "extra" details...I'm sure you'll come up with something cool since, in that scene, most of the details are in the dark.

I like taking a scene like this, and really looking around, seeing what cool stuff is way in the background for cool details. Like, looking on the very right middlish blue tinted area, you can see what look like stairs and more stuff like that. Not sure how over all big you plan to go, but, just cool for thought type stuff to possibly add to.

Those were self-dissolved cuffs

Watch at 1:24, the two ugnaughts remove the cuffs around his wrists. He still has the ones around his arms though.

I never realized that area you’re talking about was another carbon freezing chamber… may have to try my hand at something like a lithophane image for the background with some lights behind it.

I said I’d work on the claws but something small with the carbonite box sent me down that path… worse than a cat around a laser pointer. Anyway, got the box hollowed out for housing the power and electronics for the lights and took a shot at the greeblies.
Speaking of which, to the best of my knowledge there’s only that single shot from a set photo or something of the corner of the HIC from ESB (attached) where you can see a small portion of the bottom right hand cubby. If I’m wrong, feel free to let me know. I went ahead and took liberties with those like the vac tanks on the chamber floor.. like I’ll do with a large portion of this thing.

Thanks joberg! I don’t shy away from criticism so if you see anything that looks shoddy or not as accurate as it could be, feel free to critique, or make suggestions. I appreciate folks following the build!Looking very good

Got some of the ceiling structure knocked out along with the ramp legs. Attached 2 pics from the movie that I used for reference. So far this project is 12ft wide at 1/6 scale… the ramp added a lot more than I initially thought… think I’m gunna scale it all down to 1/12 and I may remove the ramp from the final build too. It’s kinda looking more like a playset with all that on there. 1/12 will keep at a realistic display size.
I was also thinking of cutting 1/4 of it off so that I had a flat surface to place against a wall to make it easier to display like I have it in the one image. We’ll see.
I’m about 70% done with the solid works portion. Still have to figure out the mechanics.

Yeah I keep going back and forth with the sizes. Right now I’m sticking with plan A, building the whole massive 1/6 scale set for the challenge. When I take all my pics and videos of it, I’ll break it down and move on to building a 1/12 version. Been away for the past 2 weeks so I’m excited to get back into it.
