Building Endor Bunker Shield Generators

[seven]

When I first saw the shield generator models at CIV, I was determined to build them some day. I have been able to gather a few items and have now started the build. This is going to be my first SS model.

I picked up a set of medicine cups that go in the center, now I just need to pick up the cups that are on top of the dome and the large cups that is part of the base. In my search I have only been able to find them in bulk. I may just have to give in and buy the 1000 plus cups...

I know that the Apollo engines are the wrong ones, I will update those with the correct ones.

any help on ID'ing parts will be appreciated

Very interesting model.

Is it certain those cups were the plastic ones? The outer perimeter or "lip" seems a bit thicker on the original prop, like maybe they were the paper variety...

Either way, cool model and I'll be interested to see it finished. :thumbsup

Ah, COOL! I've been waiting for someone to do this! Excellent start.

Awesome, i love these things! Hmm still reckon the upper section consists of some form of Trans casing, possibly from a 1/12 F1, not 100% yet.

No wonder why it's always so hard to find a Saturn V model, lol.

Looking like a great start.

the upper cups that I have there in the pic are not the correct size no. The base Dia. is just a little to small.

I'll be picking up the correct sized ones, hopefully later.

Picked up the Airfix Apollo

Forgive the excess glue residue. It gets on my fingers, then I get it on everything else.

I feel like I am starting a cup collection. I picked up a couple different brands (including Dixie) to compare and see which cups looks more spot on.

Let me know what you guys think

first the bottom cups:

Top cups:

No expert, but the one on the right looks better to me. I also remember those being more resilient than the ones on the left which crack easily.

i've got a ton of extra small cups, however most (if not all at the moment) are the wrong style. Trying to find smaller quantities till I find the right ones.
