Executor Command Tower

[MonsieurTox]

Wow, I didnt know someone would be crazy enough to build this baby ! Good start so far !

You probably already know them but here are some more parts :

Blue : MPC Slave One
Yellow : 1/35 Tamiya Möbelwagen
Green : 1/35 Tamiya 8 Rad
Purple : 1/350 Tamiya Bismarck

Etc...

BTW would you tell me what are the red parts ?

Thank you.

The red part are from the Revell Lexington.

The other red part is from a Tamiya 1/6 Motor cycle, I think it is the Z1300 (The long thin one)

I added another picture to the ones listed above

Its pretty clear ILM re-dressed this bridge model for both the Avanger and Executor. Main difference (from the screen capture, and the refrence photos posted here) seems to be the center bridge piece. Looks to be about 40-50% larger for the Avenger, than the smaller one seen here on the Executor

No, that was a way bigger SD tower, to fit the 32" Falcon. Easily 2 or 3 times bigger than the ROTJ tower model.

Yeah, but they only needed to build one side of the SD bridge tower for the 32" Falcon to sit on.

(note the angle of the neck...They almost got the whole model in the shot, and you can see how under detailed parts of it are)

Thank you ! Will check my Z1300 kit, do you have a kit scan of the Lexington kit (or pics of the sprues) ?

 

[Flameout]

I'll take the pictures tonight and email them to you of the Lexington Parts/Sprues

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thank you very much ! :thumbsup

Not much of an update. I mocked up most of the side, still have a lot of styrene plates to cut out yet.
In the last picture I've drawn a red box around a part I need help ID'ed. It's the last part I need to know for this side and having it would help me determine the dimensions.

I apologize for the quality of the pics.

Been working on the hero side trying to determine the dimensions. I used 8" for the front and 16" for the bottom length. (May need more than 16" based on the look of it).

Also, if anyone is interested in ROTJ donor kits, you can add the following to Julien's list at the start of this thread

Tamiya 1/12 RE-20
Tamiya 1/35 M577
Roco M-60
Tamiya 1/35 Type 74
Tamiya 1/350 Tirpitz
Revell Lexington

Great job !

Well for the Bismark I was maybe wrong they may have used only the Tirpitz as they're sister ships !

There is a small gun frolm a Duster, probably a 1/87 Roco Duster, judging by the size of the other parts... 1/87 sounds good but maybe 1/72, not bigger !

Cool, finally you found another use for the type 74 besides the 3 parts it donates to the shuttle lol That's sad because this kit has a lot fo good greeblies !

:thumbsup

You weren't wrong on the Bismarck, it's used on the bottom section. They used both kits

Great Job so far Flameout, keep it up!
