DEATH STAR CANNON SB-920

[GEEK1138]

OK, so I modelled this with a view to building a full scale working prop. This is definitely a 'some time in the future' project but I thought I would share it with you guys. Most of it will be scratch built and will need welding, CNC etc but I have already printed out and laser cut the parts that lend themselves to those procedures. I still need to work it all out when I have finished the other jobs in the pipeline.
I went mad with some renders too coz it's such a cool prop
I have put it in my Etsy shop if anyone wants to print it at 1/6; A hub for 3D printable STAR WARS by IMPERIALPRINTHUB on Etsy

"Working"?

“I like the sound of that...”

This is definitely a 'some time in the future' project

For most of us, that would mean maybe next year.

But at the pace you're going, should we expect the first pics of the full scale assembly 'sometime next week'?

^^What he said you - crazy - building - machine - you

So I decided to print this at 1/6 to test the files for scale and fitting and see how it all feels...pretty happy with the outcome. Will paint it up and finish it as soon as the base is done

 

[joberg]

See? I knew it !! Couldn't help yourself mate...you had to print it I think IzzyMel did a 1/6 scale also

 

[ID10T]

Soooo…

This would then be a Cannon cannon?

This would then be a Cannon cannon?

If you're referring to "a criterion or standard of judgment" or "a body of principles, rules, standards, or norms" - it's spelled canon.

 

[ID10T]

Yeah, that.

 

[GEEK1138]

OK job done;

 

[ID10T]

What's your plan for the trippy light ring these had on their side?

 

[Frenzy1971]

So you want it to rotate on the pedestal? full size- wouldn't that be the dimensions of a car without the barrell?

 

[joberg]

Hell yeah
